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.

Can someone please explain to me how brayshaw gets punched in the jaw and the player gets 1 week but young Archer from North goes for the ball and gets 3???

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?

Media defending Curtis. Chin got weeks for the same thing in 2022.

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: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
