The lesson....

Melb needs better lawyers

There is no level field, no common sense,no adherence to proper procedures..  it's all ad hoc make it up as you go [censored].

Carlton do it regularly... now Lions have found a way... 

That is the lesson.

The game is at a precipice...

No

We need the MRO to have played 132 games for us

And the tribunal chairman to be a dees fan

    Laura Kane on SEN, basically said a legal tackle that won’t draw a free, may later when reviewed by the MRO be a 3 week suspension. When pressed she couldn’t explain it.

    Now you know why the game is in disarray.

    Haven't had the chance to read this thread, but a simple fix (in principle)

    * acidental (legitimate footy act I.e well executed spoil, tackle, smother, etc) results in concussion - suspension is the same time as the concussed, but emain eligible for brownlow.

    * careless (mistimed footy act) - suspension is the time of the concussed plus one week 

    * reckless (unrealistic attempt of a footy act) - suspension is the time of the concussed plus 2-3 weeks

    * intentional (non footy act such as a punch, elbow, headbut, etc) - minimum 5 weeks, but grading should start at 8 and work up/down from that point

    Note some may say it's unfair to lose a week for an accident, as it was legitimate footy act; but it is also unfair on the victim to lose a week - sometimes in footy you can just be unlucky (in this case both players). 

    re *1 - two going for a mark, head clash, one concussed (maybe after medical review), the other not concusses according to protocol but off for 10 minutes due to gash on head - no way should either be suspended.  That is a genuine footy act and accident, unlike setting up someone who has long disposed of the ball and is wide open.

    Agree 100% re points 3 and 4

    Seriously unable to explain that anomaly??!! 😮😡

    Was she also asked to explain how she can remain in office if she can't explain that??  Should have been.

    I must say I haven't followed her career in any way at all until this post, but she appears to have been a completely Incompetent appointment.    Was it DEI??

    I don't think this is right.

    Whether or not something is "likely to cause injury" is not the same as "will cause injury".

    Bedford's tackle is the perfect example - it's not a type of tackle that is likely to cause injury because that type of tackle occurs 100s of times a Round without any injury occurring. 

    Put legalisms to one side. Do you really think Bedford deserved suspension for his tackle?

    Yes I do if the AFL is serious about protecting the head. His tackle was dangerous in that he launched at Taranto dropping his full bodyweight down due to having no contact with the ground. He also had both Tarantos arms pinned. In the new environment that should be a suspension as Taranto ended with a concussion. Great effort by Bedford but he breached his duty of care to Taranto in the way that he tackled and should have been suspended. 3 weeks probably too much but at least 1 week.

    Cameron the same, he drive him backwards he could have held Duggan up in the tackle or turned him sideways. Duggan's head was unprotected and he had both arms pinned with Cameron driving him backwards and so unable to protect himself. Suspension every day of the week.

    Except, the AFL in their infinite and unquestionable wisdom, have enabled Cameron, yet again, to escape sanction.   

    What an absolute rabble.

    So, Maynard elbows Krueger to the head, Krueger will miss next week with concussion, and Maynard will get a fine? Must be amazing being one of the big clubs.

    How does it blow your mind?

    Maynard ended a career before and got off with a premiership medal. 
     

    The devil works hard, but the Collingwood fan club MRO works harder.

    of course christian being an ex-filth player had nothing to do with it 😮

    he should recuse himself when adjudicating any filth player

    i wonder if he threatened to resign this time if afl weren't happy with a fine?

    elbowing a player deliberately in the face/throat should always be a holiday. it's the action of a thug.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      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?
