He didn’t do that, it was a clash of heads that caused the damage. 

 

It was a regulation hip & shoulder except the guy didn’t see it coming and got ragdolled because he wasn’t ready for contact. 
 

Parker’s evidence was in line with how I saw it, and the tribunal didn’t disagree, but as he’s caused damage he gets a long holiday. That’s fine I guess but apply that interpretation consistently. I seem to remember an incident in the finals last year where causing damage didn’t matter if you didn’t mean to do it, all of a sudden it does again. 

Swans also tried the good guy discount of only 1 suspension in over 200 games but the tribunal noted he’d been fined 9 times so threw that out too. Fines didn’t count when Cameron tipped Lever on his head so who knows what the rule is there. 

Overall he was always going to go, I tipped 4-5, he got 6 so be it but some consistency would be nice. 

Fair enough, didn't realise it was just a clash of heads, saw the raised elbow at the end and presumed that's what's done the damage. Good example of not presuming things off grainy footage.

    Has 1 year left on his contract with Sydney.

    Would you offer him 2+1 contract. Will get him for peanuts.

    Gives us the midfield depth we need. If we can’t get LDU this has to be a legit target if there’s no one else on the market.

    Six weeks for a shepperd?

    What's the world coming to?

    The calamity! The world is ending.

    You can imagine the uproar had Parker done this to, say, Petracca.

    Parker should have been rubbed out for 12 weeks. 
     

    by the way, this post has some savage trolling, chapeau!

    We could play him forward and put Tracc back in the guts. And switch them during the match of course

    Parker CLEARLY RUNS PAST THE BALL 

    not even is dispute 

    then he goes at Smith and applies head contact 

    Intentional 

    Head high

    SEVERE IMPACT 

    6 weeks in my view 

    if that’s in suburban footy when I played, there would be an all in brawl 

    it was a dog act 

    QED.

    I get your point but in this case the VFL tribunal is not made up of the same people as the AFL version.

    It's a seperate organisation.

    So consistency needs to be measured on their past actions.

    Yes, but am I allowed to point out that Cameron had an elder speak as to his character, plus a reference from a player that has acknowledged many years ago falsely accusing his striking victim of a racial slur to justify/excuse striking.

    Actually I retract that and apologise.

    I had read an incorrect report that a misnamed former player had given a reference. That player had some years ago testified that he punched an opponent after racial abuse. He later admitted it was untrue.

    The reference in the Cameron case was from Eddie who is a legend.

    Mea culpa.

    I had no idea that Sydney were challenging the decision. I can’t believe it. Hope they give him an extra couple of weeks.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
