AFL deals up another howler straight up in 2024.
I knew they would but didn't think it'd be so early in the year.
Prepare for more as the season wears on.
Mind boggling MRO decisions and corrupt umpiring/goal reviews are the reasons the game's losing its integrity.

I didn't punch him hard at all........

He kicked another player .

Ok he didn't sink in the proverbial slipper but he had a go.

One week just for the optics of it all.

Another week for the mug on him.

Becoming so predictable now. Big name player gets suspended. Tribunal hands out get out of jail free card.

But, your honour, kicking is surely a football action.

When I played football in the 1950-60 kicking anyone was punished harshly by the tribunal but we seem to have gone woke on etiquette of the game where brutality and disgusting behaviour towards your opponent is ok.

That Preeek should go but wont for 2 weeks for that late hit. If it was an AFL DARLING he would go for 3-4.

4 matches for Wright? that’s over the top. No malice in that

Agree

He was legitimately well positioned (and very almost timed) to take a chest mark, he was running in a straight line at the direction of the ball that was kicked to him as the leading target 

Cunningham was running on a backwards diagonal, which was courageous and a legitimate play but significantly contributed to timing and impact of contact

Both player make decisions in real time. Ump called play on in real time...

4 minutes ago, whatwhat say what said:

starts at 4

should be 4-6

worse than peppa-pig, not as bad as webster

No way is it worse than SPP

Wright, Cunningham and the Ball all arrived at the same time. SPP hit a player who had clean possession of the ball, then got tackled and spun by another Port player, SPP arrived 3rd with a high bump instead of a tackle

Wright clearly recognised that he was not going to be first to the ball, because when it arrived he had already left the ground at speed and braced his shoulder for contact with Cunningham's head. Cunningham was in Wright's direct line of sight, whereas Cunningham could not see Wright coming.

If Wright had done that to Clayton Oliver (or any of our players, for that matter), everyone on Demonland would be calling for a a long suspension.

But the Tribunal has already ruled a hard bump can whiplash the head and cause a concussion. They have suspended previously.

Ask Kozzie about his low impact to Bailey Smiths chest, how he felt about the 2 weeks suspension he got.

are you seriously comparing both bumps as equal? 

if so, best to end the conversation there

I know the MRO triggers you Red from every angle, but Kozzie was extremely lucky he didn’t catch Smith in the head last year.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
