2024 MRO & Tribunal

Featured Replies

 

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.

waiting for siciy's advocate to claim siciiy was the real victim here

Or that his victim changed direction and ran into his foot...


Becoming so predictable now. Big name player gets suspended. Tribunal hands out get out of jail free card.

But, your honour, kicking is surely a football action. 

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.

Of course not.  

4 matches for Wright? that’s over the top. No malice in that

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...

starts at 4

should be 4-6

worse than peppa-pig, not as bad as webster

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.

wasn’t high. maybe a fine at best

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.

Who does Gleeson barrack for .

Oh no poor brayden might miss a finals

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
