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

    MATCH SIM: Friday 7th February 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti
