Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Further evidence that the inconsistences of this Basket Case Russian Roulette of a system is a disgrace. NO WAY HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN CONVICTED. I Feel for the young superstar 😇

I agree.

If he was Cripps or Daicos he wins.

Webster went low and Heeney appears to try and push away his arm, as he said in his evidence.

It’s a light blow and he doesn’t deserve to be put out of a Brownlow for a light blow that was never, ever, an offence when the Brownlow was first awarded.

Modern offences should be re classified as to whether they constitute being unfair as per the Brownlow criteria.

What happened to the “ good guy “ defence?

Over his career Heeney has shown himself to be a very fair player.  That in all probability it costs him a Brownlow seems an incredibly high price to pay for what is really incidental contact.  If Webster's nose didn't bleed there was absolutely nothing to see there. I'd be surprised is this was the intended outcome of the rule change. I hope they challenge this and bring in the Carlton lawyers.

I just had a first look at this freeze framing as much as I could.

Webster and Heeny were grappling - a one eyed Swan could even think that Henry should have received a holding off the play free - and it also looked like Webster face planted the ground as he slipped and fell.

Also, where was the Charlie Cameron "never been suspended" rule here?  Was Cameron cleared because of which team his victim played for (severe case of MFCSS here)?  Didn't Heeny  have as good or better record than Cameron who had been I believe charged and fined on multiple priors?

All this just adds to the theory fact that the MRO is absolutely clueless, and seriously compromised (as shown with the fine for chest pushing that unmentionable Collingwood player who then dived far worse than May the previous week).

Read the report of the Tribunal.

” Front on vision shows Webster bending forward lowering his head, the first contact was to Webster’s hand and then the side of Heeney’s hand was deflected to a glancing blow to Webster’s nose”.

That is not a suspension or unfairness that should rule you out of a Brownlow.

This offence didn’t exist when “best and fairest” was coined for the Brownlow.

Would Cripps or Daicos have been found guilty?

But I do think given how easy it is these days to get a 1 week suspension they need to review the brownlow rules. Getting a one week suspension now doesn’t mean you aren’t a ‘fair’ player

Would have thought the AFL Gestapo would have wanted Heeney to be cleared, given the benefits of having a Brownlow medallist in Sydney. 

Like Heeney as a player, feel sorry for him.

Can I also have a bowl of that moral outrage?

He Judo chopped Webster right in the snout.

Actually surprised the AFL’s love child didn't wriggle there way out somehow.

Ahhhh ... surely he can do a Cripps and go for the technicality option.

Or is that only applicable to the Circus's favs (Carlton & the Filth)?

Im glad the Tribunal didn’t fold under the weight of a brownlow chance and an AFL favourite to let him off

Clear week imo

Really classy comparing the afl to the Gestapo.

so are you saying it doesn’t deserve a week or you think the brownlow rules should be changed back?

Webster was holding him back from leading to the contest. Heeney swung his arm back below shoulder level to break the hold. Webster had slipped down hence the high contact. No way Heeney would have known his head was there.

Not a fan of the suspension.

Don't care about the Brownlow. Don't care much about Heeney either.

Wouldn’t be surprised if they still get the medal in Sydney.

Heeney’s pretty unlucky here but unless the backs can spoil like the 90s, stray backhands from forwards won’t be tolerated either. 
i’m still getting my head around Zerk-Thatcher not being suspended for knocking out Naughton, but I can’t be bothered looking for a replay. Good to see there can still be accidents I guess.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    The clever small was unable to cement a place in the Melbourne midfield and spent most of his time this year with the Casey Demons where he finished equal fourth in its best & fairest.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6
