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.

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

    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.

    I wish they add weeks to his suspension, in no way was he going for the ball.

    What's below careless? Because it's not like they could argue against severe impact or high contact.

    According to the AFL's guide, there is nothing else

    Not sure what their argument will be, because as you say there is no arguing the severe impact or the high contact.
    No doubt there are some dodgy loopholes for Carlton players they'll try and use.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
