Worth rolling the dice at the tribunal - but 1 game seems about right in the current scheme of things of how 2024 being adjudicated.

We could argue low impact since Soligo played on with no ill effects.

A week was expected.
Could be considered lucky to just be the one given his record.  
Needs to get this part of his game right; he’s too valuable to be missing games.

Hi impact, careless, they must have made it moderate as opposed to low contact. Could be argued either way.

Great to see the first player suspended under the Maynard Protocol is a Dee. Thanks AFL.

Van Rooyen copped a fine too. 

Meanwhile van Rooyen has been hit with a fine after the Match Review Officer graded the first-quarter incident involving Adelaide defender Keane as intentional, low-impact, body-contact.

The 20-year-old has been fined $3,750 ($2,500 with an early plea).

Is he at risk of copping a second week or have early pleas been removed?

Roll the dice on the case of medium vs low impact to try and get him to play the Lions. Deserves a week, but Maynard deserved 2 at the very least.

 Let Kozzie stay in SA with his fam now for this week and the bye and then back to work.

No way, he should be training his [censored] off after letting the playing group down again with his mistimed physicality.

I'd like to see it go to the tribunal just to see the AFL try and justify the high impact grading which was ridiculous.

Medium impact. It was the contact that was high (that can’t be argued)

Sick of seeing our own supporters taking shots at Kozzy. Time to back him in. Fingers crossed we make a successful challenge.

For those having a crack at Kozzie you're having a laugh. You're acting like he lined the guy up and ironed him out. We don't want him to lose his aggression, it's part of what makes him such a good player.

The 1 week suspension is garbage (just like Baker last week) but we'll cop it and move on.

Yes of course graded medium which is wasn't, if you're grading that medium I'd like to see what gets graded as low, a kiss on the cheek maybe?

off to the tribunal to argue it was low impact (which is what it was)

If we don't win the appeal at least expose the hipocrisy and corruption of those MRO clowns!! Makes my blood boil just remembering the thug's trial last September. 😡😡😡😡

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to sta

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    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
