    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 )

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
