I will try break this down as best I can.

 

The Dees are arguing this is rough conduct but not a bump.

 

Basically, they argue impact should not have been upgraded based on potential to cause injury because it does not qualify as a bump in their view.

We have spent the last 40 minutes debating whether we allow evidence from a Professor Cole. The Tribunal finds it will not have a meaningful impact on the crux of this case.

 

Effectively, these first 40 minutes have been a prelude.

I assume Anderson got JVR and/or Fritta off as i couldn’t imagine why they’d go back to him otherwise.

 

We have totally PAAAARKEED THIS UP! For caaaryst sake, go for LOW IMPACT!! Sheeeit how are we so bloody dense!!

Kozzy’s bump is medium impact and Toby Greene‘s dangerous tackle on Mac Andrew is absolutely fine? Given the player who Kozzy tackled wasn’t injured and played on, I assume Kozzy’s tackle was deemed medium impact due to the potential to cause injury. Based on this, then surely Greene’s tackle on Mac Andrew also has the potential to cause serious injury and he should have been suspended?

Are you saying that IN EVERY INSTANCE, Any impact to the head is now graded as Medium??? Seriously, the game is turning into Pickelball, or Dueling Crotchet needles, what a FARCE! it also means ANY head contact is now reportable even flicking a mosquito of an opponents brow.

HOW PAARKING AFL!

Hannon (AFL) says a combination of force, body positioning of Pickett at moment of impact and genuine potential to cause injury should see this graded 'medium' impact.

Anderson (Dees) says Pickett decelerates as he jumps for the ball and it is "a much less significant impact as a result."

Anderson (Dees) notes Pickett's fist wasn't clenched at the moment of impact, which is not consistent with a decision to bump.

Lachie Fogarty has in fact appeared at tonight's Tribunal, via vision of Jack Viney's bump on him from the 2023 Semi-Final.

The Tribunal is now deliberating.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
