Is this good or bad or is everyone drunk? 

The appeals board has to finish their 10 course meal and wine so it looks like they took a great deal of time to set a precedent that applies to most clubs except Carlton and Collingwood for a start. By the way does Christian ever charge a Collingwood player?

    Well it's not actually in the rules, so precedent or not, any player could be rubbed out at any time, for anything

    JVR took off to spoil as he was not able to access the flight point to mark. He went up with some force to effectively reach the incoming ball - no contact at that point - but in that split second of hitting the ball (no contact at that point) he was already obeying the laws of gravity (he was already coming down) and a reversing opponent moved into his soft inner arm (not bent or braced) as JVR was descending (by the way, JVR did all that is possible in avoiding deliberate contact or enacting injury to his opponent). That is evident from watching the event, from watching the replays ad nauseum, from an understanding a basic knowledge of the physics of moving matter. JVR is therefore being penalised for what? Taking off the ground and following Newton's laws of gravity? If he had wings or a jet engine strapped for ignition on his back, it would not be an issue....

    The AFL clearly unhappy that we are not taking this on the chin and threatening with a fine for Greens comments. 

    Probably didn’t expect the uproar from the club.

    Well if we're being honest. This whole circus is about getting him out there for the Port game where he could make a difference, if Port come to play. Pricinples and Fair defence of our aside

    For me it’s as much about removing any doubt rooey has about how he should approach the contest. His greatest attribute and we have a league telling him it’s all wrong.

    I have no doubt the coaches have the arms all around him on this fear, but it would be nice for the AFL to send him on his way and say carry on lad

    I agree: the real meaning of Cognitive Dissonance is a mind enclosed and moated by its superstitions, values, and beliefs, beliefs usually instilled from the onset of consciousness. In other words, if you are brought up to believe, just say, that there is a Holy Trinity, then, only intelligent people question this possibility. In other words, its an academic term for a very closed mind.

    Is that like an Appeals board?

    Why can’t Brad green voice his opinion. It’s called free speech.

    Actually, Brad's behaviour is governed by corporate law, not the bloody AFL.

    Charged with striking

    Did not strike

    QED

    A few years back I think before the 2004 GF, Jonathan Brown was charged with rough play after putting someone in a headlock than swinging them to the ground and landing on them with his body, ultimately a stupid, dangerous and thug act. A Lions member who was also a lawyer contacted the club and told them to argue he couldn’t be charge with rough play as play had technically stopped because it was 3/4 time. He was free to play, this is a prime example why sport’s tribunals need to be run differently from courts of law.

    Interesting thought.

    It takes over 75 minutes for 3 ex player lawyers to decide if a player did the wrong thing in one second.

    Makes the whole thing seem totally ridiculous.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
