Very disappointing for all concerned. Our forward set up was just starting to ‘settle’ imo, and now the experimentation has to start all over again.

6. Petracca 5. Viney 4. Oliver 3. Hibberd 2. Rivers 1. Brayshaw Also: Maysie and Nibbler very good.

Imo Petts was having his best game as a forward before injury. Hopefully just bruising to his foot. Club saying moon boot is precautionary.

Rolled ankle. Seemed unperturbed when interviewed post match.

Freo by 17 pts. yuk! They have a tough run over the next 3 weeks (G’long, us at the G and R’mond, I think). Hopefully they will fold against better opposition.

3/4 time… Freo by 17pts after a late rally by Swans. C’mon Swannies! You can do it!

45 to 32 in favour of Freo at the half.

19 to 7 at 1/4 time.

Swans 18 to Dockers 7, 25mins into first.

We showed during the week that we are not the ‘pushover’ club that many thought we were. I reckon we’ll come out pumped, just for the satisfaction of ‘rubbing their noses in it’, and to show our support for Roo and Maysie as well. A shellacking, and +10 percentage points, is a strong possibility. Go Demons!

Great play Jacob. Great play MFC! ❤️💙

Justice served! I’m teary eyed! Love my / our Club!

The principle matters!

100%, and if our arguments weren’t considered strong, we have a decision by now!

I’ve always loved the game and our great Club! My love for the Club went to a new level with this morning’s decision to challenge the JVR decision …………. for the sake of justice and the integrity and good of the game.

I’m comforted by this statement on the MFC website: “The Club will consider all its options before accepting the Tribunal’s decision.”

Justice denied! And in one fell swoop, these these [censored]’oles change our great game forever!

Keeping in touch with Demonland, is keeping me away from the Budget speech. All credit to Demonland and Andy, for sorting my priorities!

Fair point, QD.

I don’t like how long this is taking. It should be clear cut in JVR’s favour.

Presumably the Casey players will have a pretty serious match sim on the weekend, and Salo can start to build some match conditioning. He’s had an extended break (thyroid & knee) and it will take time for him to become match fit. I’m really looking forward to his return, but I doubt it will be before the bye.

Fantastic show as usual guys. Thank you!

Thanks WWS. Maybe this pdf should be permanently pinned somewhere on Demonland.

Thanks MFC! That is the first critical step. The next is for the Tribunal to exercise some common sense and clear JVR. The alternative will (van) ruin our great game, which has withstood the test of time.

King and Montagna on ‘First Crack’ reckon Melbourne will appeal to the Tribunal, and JVR will be free to play next week. I hope they are correct! The integrity of the game is imperative!
