    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 )

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
