Aaron Davey has been given two weeks for his retaliatory strike as reported on SEN. Hopefully he learns his lesson. I thought he'd only get a week. We will miss his speed but at least we aren't fighting for a finals spot.

Meanwhile, in keeping with its policy of protecting those who hit Melboune taggers, Simon Black got a reprimand for his whack on Godfrey.

    From the AFL:

    Aaron Davey, Melbourne, has been charged with striking Troy Selwood, Brisbane Lions, during the first quarter of the Round 15 match between Melbourne and the Brisbane Lions, played at the Gabba on Saturday July 14, 2007.

    In summary, his carry-over demerit points from within the last 12 months means that his sanction cannot be reduced from the two-game penalty on offer.

    The incident was assessed as intentional conduct (three points), medium impact (two points) and body contact (one point). This is a total of six activation points, resuling in a classification of a Level Three offence, drawing 225 demerit points and a two-game sanction. He has no existing good or bad record. He has 93.75 demerit points carried over from within the last 12 months, increasing the penalty to 318.75 points and a three-game sanction. An early plea reduces the penalty by 25 per cent to 239.06 points and a two-game sanction.

    It's about what it deserved, bloody shame as he played well after that, but you have to pay for stupidity and he is as well as the club.

    This has been on the cards for about 6 weeks with Davey, he's been getting more and more frustrated and giving away soft free kicks. Hopefully the holiday will calm him down a bit.

    seems like a contradiction in terms to me. if he offended in the last 12 months i assume he has a bad record in that period?

    Did he just get demerit points instead of a suspension? I'm not sure.

    As for the suspension, we have nothing when it comes to crumbing forwards so it's rather frustrating that Davey is suspended, particularly considering our injury list.

    As others have said, I hope this is the catalyst for some changes.

    demerit points still means he did something wrong meaning bad record...

    regarding small forwards, you're right, we struggle in that dept. id like to see buckley or even CJ tried in that role this week. im afraid that it might get byron back in the side to play in the forward line...

    I suggest it doesn't, considering the AFL release said Davey doesn't have a bad record yet does have demerit points :unsure:

    Brilliant lack of ability to shake a tag & just let anyone or thing get under his skin. Davey for Goose of the week.

    I knew this would happen. He most definately deserved a suspension. It was completely undisciplined. BUT going on the incredibly soft precedence the MRP have set this season I can't believe he got 2 weeks. How did they decide that was medium impact? It should have been low impact, and if that still makes it over 2 weeks then so be it but I think it is a stupid classification. There have been a lot more harmful or potentially harmful incidents that have been completely ignored by the MRP this year. He deserved a week - nothing more.

    Does anyone remember the incident he got the reprimand for? According to fanfooty, charging Matt Thomas (port) this year.

    davey deserved that ... hope he really does learn his lesson and the way we are going we will have no senior list by the end of this season... LOL

    Hopefully he uses his time off to learn to deal with his anger because it is hurting the team.

    I think its helping the team in the long run though.

    im glad davey got 2 weeks. teaches him a lesson. Aaron is the most undisciplined player at Melbourne. He has not self control and lets taggers get the better of him. There is one way to play Aaron Davey and that is get into his head at the start of the game, step on his feet, pinch him, push him. he cant handle it. His attitude and discipline has been exploited by many teams and last weeks performance against Brisbane will set a precident for taggers to play on Davey. Just ask Steven Baker.

    re Black..

    unless SUSPENDED.. he is still elligible.

    A Shame for flash. Hi sub par season was turning around after a few solid games. A two week layoff could be a set back for him building good form.

    If you will hit on camera, you have to wear it!

    Yeah it was one of those late bumps after Thomas took the mark. It warranted a reprimand nothing more.

    I'm so angry at Davey, as he seems like a nice bloke off the field. I really don't know how their going to solve his anger management issues.

    Here's hoping they bring Pickett back for his 200th against his old mob. Although with Robbo's 200th you'd think the club will make it his day only.

    Unlikely for Byron this week.......

    Pickett stalled again

    While Robbo's application on the ground annoys me, at least he shows an affiliation and love of the Club (sometimes in his own way). It would be a slur to Robbo to have to share his special achievement with someone who has cheated the team and just taken the money during his time at MFC.

    Pickett should earn his spot in the team. He's the last person I would give a "charity game" to.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
