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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
