It won't happen of course, but shouldn't Moore be cited for pushing Melksham into that contest with Howe?

Of course it won’t happen. That would be admitting that the ump’s got it wrong.

Which is why you might assume the MRO ignored the blatant Kozzie trip, or was instructed to, so as not to keep the issue in the public eye.

More like the MRO is a totally one eyed intellectually challenged Collingwood hack.

How long do the clubs tolerate this absolute disgrace?

Pushing an opponent into a dangerous situation, like Moore did to Melksham, was at the start of the season deemed to warrant a suspension. But that halfwit Christian didn’t see that. He urgently needs to be replaced.


It’s old news , but I’m still flabbergasted at Kozzie ‘s three week ban for accidentally brushing Moore’s head in round 23 last season( which has grossly disrupted our 25 season).

Compare that to Durham’s brutal assault on Cerra last week … 2 weeks!!! Durham was so lucky he didn’t break Cerra’s neck. (Reminiscent of Long in the 2000 GF, for which he should still be suspended.)

Can’t wait to see what happens to Butters for that off the ball strike to Kozzie’s head, causing our BOG at the time to have a concussion test, miss nearly a quarter and effectively end his contribution to the game.

Notice the way the media is ignoring Butters’ act?

Star player though, so we will see. When do Port play the Pies?

No surprise, not even a fine, not even the slightest mention.

Kozzy would have got a minimum of 3 weeks for that.

McVee got off unscathed as well.. I suppose it could have been worse.

Butters has lots of form in this space and am absolutely astonished he got off without a fine. Maybe the AFL feel sorry for him?

I think that’s why McVee got off so there wouldn’t be any publicity.

Same as Hardwick getting off Kozzie trip.

Orders from up high maybe?

If I was AJ, I'd feel pretty had done by as well.

Very glad McVee did get off though, he has been getting back towards his best footy in recent weeks and a really important contributor. Want to get yet more development into him and of course extend his contract to 2035.

Is it any wonder that some suggest that the AFL, and its one man prosecutor, judge and jury, the MRO, could be regarded as corrupt. Like the IOC and FIFA.

You can't tell me there's no bias.

Poor little champ had a tough night.

The fine for striking is over the top given it happens 272 times a game. Fine them all or none.

Naw poor Nick is copping what Clarry for years

WAAAAAAA


Fiorini KOs Petty in a contest, very similar or even more culpable than Kozzie v Moore last year, except that Moore was not concussed.

Kozzie gets 3 weeks, Fiorini nothing to see.

And some ask if the MRO is corrupt, inept, or both.

Looks like Viney and May Ok as well, lot of fines though for Melee commentators will be disappointed. No longer worried about head high contact??

Finally some good news from the MRO

I was sure Viney would get a week

What are you talking about?

Fiorini was trying to pick the ball up, and Petty went in head first.

Pickett chose to bump. Yes, he got unlucky that Moore went to ground, and I didn’t like the suspension, but the two are nothing at all alike.

If you think im going to try and make sense of all the MRO work from our game then you have the wrong guy and you need to get out more.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
