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.

But I think that works in Chins favour. He lets him go and doesn’t drive him into the ground. Whereas Curtis technique didn’t allow for him to take any mitigating action so I’d argue he is more liable.

    Favouritism. Clearly.

    I do wonder if Maynard hadn't come along and bulged his forehead vein and created a drama, would it have been 3 weeks?

    The theatre is the thing.

    That Kozzie bump result was a disgrace Both players shaped to bump and Moore drops to his knees in the last second.

    I f*ing hate Collingwood

    Crow’s full back reported for light kick to Finlayson.

    I get your conspiracy theory but he won’t get suspended for that.

    A silly match day report from the umpire considering they seldom make them anymore.

    It is a reportable offence. I’d be gobsmacked if he wasn’t T least fined for it.

    Marshall and Hewitt both fined in Friday night’s game for tripping. The former for “attempting to trip”. I’m heading to AFL House if the Hawk’s player isn’t at least fined.

    The AFL would admit that the umpire missed the call, if he gets a tripping report. The AFL would rather make 2 bad decisions, than admit an error and accept accountability.

    They are too busy telling us how good the umpiring is.

    No way Hardwick gets any sanction - he plays for one of the chosen 5 teams this year - the others being Gold Coast, Essendon, Collingwood and Geelong. Brisbane the other team that will finish top 6 but most likely won't need umpires assistance.

    At the moment, we are the Be Sharps after Barney goes all John and Yoko.

    Thanks, and what else could I have expected? Duty of care covers accidents for certain players.

    There was nothing in the Merrett incident if you have a proper look at it.

    Regarding the Pickett unpaid blatant trip, the only surprise is that he wasn't penalised for kicking in danger.

    The old saying "you should have been more careful" doesn't apply here, to prospective B Medalist.

    Apparently there’s a matrix for some clubs and not others

    Hardwick tripping??? Had to be fined $5000 for a deliberate trip. AFL must come clean. It was an umpiring mistake. Ok we have to accept the wrong decision. Note Marshall got a fine for attempting to trip. MRO is confusing !!

    Further evidence of corruption in my opinion. Read the MFC injury report on Xavier Lindsay post Brisbane game and weigh that up with the MRO’s ‘nothing to see here’. Watch the replay of the incident and you will note that the ball was a metre above where the swinging arm made contact with Lindsay’s head/neck!

    Maybe not DubDee but should have been cited and a financial penalty, what if he has a late onset of concussion??

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
