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.

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.

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.

Deserves it. Disappointing, we can't afford to lose any more of our "senior" players. Hope he gets a huge kick up the arse from the club.

Will Black's reprimand put him out of the Brownlow?

I believe so.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
