Next time Moore drops to his knees just keep running. Over the top of him if necessary. Just keep hunting the ball.

    I cannot believe we used the language that Moore 'dropped to his knees' rather than 'slid into the contest'. The latter would have provided a clear argument that sliding is not a reasonable action and therefore not something Kossie would have reasonably expected. There is no point appealing this now as we cannot make this argument on appeal.

    Does anyone know whether Anderson was the lawyer we used for JVR's appeal?

    Finally in the off season we should train to slide into ground ball contests and use our knees in aerial contests against the filth.

    It’s just infuriating.
     

    Blind Freddy can see the outcomes in advance, we are paying good money to have our representatives set up our players to fail. Why oh why is Zita advising that Angry Anderson references ‘bumps’ rather than making a strong point about a ‘contest for a ball’, and unless somebody tells me otherwise I have to feel that there wasn’t even any discussion about how the sliding action undertaken by Moore impacted Kozzie’s legs in an illegal manner and actively caused the contact. At the start when the discussion was about how Koz got low at the contest it looked like for once we were going to focus on something that had a chance, but it went nowhere. Again. 

    I would also bet that no discussion was made about at which point the AFL assumed that be needed to apply his additional duty of care when Moore illegally slid into him, and exactly how long he had to respond, and how there was not even time for him to react because he was TRYING TO WIN A CONTEST AND NOT TO BUMP 

    once again, Melbourne loses out, we will have all the imbeciles on Twitter calling him a sniper and dirty and a dog and all the names their pea brains can think of, when he honesty did nothing that would not be expected of every single player in the league by contesting that loose ball. 

    almost guaranteed some keyboard warrior is going to fire off a racial slur on twitter at him again any minute now, and we will have to cross that bridge again.

    Aaaaaaargh. 
     

    seriously over it. I’m both angry and disappointed

    Same, only reason I go to games anymore is the fact I meet up with my parents and sister and take my kids so it's a family thing. I've stopped caring as much as I used to and only frequent this forum and some demon podcasts.the while AFL machine makes me angry across so many levels

    I have said it before, but imo this Chairman makes it up. This is what he said tonight.

    AFL Tribunal chair Jeff Gleeson KC said that the tribunal did not believe he was contesting the ball and it was “unreasonable” for him to bump given Moore could have lowered his body and been in danger.

    What he in fact is saying is that you can never bump, or if you take it to its logical conclusion, or for that matter do anything on a football field, as the other player might lower his body, or do something, that leads to him being hurt/concussed and you are therefore guilty of an offence, as it is unreasonable of you not to know that the other player might do something that turns your legal act into a suspension.

     That is BS.

    That is not the bloody rule and it never has been. Where does it say in the rules, that if the victim does something at the last second, that causes a legal act to result in an injury, that it is then an illegal act.

    I am sick to death of this blokes' rulings.

    Contrast it with what he said when a Pies player is up on knocking out a player.

    But the AFL tribunal panel of Jeff Gleeson, Scott Stevens and Darren Gaspar found Maynard's actions were "reasonable" in the circumstances. "He committed to the act of smothering when he was ... several metres from Brayshaw," Gleeson said in his findings. "We are not at all satisfied that a reasonable player would have foreseen that violent impact, or impact of the type suffered by Brayshaw, was inevitable or even likely."

    The MRO Officer a former Pies player didn't even want to charge Maynard in the first place.

    The AFL revealed later on Wednesday that it won't appeal the decision, despite initially overruling match review officer Michael Christian. AFL bosses sent Maynard directly to the tribunal, despite Christian not wanting to charge him in the first place.

    Collingwood MRO officer and Collingwood supporter presiding over cases involving Pies players, is an absolute disgrace.

    APPEAL.

    Would love to know the number of times Gleeson was able to use his power to get Collingwood players out of suspensions or shorten the length of suspensions. Its no coincidence that this incident was against his precious Pies.

    Obviously the Maynard one is the perfect example. I remember him getting Cox out of a one week ban for taking out Grimes 30m off the ball back in 2019.

    But there must be more...

    The bump was completely fine. until Moore was on his knees

    Kozzi gives 100% each week and to call him out for his aggression is poor form. We need it

    Exactly.

    If it took three hours to deliberate, it was obviously borderline.

    If Anderson had just put forward a half decent argument, he'd probably be free to play. 

    Why use the word "bump". He was contesting the ball and only had eyes for it.

    Moore didn't drop to his knees, he illegally slid in.

    Koz is now in our top 4 players and we'll be handicapped at the gates now for the start of the season.

    I really feel for the guy.

    I think we should all drop a quick line to the club. Get someone better to argue the case

    This may sound ridiculous and over the top but... Can we take these corrupt/inept MRO clowns to the TAS?

    Let a third party with no bias and international exposure deal with these Muppets.

    Yet the Bulldogs are looked after and LiamJones is available for a final a week after another player was rubbed out for the exact same action.

     

  • Quote

    even if the Tribunal finds he was contesting the ball “it was not reasonable to elect to bump at any stage”.

     

    This doesn't make sence. You can't ever elect to protect your space under any circumstances, while contesting the ball?  Rubbish.

    About as poor form as your reason for not attending the Pies game last Friday night. 

    Blaming Nibbler for putting his family ahead of his career is wrong also. Then for you to conjure up it as a reason for you to  not go is even worse. 

    Pathetic in fact. 10 years of loyal service a premiership hero not sure we need fans with this memory or sort of appreciation.

     I never used Neal Bullen as a reason for not attending the footy last week. You might have the wrong guy.

    why was the delayed concussion leading to the high impact aspect not even questioned?

    where was the proof it was related to this incident, surely it is open to questioning?

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
