So you are now not allowed to leave the ground to attempt to smother a handball or kick ? Wtf  this getting ridiculous 

Depends on the club and what the media decides

 

Played golf with Adrian Anderson a few years back just after the tanking debacle,

He hates Melbourne.

Why TF we use him is beyond me.

Rivers tackles Butters at full pace. Butters falls and shoulder hits the ground first. Dangerous tackle. MRO. Rivers fined $3759

 

Greene sling tackles Andrew. Andrew falls and his head hits the ground. MRO. Nothing to see here. 🤢🤢🤢🤢

Okay

who replaces Kozzie

Woey Jnr. and bring in Tomlinson as the sub


Wasn't it Adrian Anderson who was arguing against us all those years ago for the Trengove sling on Dangerfield?

He gets us both ways  😭

I can’t believe Greene was found innocent 

Mac Andrews was slung to the ground and his head bounced off the turf….

WTF

I look forward to all the reasonings next time around when it’s one of the afl’s favourites they need to get out of a minor bump.. 

Sounds like a pretty average performance from Anderson but the lawyering up front is only part of the process, other key pieces include “how will this make the AFL look in the media?” and “how will this affect the class action lawsuits down the track?” 


This HAS to be the standard now.
I always thought it unlikely he'd get off but was bemused as anyone about Fogerty's collision with Fyfe being graded the same as Kozzie's.
If your feet leave the ground and you hit someone in the head then you'll be suspended. Clearly Maynard would have got multiple weeks under the new rules. 

 

The way Kozzie was portrayed in the media compared to Maynard last year is what has made me furious about this. 
All we could hear was how courageous Maynard is and how his impact was a footy incident… Kozzie cops sniper comments, and destined for weeks comments.
 

If this is the decision made by the AFL then get rid of the low grading on impact regarding head high contact. It’s not going to get any lower than Kozzie’s 

The AFL make it up as they go! Totally laughable!, That piece of excrement from Filth makes my blood boil, AGAIN,  cheeezus Im am totally and thoroughly Peeeeezzed! OF 

Time for RAGS to debut!! 

Gee this MRP and tribunal is the thing of Fantasy! Land. Just watch interpretation and reinterpretation get a fair airing,particulalrly if you are Ferals, Carltank, or Jeelong! STINKS!

Never.  If you don’t argue you get walked over all the time, not a waste if it helps next time

AGREE, TOTAL FARCE!!

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
