    Fox have a stupid segment called "ear massages" where they have dozen of examples every week. 

    Chol was unreasonable with possibility to cause serious damage yet not cited. 

    They pick and choose. 

    If this was in the NRL,  Chol would have been cited for a high shot & sent to the bin. AFL? Pffft. Nothing to see here.

    Can someone explain what the outcome would have been if JVR had actually connected with the ball?

    This decision will absolutely make no difference to the way the game is played. There will be some media talk, we will point out in outrage identical incidents that result in no report but then the next shiny thing will come along and this will be forgotten by the media and no one else will face a similar report. MFC shafted again.

    You can take that to the bank.

    The AFL Commission was founded in 1985. As much as the AFL would have you believe otherwise.

    I was thinking this too. Based on the finding, i don’t think it matters. 
     

    So In effect Ballard was given permission to mark that ball with the full protection of the AFL because JVR wasn’t close enough to spoil in a way that he wouldn't get hit in the head. 
     

    The AFL need to rid themselves of Gleeson, it was on his watch that Cripps won the Brownlow and that this ruling was made.

    I had an epiphany a few dayz ago about Gil.

    In mythology and the study of folklore and religion, a trickster is a character in a story (god, goddess, spirit, human or anthropomorphisation) who exhibits a great degree of intellect or secret knowledge and uses it to play tricks or otherwise disobey normal rules and defy conventional behavior. The trickster archetype is a character that is built on the fundamental idea of one party deceiving or playing tricks on another. There are many obvious examples around the world. Musk comes to mind. Warne did it often (before most test series, "I've been working on a new ball") - Darryl Cullinan anyone?

    In the last month, I feel I've had the wool pulled over my eyes by Gil.

    • Gather Round was declared a success before a footy was kicked in anger, and the South Australians handed the round for the next three years, no discussion entered into.
    • The Tasmanian jamboree is full of so many holes and smokes and mirrors, it will be a miracle if it actually goes ahead (this is a different argument to whether or not Tasmania is worthy of an AFL team).
    • And then tonight . . .

    I'm being told night is day, black is white. Gaslighting I think is the term.

    More comedic relief.

     

    Peter O'Farrell (Carlton): I understand the panel has had a long afternoon and long evening, so I'll seek to be brief.

    I like Peter.

     

    The Tribunal is now deliberating. I am now tired.

    We're honestly one step away from banning players for injuring themselves.

    Did I tell you about Anderson, he doesn’t win at the Tribunal generally.

    I am not blaming him of course, as I think he presented a good case.

    There is something more going on here and as I said in another post it is about litigation.

    I would think an Appeal gets up and AFL can say we will do everything possible to protect players.

    How was Fogarty not charged for breaking Murphy‘a nose the week before.

    To me they have once again gone the non big club, non star player and used him as a PR pawn, to show they are actively doing their best to stamp out head injuries.

    I am outraged at this blatant PR manipulation affecting a young innocent kid. The AFL should be ashamed of itself.

    I may boo the AFL at the game this weekend.

    Time for the dog to wag the tail.

    We made this game.....

    Time to remind some....

    Couldn’t agree more Red. And as this has the potential to change our game, we should elicit the support of the other 17 clubs to attack this ridiculous verdict at the Appeal. We cannot let our game be Rooyened.

    Saying it again - there was no contact to the head either by JVR or by the ground.  
    These idiots are contradicting themselves.

    Well I would counter that by stating that a reasonable person would say you don't have a ffing clue.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
