In addition to Moore going to ground in an unusual way (sliding on his knees), the other two things in Kossie's defence are that 1) he tries to soccer the ball off the ground; and 2) he does not look at Moore.

Two other points about this incident.

1. Kossie only took one step after Moore elected to slide (and he was at near top speed so he could not deviate). This meant that impact was inevitable.

2. The ball bobbles back to Moore at the last bounce, which meant that Kossie misses the ball with his kick off the ground attempt.

    I thought the Weideman decision was wrong at the time. 

    Players sliding in like that are leaving themselves open.

    But I don't see why lifting your arm to protect your ribs and shoulder is dirty.

    If you wanted to protect your ribs, you'd keep your arm tucked in wouldn't you?

    I don’t understand how that can even be thought of as a suspension?

    He had eyes on the ball and was trying to soccer it. Moore went to ground and that was the reason his head was hit.

    If that’s a suspension the AFL have lost control of the game

    No because the rib cage goes around your body and is not just on your side. 

    The belief that you are less likely to cause concussions from not bracing is false. If you hit someone in the head at full speed, it doesn’t matter (to the player hit in the head) if you’re arm is straight or parallel to the ground.

    'They had a ton out'? DeGoey and Mihocek. Mitchell is cooked and McStay is bang average.  Who else? We had 5 AA superstars missing,  Windsor,Sparrow and Spargo. That's forgetting about Brayshaw and Smith who weren't able to replace. Sorry, no comparison. 

    DeGoey, Mihocek and McStay (last years final) are precisely the players that have caused us troubles in recent meetings.

    Yeah we had more out, but they weren’t exactly at full strength, and played a number of inexperienced players.

     Not really. 2024 will start with Kozzi on the sidelines just like 2023

    Maybe he will, but to be suspended for going for the ball is a joke. The AFL have lost the plot due to legal actions against them.

    houston was worthy of suspension as he wasn’t going for the ball, this is not.

    He deviates off his line and steps into the bump. He's gone for 3.

    Was disappointed MFC didn’t give Maynard more aggro when he went for Kozzy - Milkshake only one that intervened. Perfect chance to drive him headfirst into the fence went missing!

    Urghhhh he’s in trouble just from the very last action as far as I can see.
     

    Yes Moore ducks at the last second but if you watch the replay, Moore continues at the ball but kozzie pivots direction on his left foot away from the ball and towards Moore and ends up going across him.
     

    If he continued to run in the direction of the ball, he would’ve had a chance to argue it was more of a ‘collision’ rather than a hit to Moore. The argument will be that Kozzie initiated the contact when he had another option, not change direction and instigate contact first.

    Reverse the jumpers and make it a prelim final though and we would not have the same outcome in terms of weeks. Would be ‘nah the Melbourne player dropped his knees, it was his fault’ 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

    ... and don't forget Premiership player Minivan, who will almost certainly be playing finals this year, unlike his ex team mates.  😀

    PS when I re read this post I was going to correct the autocorrect, but ... no, why?   Probably a reasonable alternative spelling.

    Thanks.

     

    You are reminding me once again of one of my big hobby horses.   Players who lead with their heads into a contest need to be penalised every time, to break the habit instead of their neck.

    especially when it is Darcy "Spleenbuster" Moore

    He deviates towards the ball and tries to kick it off the ground and braces after Moore unexpectedly slid into the contest.

    If Moore had have got to the ball earlier and attacked the ball in that manner, Kossie would have got a free kick for taking his legs out.

    We had way more inexperienced players on the park. Pies just about the oldest in the league. One could mount an argument that they were anywhere near affected by injury like us. We had close to 10 first team players out to their 3. Not even close. Because McStay caused us trouble in one game means little. Cox destroyed Richmond in the 2018 prelim. Both he and McStay are average players. DeGoey was indeed a miss. As the late and great Ron Barrasi was oft quoted " there were reasons why we lost, not excuses".

    I think he’ll get 3 unfortunately. He doesn’t deserve 3, he should get off, but  we all know the AFL too well.

    Great opportunity for McAdam to have a really strong pre-season and play his role for the first few weeks.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
