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?

    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.

    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!

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
