My message to Ben is instigate but never retaliate. If you are going to retailate, wait!

Umpires and cameras always pick up the fallout of any incident so Ben will have to cop it. I still haven't seen footage so would be interested to know if this was the result of a wrestle?

I also believe this took place in the goal square which makes you wonder what the goal umpy was doing. In the days before video they had to make reports on incidents. If Johnson did head butt you would assume it was clearly visible?

You'd say Holland will get about 5 weeks for this one, going by the Jeff Farmer incident.

I'm actually not to fussed on this one, it could've been a much worse (as in better MFC) player to front.

it wouldn t be such a bad think , save us the problem of having to consider him for selection for the next 5 weeks

Holland won't get 5 weeks. He has a good record, so maybe 2-3 at the most.

I hope we challenge the outcome, regardless of what it is. He isn't a key play-maker, so we have nothing to lose if he doesn't get the sentence reduced.

I want to know whether West is going to be reprimanded for what he did to Godders behind play.

Ben Holland, Melbourne, has been charged with misconduct in that he made unnecessary and unreasonable contact to the face of Brad Johnson, Western Bulldogs, during the third quarter of the Round Seven match between Melbourne and the Western Bulldogs, played at Telstra Dome on Sunday May 13, 2007.

The incident was assessed as negligent conduct (one point), low impact (one point) and high contact (two points). The Match Review Panel referred the incident directly to the Tribunal for its determination as there is no set demerit points attributed to the offence. He has no applicable good or bad record.

Scott West does not have a case to answer to.....

Of course he doesn't.

What a friggin joke!

Godfrey is not the sort of player who goes down like a sack of potatoes, yet he was lying on the ground for a good minute while West ran as far away as possible. :angry: :angry: :angry:

I'm not saying he should be suspended for it, but at least a reprimand to let others know that smacking your tagger behind play is just not on!

I think the statement from the AFL umpires last week that ball players get preferential treatment probably extends to reporting. There seems to be no will by the AFL to charge these players and I remember a couple of incidents from seasons past that were just ignored, one a punch by Crawford on Godders and another by Judd on a Hawthorn player (I think) and Kerrs' punch to the jatz crackers of Mitchell.

No doubt the Taggers are doing their thing behind play as well but they need to be far more inconspicuous.

i saw the ben holland incident and while he didnt mean to eye gouge, he did so he has to go. it looks bad and its not something that should happen in the game.

RE the west incident, thats a joke. mclaren watched it happen. godfrey played west tight all day but he didnt hold or scrag him, he just played in front and tackled him as soon as he grabbed it. that was soft and cheap by west to hit someone behind the play, and ive lost an amazing amount of respect for him. west was beaten by a better player on the day, couldnt hurt us with the football and instead took a cheap and nasty shot off the ball.

i thought the afl insisted that a camera at each end of the ground captured the whole ground so that all incidents were caught on video?

Calm down Jaded, you are forgetting how hot it was on Sunday. Godfrey fainted. West was jogging away from him to get him a glass of water.

Also on the Dutchy case his defence is either the blood dripping into his eyes from the head butt he didn't get from Johnson disoriented him, ( he couldn't see what he was grabbing ), or the disgusting sledge he got from Johnson. We know that gets you off.

No I saw it Godfrey got cleaned up by a seagull, Kevin Sheedy will back me up on that the seagulls are tough at the dome. Some players ar just untouchable West and Johnson are two of them unless they do something in the main camera shot they won't get done. They aFL need the Dogs to play a role in the finals this year.

cant take a trick this year, and after the goodes case it thought harris might be investigated for elbowing holland in the back, it made a great sound and was surprised the goal umpire who it happend right in front of ( 1 meter at most) would have reported him

What a joke, I don't care if he's one of our players, eye gouging is so dirty and he should have at least got 3 weeks...

Firstly, he didn't eye gouge anyone. He wasn't even up on an eye-gouging charge. He was up on rough conduct, and making unnecessary contact with Johnson's face.

Secondly, Dutchy was bleeding at the time, so it was hardly an unprovoked attack. I wonder why Brad Johnson didn't even get charged, when Holland needed to be stitched up.

Also, since when has Dutchy ever been a dirty player?

You can't possibly compare the incident to the unprovoked attack by Farmer, who also has a terrible record.

Just say thank you that finally something has gone our way.

My defence worked. He got off because he said he couldn't see properly because of the blood dripping into his eyes.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
