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.

    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.

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
