well it's off to the appeals board

more publicity for afl and it's media partners

He’ll get off. 
 

I don’t believe in MRO/Tribunal penalties until the player has ‘actually’ missed a game. 
 

AFL only wanted four days of being able to say they are making the game safer. They will fold and accept the overturn on Thurs night, and they won’t appeal the appeal. 
 

it is the way.

Heeney clips Webster's nose grappling in a contest, gets a week but Pendlebury smashed his hand into Neale's stomach with significant force, with intent, and off the ball but just a fine? Can't see the intent by Heeney, careless at most.

 

He’ll 100% get off. it’s the usual circus 

AFL won’t like the Brownlow talk

ZERO doubt he gets off

Heeney needs to go to the “Tom Hawkins School of Accidental Contact.”

Did he plead the "Football Act" defence?

100% agree. 

As sure as night follows day it will be overturned!

Can't believe so many ppl fall for the AFL circus claptrap so often.

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.

Heeny swung his arm with enough force to almost break Websters nose. Intent has been removed from the tribunal system and rightly so because it’s impossible to prove or disprove. All that matters is the outcome. Head high contact in today’s game is unacceptable and he got suspended.

The rulings and laws must change. So that it is the outcome of your acts that are then applied to give penalties. 

no football acts

no good guys 

no history.

no I am sorry. Have some chocolate and booze. 
 

basically, if you do the crime you do the time.   Lawyers will still try and change tribunal rulings. The AFL needs to tighten its playing laws.

full time umpires 

and an unbiased  tribunal review officer would both help

We should start a Get Issac Allan thread.


Should be overturned.  If anyone was reckless it was his opponent.  Scragged him then lowered his face to just behind the hand that he was scrragging with.  Heeney tries to smack his hand away and his face is behind where his scragging hand is.

No case to answer.

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?

You KNOW the answer re Cripps and untouchable man!

Cripps got off on a legal technicality based on the wording of the charge against him - blame the lawyers getting involved ....

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.

Surely the defence should have tried it. “ The good bloke card”


I hope he gets off but again it makes a mockery of the reporting/tribunal process his suspension is overturned.

Tribunal is garbage, aw yeah the AFL want Crippa or Bont or no legs to win!! Of course why didn't I think of that!!

Ban is upheld 

Nice to see the AFL not play favourites with superstars and the Swans for once.

Agree… no way he was ever going to get off with a smack to the face with enough force to gush blood

You mean Daicos? Wasn't it Michael Christian threatening to stand down if Maynard was suspended?

Seem to be the odd one out, but I'm ok with this suspension. Heeney didnt need to swing his arm. 

Fair call, but why wasn’t Pendlebury Suspended earlier 

Don’t get me started on Maynard, the consistency of the Tribunal is non existent 

Guessing Carlton's lawyer represented the AFL? It's all about Naicos or Cripps winning the Brownlow. Not Bont.

 

How is it going with the Toby Greene suspension for the punch to Kemp?

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
