If he gets off it will be daylight robbery.

MRO and Tribunal are so inconsistent that its almost corrupt.

So if Pendles gets a fine for EXACTLY the same thing, then I'm afraid Pickett does too.

But its the AFL, and Pickett isn't a BIG name, so don't be surprised if he gets a week cause of the 'NO NAME' factor.

Agree, but he will still get a fine.

A  $6250 fine reduced to $3750 with the early plea for the strike.

something is very cooked when you can punch someone off the ball (no matter how hard) and only get a fine.

Somewhere I recall there have been suggestions that the MRO and tribunal are corrupt incompetent institutions.  There has certainly nothin happen this week to suggest otherwise.

Correct.

All intentional strikes should be a minimum week.

It is as disgraceful an aspect to the MRO box-ticking system as there is.

Fines are a crock anyway.

Mean nothing to these guys.

Who knows who actually pays them anyway.

Higgins should have just punched aliir in the guts

Would have saved him 3 weeks suspension.

I remember one time at the MCG, I think it was 1989, when Grinter squarely laid a punch in the guts of a Richmond player and got 7 weeks for his efforts (he had some suspended penalties on him).  If he played today he'd be the most heavily fined player in the AFL.

Higgins 3 weeks?! No sling just brought him to ground. Held his arm so maybe a week. Allir is twice the size of Higgins, too

WTF is happening at the MRO

glad they are challenging

Two weeks ago Lever is in the wrong for flopping his head and Cameron gets off because he’s a good bloke. 
Higgins does the same thing, Aliir unfortunately is knocked out and he cops 3. Madness. 
 

Both actions deserve one week.

That question Dub, is the AFL equivalent of "What is the meaning of life" ?

( Or any other unanswerable conundrum that comes to mind )

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
