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

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
