What hasn't been mentioned is that no Suns player remonstrated with Van R. Ellis was standing beside them as they fell and he immediately ran upfield, assuming a free would be paid...In other words, he was ten meters away and saw nothing untoward and assumed a free kick would be paid, end of matter...

Even the square off by the Suns players was half hearted.

Including that rat Powell who casually went over to pick up the ball, when Ballard was lying on the ground, to ensure that he got another kick for his stats and SuperCoach profile

Think its time for me to invest in a grid iron helmet, and cut out my wife's shoulder pads from her '80s collection! Just need a Hunt or Naughton headband and I'll be rockin' (and compliant)!!

Make sure you agree on a safe word before you start.

I do.

It was Jack Viney 2014

Prior to this was the Trengove sling tackle on Dangerfield but at the time we were very much irrelevant so no-one really cared. Dangerfield miraculously recovered from his concussion and was best on ground the following week.

The Viney brace was legendary.

Am I correct in understanding that had JVR actually touched the ball, even by a whisker, then we wouldn't even be having this conversation and it'd simply be put down as a "football incident" ?

Pfffft.   The AFL has never had integrity, so why would it start now?  New CEO, maybe? But then he has been part of the circus long enough so nothing will change 

Mmm, I've always had to reconcile my feelings about the AFL by accepting they are basically operate as a political organisation.

It's all about optics and grabbing more power.

You want a footy team in Tassie? Build a new stadium with 3 thousand extra seats before we could possibly enter a team.

Allegations of racism at Hawthorn? High profile coach at the centre of it has not even been interviewed yet.

Betting scandal involving an umpire?....Crickets.

Criticism that the game is a bit slow? Keep changing the rules making it more complex and irrational.

Umpiring standards are woeful? Just chuck another one on the field.

Litigation by former players around CTE? Better look like we're doing something about it. Let's find a scapegoat = MFC and JVR.

They are a 7 X 24 spin cycle mates club machine.

The AFL acts like a political party. It's all about how it looks.

The only way JVR gets off is if the media howls the AFL down.

So far so good. 

Even if he gets off, nothing will really change unless people stop attending or watching.

If it wasn't for my passion for the MFC, there's no way I would be watching or attending this weird circus.

I put the AFL on par with the royal family (aka the firm).  It is protect the brand AT ALL COSTS.

Outrage. 47 pages. They AFL are just making it up as they go. 
 

Fogarty. Oops a mistake.  Why not bring that to MRO and the tribunal.  It was far worse.  
 

No striking. No intent. No swinging arm. No concussion. 
 

Should have reasonably foreseen causing injury and contact.  Thats not right. Where’s that new rule !!!! That’s every contest in our game.  You cannot stop going for a spoil in a marking contest.

Just heard the most sensible comment on this matter.

Jordan Lewis on 360 - " They are making it up as they go along "

Can't argue with that !!!

I liked his dig at Will Powell too, I think Jordan still rates the players code quite high

That would be far too sensible a narrative for the toilet trained AFL media to put out.

No. That is not part of the decision.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
