3000 dollars isn't much in the scheme of things.

I get that suspension in the finals is a double whammy but eye gouging is a serious thing.

Hard to determine if intentional but nonetheless he was found guilty.

Greene copped a week for the same thing a while ago.

    Not lucky. He's a key Carlton player.

    No way would he get suspended for a simple misunderstanding. Minnow player  Toby Bedford Aka GWS  got 1 week for rough play.

    No chance a Carlton player gets suspended for rough play. Most of them a sissy bluebaggers anyway.

    Carlton has had so much "luck" at the Tribunal that I think it's fair to say now that "luck" plays no part in these decisions.

    There has been some ridiculous MRP and tribunal decisions this year, but this wasn't one of them.

    Weitering inadvertently glanced Greene's face whilst trying to remove Greene from his headlock on McGovern. Fine was correct decision.

    On the other hand Bedford was stiff. Hope he gets off on appeal.

    No this was probably one of the few decisions they have gotten right this year. How McCartin got off last week was bewildering

    Not bewildering at all. Sydney and Carlton players will get special treatment just like Cripps late last season. Lined up and  belted a lions player causing  heavy concussion and got off.  A Dee would of got 4-6 weeks.

    He didn't gouge the eyes. He made contact to the face and moved his hand away quickly and has copped a 3k fine for the mistake. Slow mo makes it look like it lingers but it does not. Move along.

    What the hell was McGovern doing laying there like a rag doll, trying to get a free, should have grappled Toby’s thumb and given it a twirl he would have soon let go, quite absurd really.!!!

    From the footage it seems like the MRP got this one right enough as far as Weitering's brief incidental contact. Definitely not acceptable but short of a suspension I would have thought.

    Meanwhile...

    Toby Green had a player in an arm lock by the throat and was using that lock to drag and twist the player around after play had clearly stopped.

    So for me the real story here is the verification that the 'Toby Greene good guy transformation' is a full whitewash.

    Malicious, intentional, drew blood, high contact, low act: 3 weeks.

    Malicious, intentional, drew blood, high contact, low act, Carlton player: Small fine.

    On OTC they checked and the first offence by Green was a fine, a week later he did it again and then got suspended. So this fits that same approach.

    Weitering was lucky that the fingernail that broke the skin on Toby's eyebrow didn't dig into his cornea , which could have caused longterm consequences. Most taclklers seem to avoid the eye, but  not Weiering ( or  that viscious recidivist  Judd.)

    He put his fingers deliberately in Greenes eyes and got away with it, it’s a low act and he’s extremely lucky. While Bedford’s tackle causes no injury and he misses a final. Great system.

    Weitering is a big teddy bear. He even sooked it up when he ran into the fence and the Giants supporter stuck his arms up to stop clashing with him. Big sook.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
