On the night I thought Kozzie would go as he's got form.
Been reading the outrage over the last couple days here thinking you're all just biased.
Anyway ... I've just had a look again at the vision.
And I agree, Moore dropped at the last second when Kozzie was already committed to the bump.
Having said that we all know they're hot on those who "Choose to bump".
Problem is that penalties appear to depend on who the offenders are and which club they belong too.
Whenever there's a decision to be made the AFL follow the money.
If the decision potentially effects their bottom line they'll concoct some BS loophole to find the defended not guilty.
Makes no difference to them if Kozzie misses the first 3games next year.
But Patrick Cripps missing a final for eg ...
It'd be incidental contact, act of play yadda, yadda, yadda ... 

AFL and the MRP are corrupt AF.

    I'm still baffled about the severe grading.

    Severe should be reserved for players knocked unconscious and escorted from a field on a stretcher or similar. Not those that get up immediately and take their kick and play another 10minutes.

    Did our “defence expert” raise the issue that Moore played on for a while without having a concussion assessment??   If this occurred will Collingwood be sent a ‘please explain’?  

    Did he ask if Moore, allegedly concussed, was reported as having beers with team mates in the days after the alleged concussion which is at odds with accepted concussion management if not mandatory requirements?  
     

    Did the “impartial” tribunal chairman consider these issues?  
     

    Or was this all preordained?  Big club “victim” of an “also ran club” player?   The head is sacrosanct except when it isn’t.

    Last I read we were assessing our options, how long do we get before we decide to appeal?

    If we’ve accepted I’ve missed it.

    I know this will have been expressed here numerous times, and likely better, but this outcome has really got my goat. 

    I appreciate Kozzy has been a little reckless from time to time - he plays at the edges etc, and honestly I think he has done well to reign it in a little.

    But seriously, this punishment is BS!! You can't leave the ground, fine, but now you can't legitimately engage in a bump (which is what Kozzy tried to do, no question), because the other guy may slip/fall to the ground, causing an unintended concussion?? Are we just full outcome mode (depending on player, of course - I won't go into that), regardless of intent or context, because that's what it looks like.

    What was Kozzy supposed to do? That move is performed dozens of times a week. A legitimate footy act. The chances of a concussion, or having regard to the possibility of a concussion while performing it, are so remote you can't possibly ask Kozzy to turn his mind to it while in the moment. 

    Moore fell, Kozzy's legitimate bump accidentally caused injury - it's an unfortunate reality of a contact sport. If you punish this, there's nothing left. 

    On a side note, it's bemusing that Moore/Maynard have both engaged in 'footy acts' and ended/possibly ended/impacted careers, and have received ZERO weeks COMBINED>

    WHAT IS GOING ON?????

    Outrageous. How lowering a shoulder when airborne and collinding with an opponents head only makes sense when it get's a Collingwood player off suspension during a finals campaign. 
    I'd also love to know how a knee to the back at full force in an attempt to spoil is a football act. Moor did this twice in a month. Tracc then Jarrad Witts left with two cracked verterbrae. Nary a word spoken. 

    Corrupt!

    Don't know but I'd have thought that would have elapsed by now. Must appeal IMV

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
