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.

    maynard was so innocent the MRO threatened to quit if it went to the tribunal.

    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.

    That fiefdom needs a damn good shake up

    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.

    • 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?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
