I've heard MFC's interest has simmered due to his tribunal cultural issues 

Yes MFC should come out and say this behaviour doesn’t sit well with “our culture” 😀

    I know all of the arguments, I just don't agree that torso bumps that result in an unforeseen concussion should be penalised.

    I accept I hold a minority view.

    I know what you mean but the boundaries have shifted. 
    It’s the same as saying about a sling, tackle, ”I didn’t tackle him high. He hit his head on the ground.”

    These days that sort of contact causing a concussion just cannot be classified as unforeseen.

    A bit of Byron Pickett in that one

    Straight to the tribunal, but it has been deemed as careless rather than intentional.

    The horse has probably bolted on this one, but what an addition he could've been to our club.

    60 meter spear passes from half back, or threading the needle with inside 50 targets. Exactly the attributes we're crying out for.

    I don't think the horse has bolted but could be wrong.

    Funny, when Melbourne where the set destination, it was 2 first round picks based on Cal's Gettable podcast. Now that we are out of the picture and the Blues maybe a destination, its just 1 first round pick @ 12.

    I wouldn't completely rule this out yet.

    Bit of water to flow under the bridge before trade period.

    I’ve seen the clip a couple times and it just looks like a really good hard bump with no head high contact (there might have been but I can’t see any).

    Yeah I can’t make up my mind on the incident. I like Houston, just saw he copped 5 weeks.

    Yeah I’m the same. A concussed player and ‘duty of care’ guarantees he’s gone even though it’s just looks to be a well executed hard bump.
     

    Oh wow, I thought they would have given him 4 so there’s a chance he could make the Granny. Maybe that will be the case after the appeal.

    5 weeks is pretty standard for that type of action. There was no need to bump, he chose to and the player was knocked out.

    5 weeks for Houston.

    0 weeks for Maynard.

    I see what they did there.

    Ahhhh it was graded as high contact so looks like he did make contact with the head.

    This year is very different to the past 19 before it. Webster got 7 or 8 for his bump.

    Sam Powell Pepper got 4 earlier in the year and his wasn’t as bad as this one.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day and the Demons have made the long trip west to take on Fremantle tonight at Optus Stadium. Can Melbourne make it two from two to start the season, and what are you hoping to see from the Dees under the lights in Perth?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.
