how do you have sufficient time to slow down when you were a split second and/or a bounce away from winning the ball?

    Maynard 0 weeks. May 3 weeks. The AFL states that Maynard bumped Brayshaw. The AFL concedes that May did not bump the Carlton player. Honestly, WTAF.

    I know it’s not the point but he’ll only be genuinely missed for the Dogs game.

    He can’t play St Kilda irrespective of the suspension and lord help Goodwin if we can’t beat West Coast without May.

    Thats completely irrelevant for me, it's not about games missed I honestly couldn't care at all. It's about the principle, what the AFL is turning the game into and the fact we are always made an example of while other clubs get away with stuff scot free. It's completely [censored], the club has to appeal this even if he will miss 3 weeks with concussion anyway.

    How TF did Pearce get off? He could see the guy coming at him. May had no time.

    That gets 3 weeks and Maynard got off. [censored]. And don't @ me about the [censored] supposed rule change at the end of that year. [censored]'s sake.

    Maynard shoved Murphy Reid into the bench this week. Nothing. Moore drops his knees into an opponent's back this week. Nothing.

    Sums it up. A Collingwood player can intentional try to cause harm to an opponent with non football related actions that would be deemed assault off field... not even cited.

    Player from another team accidentally collided with an opponent as part of a football contest where he tried to avoid harming the opponent... Three weeks suspension.

    The game is ruined. The joy of watching and supporting is gone. We've now got endless rule changes that can't even be officiated consistently and blatant corruption to deal with.

    I'm done.

    Collingwood were illegitimate premiers in 2023. If they win again this year, they will be illegitimate again. People on here can call me a whinger, I don't give a [censored]. This isn't a sport anymore - it's a fixed spectacle. It's basically WWE sports entertainment level production.

    I reckon the fact that we are not in contention for finals may have factored in as well.

    Does anyone know who was on the tribunal? They should be named and shamed.

    Saw this question in Zitas twitter thread, which I found interesting.

    How can the charge be "upheld" when the case was sent directly to the Tribunal and not graded by the MRO?

    I feel sorry for May. He could've actually tried to clean Evans up and it's wouldn't be far far worse. Instead he did the right thing and elected not to bump at all and still copped a three week suspension.

    Poor bastard.

    Hopefully he snaps Moores spine with a rogue knee at some point.

    We know what this is really about.

    The AFL is being sued for $1billion by former players.

    They are trying to show they are doing everything to stop concussion and in the process destroying the game.

    Appeal and win.

    Tribunal: we concede it wasn’t a bump.

    Club spokesperson: what should May have done?

    Tribunal: he should’ve bumped.

    Just call it the Collingwood Football League at this point.

    Steve probably had a greater chance of being elected supreme leader of North Korea then walking out of there with no suspension.

    So they concede it wasn’t a bump. If that’s the new precedent, why didn’t TDK also get 3 weeks for putting his knee in the wrong spot??

    Carlton lawyer would be all over that and win May a brownlow as a result.

    Pity, we have AA.

    I did some research and assumed Adrian Anderson was successful in JVR’s appeal against the Suns in 2023.

    Nope. He was unsuccessful at the original tribunal case. Another lawyer got him off at the appeals hearing.

    The bloke’s a complete failure. And we’re a complete failure for continuing to appoint him.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
