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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
