Ha - no myth.  The first time I played in a serious basketball team I crashed the pack and was sent off.  Never played again.

Sue I took the best spekky ever in a basketball match, not paid and sent off! I prefer footy 😄

Yes he was, but he didn’t and got 2 weeks. That’s the very point. They are just so inconsistent. The MRO and Tribunal said Maynard did nothing wrong. He knocked an opponent out cold, ended a

Indeed. But the real issue is whether it was a smother or pressure is immaterial. He should have got weeks because he chose to turn and bump - and flushed Gus with his shoulder. Text bo

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.

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

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.

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 )

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
