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

    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.

    I like it.

    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.

    This is not the right thread, however not worth opening one.

    Out of curiosity, if Kozzie got brownlow (which he won’t) but if he did, would he be eligible as he was suspended at the start of the year?

    Suspension happened last year but it carried through.

    Just curious of the ruling in that instance, if anyone knows?

    Precedent?? At the afl tribunal? Don't make me laugh

    Unfortuantely there is plenty of precedent -- just not one that makes any sense. The precedent seems to be about whether you play for certain clubs, are a star player and on the media's "good bloke" list, and the stage of the season. Any resemblance between similar incidents and their outcomes is purely accidental ☹️

    Legit same situation.

    Late to the ball.

    Should have known he would be second to it.

    Same as May incident except for the shoulder hitting.

    But that shouldn’t account for anything as May wasn’t suspended for a bump.

    I bet [censored] everything you’re right and nothing is even mentioned.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
