The very big issue I have with him copping a 2 week ban is that forever and a day, the AFL have used the outcome determine the consequence. So often in the past, no concussion would equal no suspension. Typical AFL using the MFC as a scape goat. Watch a Collingwood player do an identical action to one of our players next week and get off scott free.

Many other players have been afforded this grace by the AFL tribunal of getting no suspension because no injury resulting. AJ has become like another Kossie goes to the tribunal / MRO, it will be an automatic suspension every time, because players in Collingwood jumpers are allowed to play with aggression, but ours are not.

Yes but in the Maynard case the outcome was given jack sheeit to the zero, nothing to see penalty! Still makes my blood boil!

Then so is everyone else who does the same, but that isn’t what has been happening.

Only one more week for concussing him, under the guidelines, really?

yeah i thought mills was a 2 week one as well

mrp chook lotto means you never have any idea as to who will get what tho

2 weeks to work on his goal kicking which is bad enough to get him suspended for bringing the game into disrepute

Will we have enough players at Casey to step up feild a team at the MCG on Monday if that is the basis for suspension?

He contributed to the injury, the false thug😂😂😂😂

It really is.....The AJ hit is worse than the Mills one IMO. Mainly because NWM has possession, disposes of the ball, THEN is hit high.

Its border line, but Mills jumps when the ball is still somewhat in dispute. Both are no good and deserve suspension, but I understand why AJ's is graded as worse.

I guess it could be argued each way, but suggesting MFC is getting picked on, or treated harsher than other clubs is just more Demonland victimhood.

I'm not paritcularly fussed about the suspension either way since I don't believe AJ is in our best 22, but I'm not sure what you've described is how these things are graded. They just use a matrix and I'm not really sure how they came to the conclusions they did.

for Mills it's this

"The Match Review Officer graded the incident as careless conduct, medium impact and high contact, leading to the one-game ban."

For AJ it's this

"The Match Review Officer graded the incident as careless conduct, high impact and high contact, resulting in the two-game suspension."

Both Spargo and NWM left the field and were cleared after undergoing an HIA. So the grading (medium vs high) seems completely arbitrary.

Viney was hit with a round arm to the face after marking and the aggressor jumped off the ground to deliver the blow.

He got one week for medium impact.

Viney later gets concussion and misses four weeks.

Obviously MRO doesn’t know Viney will get delayed concussion, but how can that blow to the face be medium impact?

The MRO and Tribunal and AFL footy department are a joke.

Yes, jumping off the ground and bumping a bloke in the head is dumb.

Imagine this place if Maynard did this next week to one of our players.

Which he's probably gonna do anyway because he knows the maggots are going to turn a blind eye to anyway.

Thay are responsible for several cases this year of kids being pushed in the back, kneed in the back, and other dirty acts going unnoticed and causing injured players to stay on the ground. Let's hope not, or maybe it should lead to class actions in the future.

Disgruntled old player of the game, who remembers some injures.

A blessing in disguise IMO as it will force the club’s hand in bringing JVR back in the side whom we need to get going again. 5 or so games at Casey is plenty.

Surely JVR will get more than 4 touches and 0.5 marks a game and provide just as much as AJ does in the ruck?

Im sure you can suggest that when you talk about their Kicking for goal. Id support you with that as well.

By the way Hows Jeffos kicking action? Saw a comment which seemed to say he was ok.

Great set shot routine, BUT again like fritta sometimes tries to guide the ball through rather than kicking through the ball as I have maintained!☺️

Thanks.

Just referenced you in another thread to get down to training.

Youve got some good techniques and there are some interesting ideas coming from others that you should be able to present.

Just a PS

The unbiased impartial non club affiliated MRO of course couldn’t resist fining Kozzi for a jab to the guts to a hard tagger who kept jabbing him, something he ignores if the perp is in black and white.

MRO

What a bunch of disgusting human beings.Oliver went down on the ground and nothing happens every week. Kozzie got physically jumped on AND MAULED SAVAGELY by three St kilda heroes at the same time. Nothing happens.

In my opinion most of the force from Johnson' s shoulder bypassed NWM and more than likely hit the Melbourne bloke.

Should have done it in the first quarter
