Conveniently leave out the next frame that clearly shows his shoulder collecting the head.

2016 the Dogs started the year with 7 consecutive games in a row at Marvel. It's rubbish. As I supporter of an non Victorian team I concede that Melbourne teams who share grounds with multiple teams will naturally get more games at those grounds. But it's messed up that interstate clubs get 2...

I'm not a fan, it's too heavily weighted in favour of the player. There needs to be a balance the other way where clubs can trade a player (if they are under contract) to the club that can offer them the best deal. Good on the tigers for getting him but it didn't sit well with me then and it...

A raised elbow is almost always considered intentional, plus it's off the ball. Let's be serious if Greene did that we would be racing to be the most outraged,, but it's a well liked player so Miers must be a diving dog. If Greene was considered low impact for the faintest of touches, if MRO...

I'd be staggered if this isn't downgraded to careless or just thrown out completely. People here see him look at the umpire and say he is checking if he can get away with it. He looks over and sees Razor Ray start signalling holding the ball and throws in an open hand and makes absolutely...

Seeing what you want to see, I don't see any fingers near eyes. We've reached peak stupidity with this one, we've basically turned into a Twitter feed. He ain't getting anything more than a fine for this, looks more like a fist but to me looks like force is not very high, especially on that...

So he has, missed that in the initial article. To me this says the AFL are going after him for unnecessary contact to the face as eye gouging is specifically listed as direct to the tribunal in the 2019 guidelines. I'm guessing hair pulling (misconduct), contact to the face (1 game) and they...

ROFL the salt levels from Dogs supporters is astronomical. I've watched the vision multiple times, the ch7 vision is better but their junk at the bottom blocks some of the vision. I suspect if it was any other player we wouldn't be claiming eye gouging. No doubt he puts his hand on or near...

Never seen so many Dogs supporters in one place. Bont is lucky, didn't look like much but late, high and resulted in a serious injury. Interestingly I am sure last year there was a week when the MRO findings were much later than usual as they were waiting for a medical report from a club.

Media report ridiculous rumours about a punch on between player and coach and that's fine. Media don't report a ridiculous rumour about a gambling situation at Collingwood, yeah that's being investigated by the police....

Absolutely he deserved a bigger suspension, nearly 50% of the suspension was suspended. So he was able to place multi bets on 3 different games, involving things he had influence over and only got 12 weeks. Heath Shaw placed 1 bet on 1 game and got 10. He should have gotten 12 months, got off...

How did Mason Wood escape a fine for staging last night? Got a shoulder in the chest then well after contact, the players are separated at this point, he throws his head back and crumples to the ground winning a 50m penalty. A little staging turned a non incident into a shot on goal.

Fancy a Richmond supporter wanting a suspension after X amount of fines. Brought in after Fyfe got suspended for something minor, scrapped after it almost cost Cotchin a spot in the GF when they could have fined him but couldn't because they already fined him twice.

One of the games this weekend (GC v Richmond maybe?), One player kicks it very short to another player, paid the mark, kicks it straight back... Not 15? Does make me laugh sometimes.

Bumps a player as he disposes it, even if he doesn't have the ball that is legal as the ball is within 5m, it's probably within 30cm at point of contact which was inside the line. I don't buy this second action nonsense, looked like every other bump. Anyway you look at it, medium impact to the...

2 weeks? Hahaha please. I was expecting something really violent based on it going to the tribunal even though it's an offence that has a classification. But watch the incident McKernan steps on his foot (accidentally I'm guessing) and Stratton overreacted and did it back. It's real primary...

Sending it to the tribunal and calling it Serious Misconduct is surely to appease the media. It is a pretty low act, but serious misconduct? It is actually called out in the Tribunal Guidelines as a $1500 fine. Also I like how stomping is now back to serious misconduct. Sicily did it =...

McDonald jumped and Howe kicked out his foot straight out and put his studs in his back. I don't see why anyone is upset about it to be honest. Very rarely is a speccy taken by raising your studs like that, it wasn't like he jumped on his back, the action seemed unnecessary even if it was only...

Sprigs? The rule is 17.7.2 if you wanna look it up. Ive got no problem with the free kick, could have even called it a push in the back. Wasn't a standard speccy, was essentially an uncontested mark except he put his studs in someone's back.

So what was he trying to do? A striking action like that is always intentional.

I reckon a week, striking action, intentional, high contact, low impact. 1 week.

MRO has already reviewed and said no case to answer.

I reckon if you got a list of all the umpires in the AFL, he is easily in the top handful. Sure he has a bit of a character, but at least he is known for that character and not being a rubbish umpire like some.

Also teams are more willing to just concede kicks to the pocket, feel like we see more short kicks from a kick in than before. No idea if that's actually true. But I agree this has had no tangible impact on the game, just a pointless rule.

At the end of the first quarter, as the players are walking off and Robinson is giving the umpire a mouthful, Rhys Mathieson comes up behind Gallucci and elbows him in the head. I'm on my phone so it's difficult to get a screenshot but it's there in the replay on the AFL app, happens with about...

If Michael Christian grades it differently to last week he should be sacked, almost identical to last week.

Not sure how anyone can defend it and say he didn't intentionally shake the post. The word "intentionally" would most likely be specified in the rule to differentiate between people who intentionally make contact with the post and those that accidentally bump into it as part of a contest...

The media defence around this was just embarassing. Started the minute it happened and didn't stop. Even heard Kevin Bartlett say he immediately apologized and that shows he didn't mean it. Uh ok, he turned around and gave Shiel a look of "C'mon mate, get up", he also jumped at him after he...

Hipwoods was in a marking contest and was barely late, actually hit the ball out of his hands as well as making high contact, it's clearly careless. Jake Lloyd stays on the ground for similar time to Shiel and others this year which is consistent with low impact. It's obviously high...

Literally happened last well, Google it, it's not that hard. Similar incidents in that both players got their opponents with an elbow to the head. There is nothing in it but Cousins, Dusty, Grimes all got a week for very low impact hits to the head with an elbow.
