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.

    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.

    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...

    4 minutes ago, whatwhat say what said:

    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.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
