    Well that has opened a can of worms. Anyone can take out an opposing player in the guise of smothering the ball🤬

    In the guise of a football act.

    JVR gets a week and disgraceful tribunal lets Maynard off. Tells you all you need to know about the thugs  running the AFL, not to mention their goons and cheer squad in the media. Bring on class actions and get these glass box execs into a courtroom where they can  defend their  "footy actions" in a public forum.

    I'm glad I moved to Byron Bay where no one gives a [censored] about AFL and I can forget about football for a while. 

    Oh that reminds me of Uncle Byron Pickett. And I thought we had moved on but we haven’t.

    Melbourne player suspended.

    Collingwood?  No worries.

    100% corruption in all major sports around the world but for different reasons.

    We all new this was the likely outcome.

    The media will back the AFL 100%.

    Theyre all corporate people .

    This marathon tribunal will be forgotten very quickly.

    Finals start again in 4 days.

    Brace for impact.

    I’m the same (and nearby, just past Bangalow en route to Lismore). There’s a few of us Dees around.

    This makes familial relations hard given in laws are all Pies as is wife

     I’m done with this sport. So disheartening. Emailing Pert.

    How about we give the AFL and every other team the old FU and win the next 3!!!

    Really starting to question whether I can be bothered following this competition any more. So disillusioned with the double standards to the point of corruption where the power brokers in the AFL manipulate everything from the draw to the tribunal outcomes to maximise profits. This is a prime example.

    Feel sorry for the 12,000+ schoolkids who will get poleaxed next season 

    I just cant fathom this.

    Weve been beaten up on again by a bunch of thugs and fully sanctioned by the AFL including several other incidents in that game.

    Incompetent or else they were drawing out all their arguments against which to appeal 

    What would Occam say?

    It was a stunningly poor prosecution.  Gleeson is often like a ferret after a rabbit ... but not tonight.  Soft as butter

    If you were trying to lose you couldn't have done a better job of it

    They should appeal but judging by tonight's effort, is that going to happen?

    Extremely skewed, nothing about the optics, or the spirit of the game.

    Suspect we'll see some rule changes next season.

     

    For me this was the point of the joint referral by Kane and Christiansen. Under the current rules a player does not owe a duty of care to another player, which was tested in the Van Rooyen / Ballard report. I think the AFL knew the report would not be upheld but needed to put it through the process and will change the rules going into next season.

    Glad that [censored] show is over.

    Can now totally focus on Friday night and hope like hell we win!

    ZERO respect for the AFL now. They were losing all credibility before this but this is last straw for me. No integrity whatsoever. Players welfare, integrity of the comp matters zero to them. As long as the media and cash machine keeps chugging along. Go and get stuffed

    [censored] off Howe. You feel sorry for that thug??? Oh my god. You’re a bigger piece of [censored] than I thought you were. How about feeling sorry for Gus? What a despicable person you are. 

    Howe is a scumbag, shown his colours since joining the filth

    It’s done. Laws will be changed in the off season to ensure this act is penalised going forward.

    I disagree with the verdict but we need to move on. The team have a huge game and can’t afford to dwell on this.

    I really hope Gus is ok. My thoughts are with him.

    And I hope Maynard gets his comeuppance someday. Can't stand the bloke.

    I've never been this flat about footy before. It's all just so unjust. 

    How can the bad guys keep getting away with it all.

    May as well have brought JVR to the tribunal seeing the tribunal will be throwing cases out like hard rubbish.

    Nothing surer than Martin being free to play.

    Your right, it's pardons a plenty.

    I'm am piss3d off. Imagine how Gus's family and mates and he feels.

    Sounds like Carlton are just trying to get Martin's strike downgraded from 2 weeks to 1 so will definitely miss our game.

    The fact that the AFL themselves (Gleeson) instructed the tribunal to consider the fact that Maynard may miss finals/important games says all you need to know about the whole case.

    Are you fair dinkum? Did he say that?

    However frustrated you and I feel, wishing physical harm on a player is not called for. 
     

    Reverse the roles an imagine what you would say if other teams wished harm on one of our players. 

    They did. They cheered and chanted at him whilst being carried off. 
    I know where you’re coming from but the outcome isn’t just.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
