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.

    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.

    That's assuming it will be a precedent and not just a blind throw at the dart-board

    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: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
