Needs to learn, that’s a fair whack, still only a cameo player, but a good one.

    FFS it’s graded medium under the potential to cause injury factor.

    Once you leave the ground this is what you leave yourself open to

    Complain all you want but it’s the new rules rewritten after Maynard successfully challenged the ban he was given last season 

    So we get F@#ked over twice by Maynard? 
     

    i seriously have rage for that TWIT

    Soligo got interviewed:

    “I didn't think there was too much (in it)," Soligo said.

    "I kept playing through the game so I was fine. I was all sweet."

    As Hawthorn did with the Sicily charge, I think we should definitely challenge the grading. The only thing I’m not sure about is the “potential to cause injury” weighting which might be in play here.

    What actually is potential to cause injury that's just a clause so they can  interpret something anyway they want

    What about Pendlebury? No bias or "corruption" there?

    None at all. He got off because the system us broken. Intentional punches get a fine if they’re los impact. That’s moronic. 

    The “potential to cause injury” thing is being used to upgrade impact levels for head high contact. The AFL is hyper vigilant on head high contact, less so on gut punches.

    I’m in the low impact school of thought, but would love the club to challenge this regardless of opinions. 
     

    I would like the club to challenge the AFL. We tend to bend over too much

    Garbage! need to appeal and go for LOW Impact fine and free to play next week!

    The media control this so much. Half time tonight Kozzi was mentioned he had 3 in 26. no mention of appeal

    When it was Pendelbury’s punch it was all about the appeal

    Kozzi sprints around all game putting fear into the opposition and manic pressure on every time. He will occasionally slip high while attempting a spoil etc.

    He is THE ultimate team player. 

    I'm with you @DubDee

    I don't understand the continual bagging of Koz.

    He made a mistake with Bailey Smith and has since adjusted his play.

    The bump in the final last year was nothing. He shouldn't have got a week and the same again now.

    Dead set, if we had more players that go as hard and as desperate as Kozzie does to chase and smother, it would be fantastic.

    His chasing and closing speed is amazing. You can't make a last minute, desperate tackle or smother without leaving the ground.

    You don't want to remove that desperation from his game or see it disappear from our game.

    He put his arms up to spoil and then did his best to get his arms down before contact.

    This was low impact. If he gets a week for potential to cause harm then logic has it that most aerial contests can have the same potential.

    The circus continues.

    How does a bloke that threatens to resign if he has to cite Maynard still have his job?

    Oh yeah, mates.

    He won't get off but at least we should be supporting one of our hardest working players.

    Exactly. It’s a nebulous concept that not only vests too much discretion in the MRO (sometimes it’s applied, sometimes it’s not) but requires the MRO to make an assessment it’s not qualified to give.

    What qualifications does the MRO have to assess whether an incident has more or less potential to cause injury? I’m pretty sure the MRO doesn’t have biomechanics expertise to make a proper assessment.

    It’s simply a way for the AFL medical/legal team to ensure they get the result they want to protect themselves in potential future litigation.

    FWIW, I don’t have a problem with Picket getting a week. I just don’t like this “potential to cause injury” and its indiscriminate application. That impact was simply not medium, it was clearly low. I’d rather they just say we are punishing the action instead of this contrived grading of medium impact based on potential.

    Potential to cause injury 😂 

    Is that anything like jumping with your knees into someone? I wonder 💭 

    Nobody is getting injured from a glancing blow which was all this was - ridiculous imo

    Appeal. First witness is the AFL doctor.

    Question: why did you deem the head high contact so minimal as to allow the player to continue the game without any further assessment?

    Game. Over.

    This is true, but on the other hand he is actually letting the team down with silly and needless actions that mean he will now have missed two games out of six this season. Given that he adds an irreplaceable X-factor to our attack, Goodwin needs to have a serious chat with him.

    It was a marginal call whether to grade the impact as low or medium, but I doubt if there is enough mitigating evidence to take it to the tribunal. I hope I'm wrong.

    careless conduct with high contact and a medium impact, which has triggered a one-match suspension
     

    IT WAS NOT MEDIUM IMPACT 

    Soligo got straight up and played out the game with no issue.  Repeat no issue. 
     

    CHALLENGE.  Show some support for Kozzy and challenge this one.

    No we don’t if this was in place last year Kossie would have got 6 weeks for his jump at Bailey Smith

    Seriously, that’s brilliant! How can you possibly call something medium impact when the player wasn’t ever assessed or taken from the field? Especially when the AFL doctor seeing the vision thought it was minimal enough to not even bring him off.
    That should be enough on its own.

    But let’s get a biomechanics expert, compare the last ten other medium impact incidents to this one and send Kozzie to Soligo’s Mum’s place with some flowers just to be sure.

    Absolutely correct. Medium impact ???? How.  It wasn’t even assessed.  Get the Crows doctor to testify. THE DOC has to say  “No real impact. He was fine. Hardly even any contact “.  Kozzy goes free.  Come on Dees. It’s not a time to bend over and accept this [censored] from the MRO.

    I appreciate wanting to challenge the MRO but at this stage the only possible action will be busting him out by baking a him cake with a file in it.

    Presumably any offence that is punishable by suspension has the potential to cause injury, that’s why it warrants such a heavy penalty.

    The concept of using “potential to cause injury” to alter the level of “impact” of the charge has more holes than Swiss cheese. The case could fail at the corrupt MRO, but I reckon the chance at appeal is decent.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
