Posting a link like that is ridulous. Our great game would be very ordinary if it wasn't for umpires. I propose that any work mates of jarnott10 start a facebook campaign the next time he has a bad day a work. It's only fair right??

Our game's ordinary when the umpires don't umpire. Today was a pretty good example.

I don't really know where to start. I feel worse than two weeks ago.

Green showed again why he shouldn't be captain.

[censored] the umpires.

Watts is a legend.

Martin is a legend.

Goldstein and Harvey are free kick hunting [censored].

I don't know what else to say.

Edit: [censored] Dangerfield. Knew I forgot something.

6 - Stefan Martin

5 - Neville Jetta

4 - Colin Sylvia

3 - Jack Watts

2 - James Frawley

1 - Nathan Jones

I've tipped North, but I have no idea who's going to win.

To be honest, I went based on form and tipped North...

From a realistic point of view, Hawkins was contesting the mark, Toovey ran against the flight of the ball. [censored] happens in those situations.

From a Melbourne/AFL supporter, the Tomahawk is gonna get his butt kicked at the tribunal.

(creates thread on Tom Hawkins and how he should get 10 weeks for knocking Toovey out cold)

A pies player (did not catch who) grabs ling by the arm and drags him to the ground without the ball and slams Ling into the ground, shoulder out.

Must be cited and suspended.

Ling seems to be okay at the moment. Had no trouble putting on the red vest at the moment.

Would say if Ling was still in trouble it should definitely have gotten weeks.

Lucas Cook to continue to play in the backline because of Fevlola.

We need our own VFL team...

I want a FREE TRENGOVE t-shirt!

Good idea...

Who comes in for Trengove?

Jetta I'd imagine, depends on the decision tonight.

* B: James Frawley, Matthew Warnock, Clint Bartram

* HB: Nathan Jones, Colin Garland, Luke Tapscott

* C: Ricky Petterd, Lynden Dunn, Brad Green

* HF: Colin Sylvia, Liam Jurrah, Addam Maric

* F: Jordan Gysberts, Jack Watts, Aaron Davey

* Foll: Stefan Martin, Brent Moloney, Jack Trengove

* I/C: Michael Newton, Austin Wonaeamirri, Jamie Bennell, Rohan Bail

* Emg: Matthew Bate, Neville Jetta, Joel Macdonald

* In: Michael Newton, Stefan Martin, Jamie Bennell

* Out: Matthew Bate, Mark Jamar, Jack Grimes

According to DemonsHQ Twitter:

Tune in to SEN at 5.40 pm tonight to listen to @Beamdogg (Brent Moloney) or 3AW at 6.10 pm with @BradGreen18.

Should be worth a listen while we follow the Trengove appeal.

Would've thought it would be Moloney 10, Sylvia 8, then the rest.

And no votes to Petterd...

Interesting how the Fat Controller has been quiet on this issue.......

Good point.

Can't wait to see what happens tomorrow.

Trengove can be named in the starting 22 on Thursday. If the suspension remains, he will be replaced with an emergency by Friday at noon.

key word was LEGALLY

Well, I just made myself look stupid...

If there's a fine for taking this further, I'm contributing.

Indeed. I'm surprised Dunn hasn't been, but he's expendable anyway.

Dunn did ruck at the centre bounce at one point against Adelaide.

RIP.

Anyone up for chess?

[censored], I have Jamar in my SC team and have made two trades this week!

That's why you make them Friday night.

(Mostly) Melbourne fans and players absolutely unleashing on Twitter. This will be huuuuuge.

Might make a banner, but I'm sitting level 3...

just legally download it. I think the AFL website lets you stream the game.

Or you could not legally download it...not that I'm discussing illegally downloading AFL games on Demonland

Tinney now summing up. He says: in the past this tackle would have been seen as acceptable. But football as changed. It must be decided in the context of the rules as they now apply, not as they used to apply.

Tinney reading through the rules on when a tackle may be considered unreasonably dangerous. Relevant here is that the arm of the player was being held, which made it 'a tackle of an inherently dangerous kind'. Dangerfield was unable to control his movements or protect his head. Also to be considered, 'a player may not be slung or driven into the ground with an excessive level of force'. Tinney suggesting the same outcome could have been achieved with considerably less force than was used.

Doesn't look great.

Trengove now recalling a tackle on Brodie Smith in the very next sequence of play. Says he used the exact same technique in that tackle with no consequence.

Beauty.

Tinney will find a way to give him three weeks, though.
