NARRM recruit Lachie Hunter has been suspended for one match for his high bump on Connor Rozee.

The MRO cited Hunter for forceful front-on contact, deeming the incident as careless conduct, medium impact and high contact.

What total Bullfrap!!!!!!!!!!!

Just as the news came through, I was going to post that Christian will obviously suspend Van R for retaliating at the 16 minute mark of the last quarter.

Influencing the result is more important than correct decisions. Once again.

No he doesnt was our second best last night. Get ur glasses on the one that needs a rest is Langdon bog ordinary!!

I must be in the minority on this one but I think it is a clear 1 match suspension. 

Lachie had plenty of time to bend down and try to win that footy with his hands and head down...he didn't and elected to lead with his hip. Yes, Rozee ran into him but Hunter elected not to contest the footy whilst Rozee chased it the right way 

Take the week and move on, I'm pretty far from in love with what Hunter is bringing anyway. Valuable width and positional stuff but he continually asks too much of his teammates by handballing to their feet or kicking scrubbers not to their advantage. Further, he has a gawn-esque hook from a set shot and very hit and miss distance wise.

I don't agree with you and neither will the club. Anyone who has been paying attention to these things over the last 2 years would see it as a clear suspension. If he didn't play for the Dees you would too.

As for his performance - I'm aware he was our 2nd highest ranked player statistically but my eyes tell me he is poor for our overall cohesion and cleanliness. Not dissimilar to the decision the club made on Frost - in his own right an OK key defender, but just detracted from our overall system. Hunter is nowhere near as headless and I said he is strong positionally, but his disposal is very rarely to our advantage 

I don't disagree on the sea of mediocrity though 

If we accept Hunters 1 week suspension I’ll be checking out from the 2023 H&A season.

I’ve never been so disheartened by the direction of the game and its management.  
 

It’s just too infuriating. 

This isnt about "a player" anymore.

This is about pushing back.

Collingwood wouldn't stand fot it... and i begrudgingly admire them gor not taking [censored] from fools .

Nor should we.

Christian is an egomaniac.

The club statement on the suspension has left the door open for us to challenge. I suspect the club will look at Hunter's action, whether he elected to bump, and weigh up an appeal based on their odds of a successful challenge.

My take is it's pretty line ball whether Hunter bumped, braced or turned sideways to protect himself and gather the ball in the same motion. Players are allowed to brace or protect themselves when gathering the ball but if they elect to bump then they are in trouble.


I think we could definitely challenge and win. Whether we will or not I’m not sure.

Pretty clearly elected to bump in my view..had plenty of time to put his head down and contest. Chose not to, lead with the hip and the player contesting the ball in the right way was collected high as a result. Protecting the player with his head over the footy is literally why these rules exist. Umpire immediately reported so must have thought similiar 

Pretty cut and dry imo, the outrage & bleating is not justified and only shows that most here do not take notice when players on other teams cop their whack for this

Fur christ sake he held his ground no more no less! Charge Rozee cheeks for a tunnel attack on the ball for which.. If Hunter wasn't braced would have resulted in a total knee reconstruction and potentially END OF CAREER. TIME TO CALL OUT CHRISTIAN and whole match review process

 Christ Im LIVID with this one😠

Turning side on and keeping your head up is what the AFL ask in winning ground balls.

As is slowing up and not rushing head first in to a dangerous situation. Rozee did everything wrong and had Hunter stayed fully up right he could’ve done the fake trip and taken the slide rule free.

The only question is did Hunter brace for contact or was his late moment dipping the hips some form of bump. 

If Hunter not making the distance from 35 hasn’t convinced people then surely his effort on the back flank when he tried to turn his man out the back rather than open his body, just and wear a spoil should’ve.

This is a player without any power in the legs or strength in the contest.

Just put this picture up.

Hits him at best with his bum in the chest and Rozee actually grabs Hunter as contact takes place.

How is that high contact?

Many far worse especially in the first half, he was involved a lot of others were hardly sighted.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
