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.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
