    I know its a lottery at times, but this Comden/Mihocek one has me confused on where it'll land

    I wonder how long before, they might ask questions if it was a bit before the tackle, like why didn’t he come off etc.

    It was still a dangerous tackle though, his arms were pinned and ridden to the ground, yes he released him right at the last moment but it had potential to be a lot worse, you could see the concern on Comben's face after the event.

    Yep, yet another case of punish the outcome, not the dangerous action.

    The MRO still hasn't been given a brain for Christmas

    Michael - it was a dangerous tackle, with a player's head driven into the ground.

    If you can't see the you really need to stand down.

    Well, he couldn't have taken him fully to the ground unless he had partially disengaged his arm

    No, Comben was a "won't be long" watch.

    So whose Medical Report was that?

    It doesn't say Melbourne's, Does it? Why not?

    Ah yes, Michael Christian. You can guarantee that if Mihocek was still playing for the Pies, Comben would have been suspended.

    Never will i forget his threat to resign if Maynard was rubbed out.

    The final straw for me in terms of knowing that the AFL is obviously corrupt

    What made it worse was the half the football public had Maynard as not guilty. Incredible

    But there again, a lot of fans still pine for the violent days of old. Brayshaw became an expendable entity. Disgusting

    Anyone know the MFC players that have already been done 2 or 3 times for umpire contact? 4th time will be a suspension.

    My understanding is that Rivers got done twice last year, so he'll need to make a concerted effort to avoid umpire contact going forward.

    Surely the AFL can't do this retrospectively? It goes against natural justice. It would be like announcing that if you had 3 jay-walking fines in the last 5 years and got another one next year, you would be jailed. If you knew the newly announced consequences, you might have been more careful to not jay-walk all those years ago.

    It's a good point you make.

    The article just says 4 times. 4 times in your career or 4 times in a season?

    Adam Cerra had to go to the tribunal last year for making contact 4 times - over multiple years, NOT in 2025.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.
