Viney taking advantage, kicking on his right foot to a 3 on nobody and we still manage to get a goal out of it.

So much for the midfield group stepping up to cover Clarry not being there. Hopeless.

Lever could have bundled the guy over and they might have paid a Port free based on how it was going tbh

We've won a premiership within the past 2 years so tall poppy syndrome applies. Why would the footy media cover it when the majority wouldn't want to watch coverage about how we were hard done by? AFL media will promote whatever angle gets the most clicks. That's their entire business model.

He slipped while trying to kick a ball off the deck in the wet. Your hyperbole is not necessary.

Front on contact doesn't get paid at AO.

They had 3 marks paid in the last quarter that either hit the ground or clearly came off a teammate. 2 within the last 2 minutes.

Please. One was a high tackle in the rain when he is coached to be strong at the contest - completely understandable. I'll assume the other that you're referring to is the 'high contact' free that he gave away when he pushed someone in the chest and they grabbed their chin and went down like they'd been shot.

https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/1331730/sparrow-offered-one-match-sanction Does anyone know when this occurred in the last quarter? I would love to pull up some vision.

Jeff Gleeson can GAGF, honestly.

If they feel the need to recap the entire hearing, it feels like justification for their BS.

So many guests

"However we also find that a reasonable player would have foreseen that in spoiling the way he did, it would have almost inevitably resulted in a forceful blow to Ballard's head." We're honestly one step away from banning players for injuring themselves. "We also find that a reasonable player would have forseen that in jumping for the ball in the way they did, it would have almost inevitably resulted in them forcefully hitting their head on the ground. We therefore must uphold the decision to ban them for 2 matches."

Challenge the high impact for sure. Just because he went off on a stretcher does not make it high impact. He had no concussion and would likely have walked off had he not apparently felt something in his neck. As soon as the doctor hears that they essentially have to call the stretcher which means he can't come back on the field.

How has Jack Viney of all players not had a tackle?

I can see Fritsch getting subbed for Harmes here We need more at the contest

Some very wholesome content from the club for your Saturday afternoon.

Petty and JVR have played about 2.5 games together up forward including tonight, and on the basis of forward half ball movement tonight I'd hardly judge them.

Tomlinson lmao I genuinely hope you're joking

You know the umpiring is absolutely woeful when 100% of the neutrals are saying the same thing

I have no idea what is going on with our structure right now. JVR popping up at full back? Is Grundy injured?

5 minutes off according to the radar.

Melksham has 2 goals, could have easily been 3. Tmac has 2 touches, 0 marks, 0 tackles.

Spargo ducked into it, so not a free. Why didn't a single forward try and spoil that through for a behind? So lazy.

Spargo called for it then fell over.
