Didn’t knock him out, surprisingly broke his nose but appeared unintentional contact. Probably should have got the same as Heeney - both off or both one week.

    My bad. I thought he was subbed out after failing the HIA?

    Yes he was diagnosed with concussion and will miss 12 days/2 games as mandatory precaution. Don’t think he lost consciousness though.

    What gets me is the inconsistency. 

    Hogan gets off

    Pendlebury gets off

    That bloke from Collingwood gets off.

    And this gets a week?

    1. Let’s not forget a similar action fractured Mays cheekbone and he didn’t plant for a couple of weeks.

    2. This get ms a week and I hate to bring it up again, but Maynard get zilch. [censored] how putrid is this game becoming. It’s a freaking laughing stock.

    Also, where was the Charlie Cameron "never been suspended" rule here?

    This is my entire issue with how ridiculous that decision was. Heeney is a more important player, with a cleaner record than Cameron, but he doesn’t get the rule applied to him?

    It hasn’t been applied since, and probably never will again. What an absolute joke.

    Whilst I don't think it deserves a week, I am happy as it makes the Bont one step closer to winning the Brownlow and I dropped money on that pre season 🤣

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

    Both but definitely the latter.

    The front on video shows it was accidental light head contact, after a deflection from Webster’s hand.

    You can bet if he'd gotten off there would be just as many on here bemoaning the fact.

    Your point? That people do disagree?  

    Personally, I haven't made up my mind (probably because I can't be bothered - there are plenty of other MRO decisions which are so blatantly wrong/biased that I don't have the energy to engage with this one).

    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 😇

    SHOCKING 🤮

    It's not very often I agree with you PF but 100% on this one. The inconsistency is breathtaking.

    Zac Butters and Toby Greene are both repeat offenders for whacking opponents in the stomach but that's ok as long as nobody gets hurt. Just fine them. It won't happen but I'd love one of these two to finish second in the Brownlow behind Heeney and therefore win it. Fairest and Best?

    Surely the AFL conspiracy theory narrative has him getting off - Brownlow to a northern state team, or at a minimum a gripping night at the Brownlow.

    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

    Who should i back now DD?

    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.

    If a bloke is tagging and scragging then he leaves himself open to getting wacked especially when his head position changed. (again a Brayshaw issue vs West Coast where there was some doubt about "shifting targets"

    Gus wasn't tagging anyone and did not get protected.

    He said sorry, and he is a good bloke, what more,  The vision of Blood coming from the other guys nose well, he was a wimp, should have got up and kept playing   clearly only a love tap,

    Webster did slip and faceplant into the turf unrelated to any impact. 

    100% certain were the “assailant” named Daicos (or Cripps) there would be “benefit of the doubt” nothing to see here.

    Christian used to appear on TV with his deadpan stare justifying either the charge or the exoneration - does he still do this?  Every time I saw him I thought he just looked as thick as ……

    Really classy comparing the afl to the Gestapo.

    What would you prefer, without getting 'political', as a comparison?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
