I was at the game and the incident happened right in front of me. Pretty much all the crowd around me agreed JVR had his eyes on the ball.

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" ?

Does anybody know if the club has managed to track down this so called reasonable person the Tribunal keep referring to. I have a feeling that if we can find him/her they might be able to clear up this matter rather quickly.

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
