AFL deals up another howler straight up in 2024.
I knew they would but didn't think it'd be so early in the year.
Prepare for more as the season wears on.
Mind boggling MRO decisions and corrupt umpiring/goal reviews are the reasons the game's losing its integrity.

    I didn't punch him hard at all........

    He kicked another player .

    Ok he didn't sink in the proverbial slipper but he had a go.

    One week just for the optics of it all.

    Another week for the mug on him.

    Kicking. Yeah but but but it’s a star player and yeah but but but it’s a soft one …free to play. ITS A JOKE. Imv it’s still a dog act.  It was worth one week.

    I swear it is a criteria of the tribunal to determine who they're playing next.  "Who's the opposition next round?"  "Melbourne." "Oh, let's clear him then."

    When I played football in the 1950-60 kicking anyone was punished harshly by the tribunal but we seem to have gone woke on etiquette of the game where brutality and disgusting behaviour towards your opponent is ok.

    That Preeek should go but wont for 2 weeks for that late hit. If it was an AFL DARLING he would go for 3-4.

    Agree

    He was legitimately well positioned (and very almost timed) to take a chest mark, he was running in a straight line at the direction of the ball that was kicked to him as the leading target 

    Cunningham was running on a backwards diagonal, which was courageous and a legitimate play but significantly contributed to timing and impact of contact

    Both player make decisions in real time. Ump called play on in real time...

    No way is it worse than SPP

    Wright, Cunningham and the Ball all arrived at the same time. SPP hit a player who had clean possession of the ball, then got tackled and spun by another Port player, SPP arrived 3rd with a high bump instead of a tackle

    Wright clearly recognised that he was not going to be first to the ball, because when it arrived he had already left the ground at speed and braced his shoulder for contact with Cunningham's head. Cunningham was in Wright's direct line of sight, whereas Cunningham could not see Wright coming.

    If Wright had done that to Clayton Oliver (or any of our players, for that matter), everyone on Demonland would be calling for a a long suspension.

    But the Tribunal has already ruled a hard bump can whiplash the head and cause a concussion. They have suspended previously.

    Ask Kozzie about his low impact to Bailey Smiths chest, how he felt about the 2 weeks suspension he got.

    are you seriously comparing both bumps as equal? 

    if so, best to end the conversation there

    I know the MRO triggers you Red from every angle, but Kozzie was extremely lucky he didn’t catch Smith in the head last year.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
