Surprised he wasn't ruled out for the season after this hit piece

 

As expected. He didn’t need to do that at all. You leave the ground and turn your body and collect a player high, and you’re in trouble.

Stupid from a guy fighting for his AFL life.

JVR to replace him

I'd like to understand how this was different to the Mills bump on Spargo.

It wasn’t. But Mills is Mills, and AJ has played 5 games for 2 suspensions. Connect the dots.

He should cop his fair whack. But we should challenge on the basis of Miles last week and the fact that Pearce knocks a bloke out and get it revoked. The AFL have absolutely NFI.


ok.

The only possible objection to the suspension would be the inconsistency of the MRO/tribunal circus, but, if that were a cause you could get anyone off anything.

Yes, the media loves a hanging judge.

I was hoping it was going to be thrown out along with Meek’s spoil on Lipinski, but it was a bridge too far.

The two-match ban is about right imo.

What I have a problem with is all the talk on here about how we need someone crashing packs, no fear, grunt etc. We get AJ who fits the bill, he’s suspended, so now he’s dumb??? It’s a fine line he treads, let’s have his back.

IKR?

It sounds unconscionable, but once the deed was done, I was sort of hoping W – M was going to be off for the whole game.

Now it feels like he’s been suspended without the team having any benefit. Probably wouldn’t have saved us though.

Would much rather AJ have played like a saint until KB. Maybe not quite in those words, but certainly saved up any vitriol, or malicious intent for number 4 this week.

Is there a return fixture?

Pretty bloody dumb.

Should not and won't play another AFL game!

Just tried to be a 1980s player !!

Not showing any sense of the modern game.

What was the point of jumping into a bloke kicking the ball ? Smother or spoil or tackle with force. Not bump. Was it stupid? 95/100 people would say yes.

With that sort of attitude BAMF you wouldn't have looked out of place in our side yesterday.

I agree, but also why waste the money on a challenge? AJ isn’t exactly setting the world on fire. What he did was stupid, and could have easily concussed someone. Given what Viney is facing and what we went thru with Gus, I have no issues letting him cop a 2 week ban.


The best ability is availability.

Especially when you’re a mature age recruit who has already missed games due to suspension.

His only AFL attribute is his aggression. But this is his second suspension in 5 games so it’s become a liability.

He’s probably a ripper bloke but unfortunately he has no skills to be an afl player. If not suspended he should have been dropped anyways.

Two weeks seems right to me. Not a good look for the game, and very lucky that W-M didn’t fail the concussion protocols.

I love the intensity and aggression that AJ brings to the game, but he needs to contain it where the head might be involved.

He needs to learn from this!

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
