    I still haven’t gotten over the Trengove suspension all those years ago. This might take a while too…disgusting decision.

    What about the Brent Moloney one where he ran at the bloke and missed him. He fell on his head and Moloney got suspended without making contact with him. Why do we get screwed so badly? I really hope Brad Green takes the May incident to court.

    A bloke has been suspended for going after the footy which is his profession. As far as I can see that is restraint of trade

    Rush may have gone in a little Hard and made rhe AFL look stupid

    Little wallflowers won’t have liked that

    Ha ha..he wouldn’t have had to try very hard to make the AFL look stupid. They are great at doing that themselves. They seem just a rudderless, reactionary, inconsistent bunch of incompetents.

    Not to mention that the AFL couldn't give a stuff about the numerous and most recent concussions inflicted on May by others - they really need to go ask the AFL about where was Tom De Koning's responsibility and duty of care towards May.

    The AFL are a [censored] joke.

    I like his style, going in hard:

    “Rush (Dees): To say the player is negligent because a ball may or may not bounce in a particular way is... I won't use the word I was going to say. It's totally unreasonable.”

    I'll use the word - it's B-LLSH-T

    ...and the AFL is full of it.

    We’ve been on the end of some insane tribunal cases but that Maloney one took the cake, didn’t even make contact with the player (believe it was Bartel) instead the player ducked his head into the ground. Somehow it was ruled that Moloney’s actions contributed to the Geelong players own clumsiness and he gets suspended.

    Seeing Pies players like Maynard and Moore get off just confirm that the MRO and tribunal is completely corrupt.

    Did we really mount an appeal on the grounds that May was denied procedural fairness?

    That's weak, even for this club. No wonder it only took 15 minutes for them to deny the appeal.

    Don't get me wrong, it was a terrible decision and he should never have been suspended, but we had to come up with a better reason to appeal.

    There are very restricted grounds on which you can appeal. Disagreeing with the decision isn't one of them.

    I just looked up the reason for Moloney's suspension he was charged with "rough conduct"

    Umm am I missing something here did that rule get removed between Moloney missing Bartel and Maynard almost killing Brayshaw?

    It got an ammendment that if you are a) a Pies player, and b) potentially in line for a grand final and/or premiership you can do whatever you want.

    Days since this [censored] decision and I’m still mad, it doesn’t make sense… imagine being banned for not predicting the future or slowing down… and not for bumping.

    Game will turn for the worse after this precedent.

    • 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.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
