I have tried to look at this rationally and logically but .... no matter how hard I try .... I just can't get angry or indignant at a player getting off for whacking that POS, Mason Cox.

    We all know what has happened here.

    Back to the grassy knoll theory.

    Crisp should have got a week, but he is a Pie going for an AFL record, so let the other guy off for a blatant punch to the face and everyone will be happy and let it slide.

    Think back to Sparrows’ suspension for a tackle, a couple of years ago, which was less or the same as Crisp.  No Pies’ player going for a record that week.

    I still cannot get over or reconcile Kozzie’s latest 3 week suspension, involving the Pies’ Captain, dished out by a Pies’ Premiership player and then dismissed at a Tribunal headed by a self declared Pies’ fan.    Oh yeah!

    Can anyone honestly swear that having an ex Collingwood player as MRO passes the pub test?

     Sunday Herald Sun page 91 shows a photo of Darcy Moore shoulder charging Sam Darcy in what was referred as a “marking contest”.

    Does anybody know if this has been under the spotlight?

    Nb. I haven’t seen the video.

    Ps. I think this is now No.4 of questionable incidents by Moore since KB.

    I read that Viney has been charged “for an incident” and offered a fine. 
    Did anyone see anything?

    Surely the low IQ MRO should be required to be more specific

    Maybe something to do with his kicking efficiency?

    3 weeks for Mansell, always interesting when the AFL make an example of someone, we’ve been on the other end of this a few times.

    While pushing can be dangerous as we have seen and I am not a Mansell fan, this is ridiculous.

    They were wrestling and he pushed him away and then Lynch hits him with an arm I think, clumsily at the end of the contest. How is Mansell meant to see that happening from his action?

    It wasn’t even a hard push.

    Because the Saint got concussed they are looking for a player to penalise.

    Lynch is actually the one who struck and concussed him.

    Players are punching each other and getting a fine.

    Mansell nearly pushed him into taking the mark - Lynch stopped that. Free against Lynch.

    Surprising that Yze thought they couldn't change the rules mid-season. From his time at Melb you'd think he knows they change anything when if suits the AFL. (I expect he does know, but said what he said regardless)

    Some bloke pushed the number 1 draft pick (Lalor) into a collision that broke his jaw and got nothing in a practise match.

    I get the MRO is a tough gig but consistency can't be that hard

    Nobody thinks Lobb should have got off for punching Cox in his goggles but he did.

    Don't even get me started about a dog ending the career of a hero of the MFC.

    Yeah this Mansell suspension is disgraceful. If it had happened to an MFC player this thread would be going bonkers right now.

    This wasn’t punishable conduct in the pre-season but is now?

    The MRO system is beyond a joke.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.

    • PREGAME: Geelong

      After a one-year reprieve, the Demons return down the freeway to Kardinia Park — the site of both one of our greatest triumphs and one of our darkest days — as they face the Cats under Friday night lights. This one could get ugly. Who comes in, and who comes out?
