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!

Why should we be surprised?

According to the MRO Hardwick didn’t trip Kozzie and Maynard did nothing wrong in ending Gus’s AFL career.

    So both MCInerny and Amarty are suspended. Not massive outs but leaves them a little short in their backline and forward line with Aaron Francis also concussed.

    I can’t imagine if someone did that to Nick Daicos in the first few minutes of a final. They would be calling for the death penalty.

    this is true. infuriating and depressing… but true. I don’t think i’ll ever get over that incident and its aftermath tbh .

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

    fair enough mate.

    Agree to disagree. I didn’t think there was much in it. Very unlikely to cause concussion

    And that wasn’t read at AFLHQ that there is a massive lack of impartiality or objectivity displayed by the MRO ever since he was appointed.

    I think any high contact that sends a player to hospital overnight should be considered careless at least.

    Meanwhile JV7 is about to miss his third game with concussion, which earned a one game suspension.

    He has had a few concussions: I hope that this isn’t going the path of Angus, who was concussed into retirement by “a football act”😡

    this is an interesting one. the tribunal banned bo allen when viney wasnt concussed. hence only 1 week with lower severity. but a concussion diagnosis would have increased the severity and thus increased the ban... but the tribunal doesnt revist/has no way to revist.

    This is why it shouldn’t be outcome based. Koz got weeks for a bump on Moore who was subbed off with Concussion, but was fine 5 minutes after the game.

    Yes, it should first and foremost be about the action that they're trying to remove from the game, due to its potential for injury. The outcome should be a secondary consideration because the same action on different people will have different results.

    Would’ve been best if they had.

    The commentators (on Kayo) trying to get Mills off are a disgrace.

    Jumped in the air, bumped, got Spargo high, Spargo was sent off for a HIA. That's 2-3 weeks even if Spargo did pass the HIA.

    FREMANTLE captain Alex Pearce is free to play after successfully overturning his three-match ban for rough conduct at the AFL Tribunal on Tuesday.

    how can you get a three game suspension down to 0, i can understand if one or two games get taken off but this doesn’t make sense to me

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
