if hodge, headland and burgoyne all get off before playing us, and goodes and west get nothing after playing us, no way he'll go. his defense could just be shock at seeing bruce with his head over the ball

I feel sorry for Kerr because he'll probably get a week or two for it. After watching the reply it was a little reckless but there wasn't much malicious intent and he made sure Bruce was ok immediately afterwards.

Having said that if it was Pickett or Moloney then everyone would be screaming for his blood.

It was sloppy and careless, and the AFL have shown no mercy for this kind of thing before. He'll get at least a week, I imagine; not intentional but definitely reckless.

He immediately knew he'd cocked up after he did it, which is why he made sure Bruce was okay afterwards.

I'm with Nasher......

It was definitely sloppy but not intentional, but if the AFL is true to their word (and try not to laugh at my attempted sincerity in saying that) about penalising those making high contact to those with their heads over the ball then he should get at least a week.

That being said, who the hell really knows these days ;) ?!!!

It could also be interesting to see what happens to Brett Kirk.......

He will more than likely be looked at for seemingly running into Chad Cornes front on as they were both going for the ball in the Swans win yesterday over Port.

I wouldn't feel sorry for Kerr at all. He knew he was in strife the moment that impact was inevitable and attempted to make light of the situation. Didn't he make sure that Mitchell was "OK" too after whacking him in the orchestral-stalls? Although there is no denying he can play footy he's proved time and time again that he's a first-order worm.

What is his tribunal record like over all?

I think he's been suspended twice, plus a trip to the clink.

Cheers BBP :) !!!

are you talking about a head high contact, or a bowel movement? lol

It's not something I'd fancy anywhere the face or head. Sounds very enteric.

he better go. the afl have said that this is no go, you cannot ump a player who had his head over the ball.

personally however i dont think it was as bad as some other incidents. he didnt try and clean him up, i think he wanted to make body contact to contest the footy. it looked like he tried to twist out of the way a bit, and propped a little so that he didnt run right through him. it was more of a hip to the shoulder than the head...

personally i think this example should get a couple of weeks tops. if the afl have any resolve or balls it should be 4-8 weeks based on how they have treated pickett and others...

i dont understand why they need a special rule about bumps to the head. it was already covered by the rules: you can hip and shoulder a player to the side or front, as long as its not to their back, and as long as no contact is made to the head. he got the head so he'll go for a week or too, but it wasnt the worst ive seen.

I am particularly interested in this as I am sick and tired of seeing the Eagles getting treated too well by the AFL.

He is a great player but deliberately hit Bruce in the head over the ball, something the AFL have been very clear for players to avoid.

He should go and get 3-4 weeks IMO.

He has been up before and was it last year, avoided a certain penalty for smashing Mitchell in the family jewells.

Who knows what the AFL will do, maybe they will provide him with $50,000 worth of counselling over the publicity of the incident.

AFL, stop standing around like a WWF referee as Jake the snake Roberts puts a live snake in his opponents trunks, and pretend you see nothing and start going hard on this crew.

They say they will be hard on reckless head high collisions - well make a stand FFS.

don't forget Miller gave Hansen I think it was a little slap in the game last year, that grandma would laugh at, and he got TWO weeks for it.

Give these pr1cks nothing. No injuries and golden run from the AFL, I wanna see them get hit and have things a little tougher.

He'll go for atleast 1. What made it funny though was that he knew he did wrong as soon as he did it, and checked to see if Bruce was ok. He knew he was screwed. It was a pretty light tap and Bruce acted it out, but Kerr still checked cause he knew he was gone.

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
