I genuinely think he had no intention whatsoever of going for the ball. He made up his mind very quickly that he wanted to hurt his opponent. Had no interest in the ball whatsever.

    AFL website;

    "Nash tried to make a physical impact on the contest when Miers had the ball, but his arm stayed high and collected his opponent in the head.

    The incident, which left the Geelong dynamo staggering from the field, has been graded careless, severe impact and high contact."

    Nash did not put his body into the contest. He can be seen doing a cute little 'oh my, a football' dance right after smashing Miers.

    Miers did not have possession of the ball.

    Nash's arm did not 'stay high', It was swung to go high.

    Miers did not 'stagger from the field', he was immediately knocked out and into the highest-alarm 'fencer pose', and after regaining consciousness was assisted from field by two trainers.

    Aside from that, a very accurate summary.

    I'm also curious about the definitional boundaries of 'I intentionally smashed him, but was careless in that it resulted in him being smashed'.

    Isn’t Nash 198cm tall? His arm was always going to connect high on Miers or any other player less than 193 cm tall. What was he trying to do as his arm swings like a windmill, it could really only end one way? I suppose the careless/intentional rating will always be challenged so the MRO goes for the defensible rating. Should get 4 to 5.

    Did anyone see the alleged striking offence cited by the MRO against Kozzie on Worner? What time and which quarter?

    It does seem that bloody useless and non-impartial Christian has a special look at whatever Kozzie does.

    There’s zero consistency and it’s been that way for a while now unfortunately. I honestly try not to pay attention to the tribunal cause it makes my blood boil. It doesn’t make sense to me how they seem to pick and choose when a player gets off and one doesn’t.

    Why doesn't the Club request/order Christian Umpires boss,to appear before the AFL, and (Neitz) over bias accusations against members of MFC?

    The explanation is that Michael Christian is of very low IQ and doesn’t have a clue.

    Should have just punched him in the jaw when the ball was out of play, that's only 1 week

    I’m still reeling that Nash got just 1 week more than Archer

    Accidental and intentional seems to have little baring on the outcome

    it’s an embarrassment

    By the laws of the game, if you pin any arm(s) and it results in a players head hitting the turf, it’s a dangerous tackle and should be a week(s) depending on other variables.

    I don’t remember the chin one, but I wouldnt like it if Curtis gets weeks. It doesn’t look right. But by the laws, he should though, haha

    Did anyone else see Tom Greens bump on the WB player? Looks very similar to Kozzys on Moore last year.

    But for TG, no case to answer, wonder why?????

    I wonder what the case would have been if the player was concussed. That's seemingly saved him here?

    Saw lots of social media/former players defend TG. Assume Pickett's past form didn't help here.

    Still annoyed at that suspension, didnt help our poor start.

    Toby would have got time as would Koz...

    The other Green.

    Similar but lucky there was no concussion.

    Kozzies no saint, he was suspended the first three rounds, and I believe he has been fined the other three.

    Rough play, striking, and assailing the umpire.

    He's no saint for sure - but 'assailing'?. The suspension at the end of 2024 was wrong and either motivated by his previous record or the effect on the MRO's favourite team. Probably both.

    Does anyone have the deets/footage on Chandlers suspension re the run down tackle from a few years back. It seems the footy industry has collectively forgotten about this all together.

    I remember this - was a great tackle. He let him go and still got some. Again it’s a footy act that is judged on the outcome. Annoying how everyone is coming to Curtis’s defence.

    Slightly different as Chandler takes him part side on and slams him into the turf. Curtis is completely from behind. Very hard for Curtis to change anything when the player immediately falls to his knees propelling them both forward.

    If Nick Daicos or Scott Pendlebury were the culprit, what would the verdict have been?

    It’s always the smaller clubs once a newish rule comes in that are made the scapegoat

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
