    At least Adrian Anderson’s record remains intact

    I had given up when I saw he was doing the defense. I follow quite closely his musings and just don’t think he has the skill set for these tribunals.

    Absolutely

    Go Riv

    It’s madness

    He was going for the ball

    His eyes are on the ball

    He has 0.0005 second reaction time when the ball pops up

    For health and legal reasons the AFL may now have no option but to introduce a no defence rule.

    Start off with 3 weeks and work up from there.

    Unfair, now yes but after a while risky bumps will become less common.

  • Quote

    An accident is three weeks

    but

    Moore deliberately dropping your knees into someone is not even reviewed???

    And

    Knocking out a player with a swinging arm is also just 3 weeks

    Madness

    Explain that to me

    @AFL is losing the fans

    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.

    Whatever ever the outcome none of us are happy but that’s actually a really disgraceful comment in the last sentence.

    Wishing injury on a player is bad enough but any adult knows the implications of a snapped spine.

    FFS, we’re better than that.

    Appeal and if that fails just play him anyway if we lose the 4 points for an unregistered player or don't think would give a flying [censored]

    "we find that he had sufficient time to position his body so that he was no longer attempting to gather the ball."

    This is what these idi-ts said.

    And then take it to the court system for restraint of trade. Unlawfully preventing our player from his rightful position at work due to corporate bullying.

    I personally love the message from Rivers. What I dislike is Channel 7 labelling it a ‘hit’. The AFL went as far as to say it wasn’t a hit or bump.

    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?

    If this was in the ruling then I think it's the grounds for appeal...

    I want a few players to pull up and not go for the ball in coming matches.

    Then I would love to see the reaction of the footy world.

    Justin McInerny is sanctioned for nudging an opponent into the fence.

    Brayden Maynard forcefully shoves an opponent into the dugout - not mentioned.

    "Knees" Moore slides, knees out, into an opponent on the ground - not mentioned.

    Even if there is no conflict of interest, there needs to be seen to be no conflict of interest.

    This decision just adds to my disillusion with the AFL. I'll never stop loving The Dees and I'll still go to our games but I'm pretty much done with the AFL as a whole.

    Local footy is so much better on so many levels.

    Not sure about that. Riv will probably now get a "please explain" or worse......commenting on a Tribunal decision.

    And the fact that Riv probably knows the consequences makes me admire his public support for his teammate even more.

    Players these days don't have the same sense of self protection as10,20 30+years ago. The rules have taken out the bump which often was about protecting yourself as much hurting your opponent. This collision 10 years ago doesn't happen - both players most likely turn a little sideways to brace for contact instead of May running straight on and Evans leading with his face. Neither player gets hurt.

    I have taught my 12 year old son to protect himself in the contest. Its really the only way to stop yourself from being injured like Evans was.

    AFL rules, MRO, the tribunal system are to blame for his injuries and head office needs to be held accountable. Being officiating in the manner they have for the past 5-10 years they have completely changed the way it gets played so people lead with their head into contests. I can't stand seeing this. Players need to be able to protect themselves first and foremost

    If there is anyone in the footy world that doesn't think the Tribunal are absolute raving idi-ts, here is another brilliant finding of theirs tonight.

    "The tribunal said he should have been thinking about what would happen if he didn’t get there first."

    Yes of course, in the .056 of a second everyone agreed, is all he had to avoid a "possible collision," with someone coming from his side.

    • 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.
