MFC to appeal Kozzies suspension: https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/1525732/mro-update-dees-challenge-pickett-sanction

If that's the case, there's more scope to argue for a fine.

Agreed.

Correction. I just checked the 2024 AFL Tribunal info brochure. This will be Kozzie's 3rd appearance at the tribunal in the last 2 years. The best outcome possible with a 3rd early guilty plea to "Careless, Low impact, High Contact" is a fine of $6250. Lets hope that is the case...

Max gets hit in the head twice as hard as this multiple times EVERY game and it never gets reported, This incident, whilst duly making contact to the head with the shoulder was nonetheless light. Soligo was not concussed. Soligo played on immediately. Come on. Fine. $3750 downgraded to $2500 with an early guilty plea.

I'm not convinced. If he kicks those 3 goals he's a hero. I'll watch his defensive and contested efforts more closely from now on sparked by your comments. Lets see how he goes...

Lock us in for consecutive Adelaide games next year! Go Dees!

All good. I think you'll find that the bio mechanics expert will show that the Adelaide player changed direction at the crucial moment. Precedence has been recently been set...

I thought Billings played well. If he kicked straight he could have had 3 goals.

Great effort to beat both Adelaide clubs in 5 days. Major confidence builder. Awesome stuff Melbourne! Oh yeah - TOP OF THE LADDER - Go DEES!

Intentional. More than 5 metres of the ball. Medium impact. Likely to cause injury. DOG ACT PENDLEBURY. Your Mum told you that the retaliator always gets caught. 2 weeks suspension I would think: Pend on Neale.mp4

I am sick of Collingwood getting off scott free where other clubs get suspensions. Something has got to change. Now. It should start with Pendlebury's suspension for his DOG ACT on Neale tonight. DOG. ACT.

Fox Footy commentators saying just now in response to Pendlebury's hit on Neale "its ok to whack players in the solar plexus for the next 12 months". UNBELIEVABLE. I'l say it again. Pendlebury needs to be suspended for 2 weeks for that. DOG ACT.

Dog act from Pendlebury. Dangerous hit off the ball more than 5 metres away. Pendlebury hit Neale with full force with the ball of his hand to his solar plexus. Pendlebury said it was retaliation in the interview and the retaliator always gets caught. He should be suspended for 2 weeks. Dog act.

Dog act from Pendlebury on Neale. Off the ball, easily more than 5 metres. Not in play. Pendlebury slams the base of his hand into Neale's Solar Lexus. No warning. Dangerous. SHOULD BE SUSPENDED FOR AT LEAST 2 WEEKS. Dog act Pendlebury. Dog act.

Congratulations on 200 games. Go Get em Jack.

Thanks for sharing. As has been noted by a previous post, no mention at all of plans for MFC in this story.

Many thanks for this info L.H. This and your kindred spirit is much appreciated. I did see the email with the link to purchase guest passes online but by Sunday it was apparently too late use this facility. As luck would have it, I managed to obtain a guest pass for my daughter simply by lobbing up to the friendly MFC staff at gate 3 on Sunday at about 11:30 am and they were happy to sell me a child's members guest pass for $10. Good value I reckon! After collecting the guest pass, we shared some lamb with garlic and chips from one of the outdoor food vans, then went to the kids activities between gates 2 & 3, and my daughter enjoyed traversing the inflatable obstacle, climbing the rock wall in harness, face painting, receiving a couple of give-aways, buying a MFC cap and Max Gawn badge, all before entering the MCG. During the game she told me she was quite anxious as she REALLY wanted Melbourne to win. We were both so glad when the result was as decisive as it was in Melbourne's favour. We went down to the fence at the end of the game and Big Benny Brown came right over to us with a couple of footys in hand. Whilst we didn't get one of those, it was just great to be so close the fine young man and his big smile after a great win over the Doggies. After the train ride home and returning home, my daughter told me quietly that she really enjoyed the day at the footy. Me too I said, me too!

Can you buy MFC member guest passes today at the MFC Office (between gate 3 and 4)?

Beer says it all...

I read Gus's letter and was moved by his eloquent expression of how grateful he is. It moved me. I wish he could keep playing but he has accepted the news that it is too risky to keep playing. He is a heart and soul player of the Melbourne Football Club. A generational talent - not just with his footy skills but his love for the club, and his intellect for the game and life in general. It just hurts to know he won't play again. I feel for you Gus, I wish you all the best for the future mate. Thanks for the best memories. Your diving mark and goal in the 21 GF in Perth to put us back in front is something that I will NEVER forget. Good on you legend.

You must be tripersonal.

Like: Clayton "The Kid" Oliver's left foot snap and goal in the 5th septher (not sure how to divide into sevenths...) Kayo worked Watching Melbourne play footy again 5 unanswered goals in the the 3rd septher Jake Bowey (No. 17) pinpoint accurate kicking Seeing lots of folks at Casey It's only a practice game Dislike Having less score at the end of the 4th septher than Rich%&$# At least one of Petracca's set shots at goal Having to write emails instead of going to the footy liquorice

All the best Disco with your recovery. Rehab well and come back and show 'em all how its done. You can do it.

Very sad news. Will always be remembered as a legend of the Melbourne Football Club and an innovator of VFL/AFL who could move and change with the times. Rest in Peace.
