As I hear Harmes wasn’t training Monday 

I suspect that the person you are calling Champion is anything but - Michael Christian.   He is anything but impartial and has an agenda, either his own or called from HQ. 

Thanks, thinking of other things whilst at the keyboard; sorry! You got my drift....well done.

If down the track one of our more high profile players is cited for a similar type of tackle and the next game is a final or even a GF, would we appeal? 

I'd say no doubt we would, especially if it's an Oliver, Petracca or a Gawn

So why not appeal now to see how far we can stretch things?  A test case so to speak

I understand that we aren't appealing but I would have appealed if only to see what the result would be

So in other words you take up the fight knowing that you'll probably lose but ... you live to fight another day

i never thought something could be more inconsistent than afl umpiring ......

... and then along came christian and the mro

it seems no-one knows the rules, but manipulating them is ok

more chance playing russian roulette

Should take him to Adelaide anyway to catch up with his family.

Luke Jackson was given permission to go home for a few days. How did that turn out for us?  We're playing a crucial game on Friday night its not a family outing.

 

I have no issue in accepting Sparrow's 1 match. What is going to be the real story is when a higher profile player is put in this situation and there is the cumulative precedent (Sparrow, Close, Kozzy, Merrett and others) that is overlooked by the MRO. 

I get umpires are out-of-bounds for club scrutiny, but there needs to be visible (public) pressure / displeasure that can be directed at the MRO if this situation were to arise (by the clubs).  I think he gets away with too much inconsistency - unlike umpires - he has ample time to get it right. The JVR citation was an outlier and im now of the belief was probably more the AFL than MRO, so happy to let that slide (for now).

WHAT UTTER HYPOCRITCAL CLAP!

For me, so well put ... fully understand ... strongly aligned ... constantly challenged about variant decisions ... it ain't a fair suck of the sav but that is the way they (AFL) want it all to be ... too many vested interests and dollars to accumulate. Take the backhand pecuniary interests out of the game and a more level playing field would result.

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    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.
