    Hopefully we get more than 2 marks out of this three-tall combo this week under the roof

    Guess so, it wasn't mentioned on the telecast as an issue, and they normally jump pn those to create drama and commentary

    I thought he'd be ok seeing as the giants player was OK.

    I mean Greene knees someone & gets a fine.

    Poor guy, his 1st game and he gets suspended

    Nobody seemed to make much noise about this during the game!? And they do love to drag us during commentary, so pretty rough outcome. 

    Wonder if there’s a stat for a goal and suspension on debut.

    What about the giants player that elected to bump and got Tom McDonald high with his hip. The impact was high enough to rule the giants player out of the game. So if they are adjudicating it on action that technically should also have been a suspension.

    Watching on TV, I remember it happening and definitely thought it was crude.

    Not surprised he was cited

    Point by point -

    Careless Conduct, Medium Impact, High Contact

    Correct, harsh, and debatable.

     

    Not pleased but I feel like AJ is going to need a week off anyway after the amount of bodywork he did in his first game.

    He'll be back fresh and ready to contribute against the plethora of talls at Gold Coast.

     

    Edit: And Brown should also be copping a fine for simulation. That was embarrassing for football.

    He's a Melbourne player. Lucky he didn't get 4 weeks.

    Wasn't much in it and yep I'm sure he'll come back firing.

    He's getting the full experience. Must really feel as if he's arrived!

    Strawbs O'Dwyer recounted on The Front Bar that he was suspended in his first game then again in his return game!

    Absolute joke

    I agree 

    There wasn't much in it but the Giants player accentuated the contact to make it look worse

    There was not much contact with the head and the ground either

    This was always going to be a suspension whether we like it or not. Arms pinned, driven down. He maybe gets off if he can show he didn’t pin Brown’s right hand but the way the Tribunal works with dangerous tackles, I doubt it.

    Yeah thought this would happen as soon as I saw it. Pinned the arms and drove the opposition players head into the ground, if I remember correctly. Gotta love the aggression though.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
