Common sense prevails! Absolutely no immediate reaction from any Suns player. Players respond straight away when something dirty has occurred. They knew, like most of us, Jacob was just trying to spoil the mark. Look at Jacobs reaction too attempting to give a hand to help Ballard up and showing he was sorry to have caused an injury. Well done young man! I was also very impressed with Kozzy's genuine concern for the injured player as he stayed at the scene for quite a while.Great to have him on board at the MFC.

Clearly Michael Christian needs to study the laws of the game

On this effort and many of his past efforts, I honestly think he should step down. To actually sanction a player for which that player has protection under 18.5 clearly shows he has no understanding of the rules and to totally ignore the hit on Bowey from Chol is a derilection of duty and proves he is no longer a suitable person to hold such a position.

Glad you mentioned that: I noticed it as well and felt proud of both of them.

The match reviews should really be conducted by the MRO viewing ALL of each match's footage, without ANY commentary audio.

I'd like to see them clarify something like this:

"Swinging arms and fists that connect directly with the head or face in an attempt to spoil is not incidental contact. Straight arm spoils where there is no contact between the first and head, will be considered incidental contact, where the sole objective is spoiling or contesting the mark."

Overhead marking contests means high contact will occur. As it does in netball. But swinging fist style spoils probably void the duty of care to the other player, where that swinging fist is aimed at the head and not the ball.

Was going to ask why the emergency umpire does not watch the game with this in mind. But I see they dropped having an emergency umpire when they went to four field umps. 

I’m currently at an MFC function. It’s amazing what you hear when it’s just you who’s listening: I asked Pres. Kate her thoughts on the Rooey thing. Not gonna repeat what she said but if anyone really wants to know, just go back through this thread and randomly pick any of @Jaded No More’s posts and you’ve got it. 🤣🤣🤣 


Perhaps the AFL got a NO WIN, NO FEE deal, just so they don't feel like complete losers. 🤔

Great minds think alike... 

Honestly, this is going to seem ridiculous but probably not  any more than the original penalty applied to Van Rooyen.

If the penalty stood for this incident, then, in an instant, 75 % of all actions on a football field become a potential source of a suspension for every single player in the comp.

And the next logical step would be to allow only one player to go for a mark to remove the possibility of any injury to any player. Perhaps the single player allowed to go for the mark should be the one who first calls out " IT'S MINE !!! "

Any other player attempting to compete for it concedes a free kick and a 50 metre penalty.

This might not be so far from a probable outcome as people might think

With the AFL as it's currently run, anything is possible

It used to be a committee of 3, and they were supposed to watch all matches, on replay if nec, and make their own decisions. Not sure why they changed it; might have been it took too long for the 3 to get together and exchange notes.

Now it seems suspiciously as if Christian waits for the TV broadcasters and panel shows to get all outraged, or all meh, and lay his charges based on that.

I just came off AFL website, I was looking for their statement regarding JVR and you are right, Rif, Zero, Zilch nothing to see here folks, a bit churlish I think. Biggest story of the week has disappeared leaving no trace.!!!

Pravda just took the aap feed - https://www.afl.com.au/news/922801/young-dee-learns-fate-after-suspension-appeal

No columnist would dare touch it, plus Barrett's sliding doors yarn is submitted on a Wednesday evening / Thursday morning so didn't comment on it specifically but the mro process in totality:

  • 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.
