    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: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
