Carlton appears to own the Tribunal, with Cripps unbelievably getting off, then Newman, Boyd, McKay and now Cerra all winning appeals.

While other clubs generally lose their Appeals, Carlton seem to have them in the bag.

My theory is that Michael Christian lets his Pies hate for the Blues cloud his judgement (obviously he needs the sack). There is no way Cerra deserved a week, what a joke.

 

Only suspension upheld was Fogarty - he got 1 week but was out injured for 6 so they didn't bother.

A brown paper bag perhaps.

Proof positive the AFL sense of fairness is corrupt beyond doubt

It’s interesting the North were open about their reason for not appealing the Curtis ruling - ie. we don’t think we have any chance of winning an appeal

 

On a slightly different matter, I see Ross Lyon had a crack at the VFL tribunal and VFL comp. Tauru was handed a 4 week ban in the VFL for rough conduct.

With a bye at the start and the end of his suspension the kid won’t play a game for 6 weeks. Farcical.

That’s another joke.

He seemed to chest his opponent and concussion and then 4 weeks, which became 6 weeks because of byes, ridiculous.

Curtis is guilty, of not playing for Carlton.

Cerra copped a week for striking Jack Bowes. In a similar incident two days earlier Mitch Hinge copped a week for striking Andrew Brayshaw. Both Carlton and Adelaide appealed. Cerra’s suspension was downgraded to a fine, Hinge’s suspension was upheld. Who do Carlton and Adelaide play this weekend? They play each other.

Yes GW, it wasn't lost on me.

Hewett got off a punch which was clearly shown on video, because they argued the charge related to the wrong hand. What an absolute joke.

Imagine in a Court of Law, getting off a murder charge, because the gun was held in the other hand.

The worst case for mine was Cripps’ brutal hit on Cal Ah Chee in Round 21, 2022 which attracted a 2-match suspension (famously overturned on a technicality resulting in him being eligible for the Brownlow which of course he won). Ah Chee missed the following week due to concussion.

But relevant to us was the fact that we played Carlton the following week (Round 22) and we were spewing Cripps was free to play. It worked out ok for us though coz this happened…

Any excuse to watch this clip 😅

Suspension are for games not weeks. He got a 4 game ban.

...but Lyon's crack at the AFL for an amateur hour reserves comp was more than valid.

Remember that game well. All the smug smiling laughing scum around me.... they thought they had it. If the G had of had a roof that night Kozzies goal would have lifted it the roar was that huge !!

The collective Carlton smile was wiped from every cretinous face in an instant.

T'was a beautiful moment 😁

On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
