I think we had to pay $10,000 to appeal which we get back if/when we win.

 

Is that reasonable? 😁

    I agree. The vibes are off and I don’t think our counter argument was at all strong enough.

    Im more worried about the kid in his 5th game getting all this lumped on him, when he was doing nothing more than following a coaches instructions.

    The Appeal Board is back and has no questions.

    The Appeal Board is NOW deliberating.

    It appears the Appeal Board has folded and will come back with a ruling in favor of the AFL.

    Assuming this.... they are now tainted with the AFL's "make it up as you go along" brush and as a club we can expect further unreasonable outcomes such as this in future but ONLY when/where it suits the AFL to do so.

    A similar occurrence with others (eg; Fogarty) will result in said player not even being sited, cleared even if he is or a minor slap on the wrist depending on the Player/Club in question.

    The circus rolls on!

    Yeah. There's a "predetermined" feel to all this. 

    Comes down to fingers crossed for me

    Except nowhere in the law does it say that you have a duty of care when going to contest the ball. 
    Where is that specific law? 

    When you're banging your head against a brick wall (AFL) good luck.

    On a different note, not entirely sure we were thoroughly strong with our case. Felt like Adrian Anderson had a stronger case.

    Does anyone know if the David King 55% stat on JVR includes that high ball forward on the weekend? You know the one that landed on a Sun in the pock....

    Oh, ahhh, never mind.

    Just saw on the news that Brad Green has been sanctioned by the AFL for his twitter comment into this ban! 😂

    The club has been asked to explain his criticism of the Tribunal on Twitter

    Maybe we're going with an alternative plan. Perhaps the strategy has always been to lose gallantly to get the rest of the team up in arms with an "us and them mentality" which is intended to take them through to the end of September. Mind you, it's not the strategy I'd be going with.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
