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.

    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.

    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

    Surely a trip by hand where the tackle slips lower accidently (initially being legal) is not a sanction. Ridiculous.

    If you were making a file of MRO inconsistencies you wouldn't lack for material. In Kozzie's case the oppo just grabbed for his ankle - not a sign of attempting a proper tackle which went wrong. In Lindsay's case a tackle slipped down and he didn't let go as he should have. Pretty clear to me which one was worse. Don't ask the MRO.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
