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.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
