holland has been referred to the tribunal to rough conduct, unnecessarily making conduct with johnsons face, but unbelievably johnson has got off. AFL saying there was not enough evidence or footage of the incident!!

We cop it again it looks like!!!!!

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.

I believe that's he's been investigated for that as well, not sure of the outcome though.

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

when you're hot you're hot.........

but honestly, this goes beyound luck. maybe the football gods want us to come from last to win the flag the next year, in our 150th year!

walked free with reprimand

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.

thankyou :-)

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

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
