No good bloke defense for Marlon Pickett this week. He's a certified piece of [censored].

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 )

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
