So we had four players fined.

How many did Gold Coast get fined.

I did not see the picket punch. Was it there at all ?

    Kozzie's very lucky he can keep escaping suspensions with these low level strikes.

    May did not and should not have copped a suspension. Not sure it warranted the melee.

    And I especially loved that we were at out toughest during this useless melee which resulted in Ainsworth running 40 metred unattended into the easiest goal of his life. (Pathetic)

    MATCH REVIEW: Fiorini and May in the clear, 22 charges laid

    The match review findings from Saturday's round 16 games are in

    5 players for us got fined (May, Salem, Viney, Oliver, Melksham) engaging in a melee/wrestle

    6 Suns got a fine for engaging in a melee/wrestle (Noble, Walter, Anderson, Humphrey, Collings, Clohesy)

    In addition to Ben King getting a fine for Instigator of a Melee/Wrestle.

    Personally, reckon the fine for instigating a melee should be higher than engaging in a melee

    Apparently a melee is an acceptable setting for the umpires to ignore the rules and not re-set him to take the ball back behind the mark.

    Or to reverse the kick in the first place to give it to May for being smacked by 2 suns players

    Loved the "Petty had poor technique"when he got concussed rubbish by the media

    It's along the same vibe as "Brayshaw deviated his line into ftards shoulder" kinda logic.

    What about Vineys sling tackle on whoever it was? Rowell?

    I know it didnt even draw a free kick at the time but the TV commentary review panel were already giving him weeks.

    After picking up the ball ahead of the mark, while defenders were being held and wrestling in a melee, not able to stop him and then not bouncing the ball once in that 40 metre run.

    Wonderful officiating!

    More than that. Am I right in thinking the umpire had already stopped the clock. Subsequently using 'play-on' to break up a melee may sound a plausible excuse, but I don't think it is good policy to give such an advantage to either side, and especially the one that start the melee. Just imagine if it was a close game and happened to C'wood.

    I think you are correct, that the time on had been called and play was stopped.

    I was unaware of the new rules that you can run with the ball as far as you like, without bouncing it, if you are running from a melee and that you don’t have to go behind your mark if a free is called and play is stopped, when time on has been called, while your team mates have knocked down a player not in the play and are wrestling the opposition to stop them defending.

    We will say nothing most likely.

    Are we sure the umpire did not award a 50 meter penalty for late contact after the mark was taken (even if momentarily)?

    Yes we are sure, it was paid a free not a mark and no 50m penalty.

    As Ainsworth ran past the umpire, he put his hands up and called play on and watched him run 40 metres into goal without bouncing the ball.

    OK, so you're sure Ainsworth wasn't just being given the green light to proceed to the new mark (with 50 meters )to take his kick. Often players do that so as to register the score quickly and therefore avoid a reversal from any infringement in the melee.

    No wonder we are a pushover. Soft cooks.

    He was actually all alone and unattended.

    We can only pray for small mercies like this in a [censored] season.

    At least 20 of the 40 were without a bounce! Where is an umpire who has the guts to adjudicate the most basic of rules?

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
