Parker upheld for a lesser tackle. Cerra is no chance of getting off..

You don’t understand how the tribunal works if you think their rulings are based on consistency 🙄😂

    The AFL will look to apply ad-hoc equalisation methods beginning tonight by clearing Cerra for his dump tackle. 

    I’m probs going straight to hell for saying this but since Cerra playing or not playing this week won’t affect whether we win or lose, a part of me hopes he gets off purely to see the mega melts on here.

    I mean, a Tribunal Tuesday meltdown is very on brand for Demonland this season

    GTFO? 
    I cannot believe this. What a complete farce. Gleeson has to be removed.

    If he doesn’t win their B&F, he’s been robbed.

    The tribunal's reasoning:

    "We're terribly sorry. The MRO clearly thought Mr Cerra still played for Fremantle. If he'd realised he played for Carlton, he never would have been charged.

    We're just glad this terrible wrong has been righted."

    Wasn’t Sparrows tackle identical? I mean no arms pinned as well? This a utter BS but we all knew it would happen. 

    Right hand vs Left hand, hair doesn’t doesn’t touch the ground etc. 

    It the AFL doesn’t appeal, they are complicit.

    Absolute farce. It won't happen but I dearly hope we tear Carlton a new one on Friday night.

    Insane that Cerra got off and the 17 others didn’t. Some with less dangerous tackles too.

    This season in general has been ****house. Not only has the tribunal and umpiring been poor, but the quality of football and general excitement from watching games has been rock bottom. Can’t remember a less interesting season. Great job AFL.

    I can see it now.

    Tribunal sums up after allowing the appeal, that no reasonable person or footballer, could have foreseen, that a smaller player, dragging a bigger player to the ground, would cause the bigger player to hit his head on the ground twice and that after all, he really didn't mean to do it and he is sorry.

    Told you.

     

     


    I couldn’t care less about our game this week. Friday night against Carlton should be exciting, but this is the least excited I’ve felt for an upcoming match since 2019  when we were bottom four.

    Well probably win against an injured depleted Carlton, but who cares. If we win, big whoop. If we lose, we’re rubbish.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
