Pies beat the Hawks by a goal ... 15.16 to 14.16.
Only a practice match but hardly convincing by the Pies. The Pies defenders were setting up for the deep long kick and the Hawks were able to find targets 40 out by lowering their eyes.
Markov by the way had 8 possies and in the last qtr one poor turnover across HB which gifted the Hawks a goal.

Trying to understand why the media are pumping up Port this year :huh3.
Geelong seemed to still be on their flag hangover.
Ashcroft impressive for the Lions. Going to be hard to beat for the rising star.

Maybe because of that entitled adolescent turd they recruited?
Gee I hope Geelong falls of a cliff or ceases to exist.

Easy!
Coach in the final year of his contract
Pump up so it gives the media a weekly headline until he gets sacked
They target a coach every year, it's Kenny's turn this year

Ah! The old build them up then tear them down media trick. Oh well, it's not us so one less opponent to worry about :yep.

Geez, the bits of Saints vs Bombers game I saw was ugly to watch. You wouldn't think either will threaten the Top 8. Bombers with just 3 goals are bottom 4 bound once again based on that lol.
-
Got to love how defensive footy is now seen as a bad thing by the commentators. A game with no tackling isn't a good thing.
-
Carnage tonight.
Howe broken arm after colliding with Stengle. He was in agony on the ground withering in pain. Ch7 rightly didn't show any more.
Stewart knee (medial?)
Stengle (concussion?)
De Koning hurt his knee as well but he's come back on.
-
I reckon Howe has a compound fracture of his L) ulnar and radius just near his elbow, looks quite displaced. Should be in surgery within hours at most.
Bit of a shoot out otherwise. Happy for them to hurt themselves a bit (not like Howe tho)

Yep, Howe's left arm copped the full force of his body as he landed and snapped :P. Just horrible :P.
-
Geelong played like a bunch of millionaires and got what they deserved. Ridiculously accurate kicking (16.1 at one stage) hid their poor defending. A shootout might be good to watch for commentators and neutrals but that first half was bruise free March footy. Once the Pies improved their pressure from halfway through the 3rd quarter, the Cats goals dried up, and the Pies overran them.
-
Don't rate Collingwood that much but glad pussies lost.
A curse on them please.

Port smash Brisbane by 54 points
Kenny out of the media's firing line for this week at least
Fagan has his contract extended, so maybe the media will go after him?
-
Kosi Pickett should get 6+ weeks for his hit on Bailey Smith. A 70s/80s late cheap shot on par with Stewart on Prestia. So, Pickett will probably only get 4 weeks and be back for Anzac Eve.

Another repeat performance like that from the Lions and the drums will start beating for Fagan's head contract or not.
JHF had 25 possies, most clearances (7), 3 tackles, 2nd most metres gained (532), 3 assists and a goal for Port today. Yet, Norf wouldn't play him in their wooden spoon side :stupid.

1 match you must be effing kidding me
They need to look at action, no result.
That should be 3-4 minimum.
Smith being tough shouldn't work in his favour.
-
Well Pickett has been offered 2 weeks, not harsh enough but better that 1week ( just)
Dons thrash Hawthorn. So after round 1 sit atop of the ladder. Going to be very long season for the Hawks
Freo lose to the Saints
Interesting round 1

The Match Review Officer graded Pickett's bump as careless conduct, high impact and high contact, leading to the two-game ban.
https://www.afl.com.au/news/885530/match-review-pickett-franklin-learn-fates-as-four-players-cited
Buddy copped only a week for his head high bump by the way.
Franklin's bump on Gold Coast defender Sam Collins during the final quarter of the Swans' 49-point victory was adjudged careless conduct, medium impact and high contact, triggering a one-game ban.
-
The MRO as inconsistent as ever.
Adelaide's Shane McAdam sent straight to the tribunal for his bump on Giant Jacob Wehr.
Careless conduct, severe impact, high contact = 3+ matches and Tribunal.

Clear again that the outcome has to much impact on these decisions
-
I thought picketts was worse tbh
-
Appears they tweaked the interpretation
Get someone in the head and the require a concussion test and it is automatically considered severe. That's why McAdam goes straight to the tribunal
But think Pickett's was just as bad if not worse, there was no doubt what he was trying to do...coward
-
This sarcastic tweet sums things up. Clear as mud.
Why is every one so confused?
Franklin - Bumps, player is concussed - 1 week
Pickett - Bumps, player isn't assessed, isn't concussed but could have been - 2 weeks
McAdam - Bumps, player is assessed, isn't concussed but could have been - 3 weeks
Easy. #MRO #AFL

Breaking: the @Adelaide_FC will appeal the tribunal’s 3 match ban on Shane McAdam. The club is furious with the decision. I believe coach Matthew Nicks is very unhappy and rightly so. They’ll fight it. @9NewsAdel

Only problem is McAdam got him on the chin a bit.
If he'd missed the chin I'd be saying play on.
Bump getting ironed out of the game so much that blokes don't even bother bracing or protecting themselves when going for a loose ball - and I think the game is less interesting because of that.
Protect yourself at all times, ball was in play and within proximity so the option to bump is definitely there just do it cleanly.
Pickett's bump was late = should be the 3 game ban of the week.

Blues so far winning the midfield 50/50s but have let the Cats off the hook on the scoreboard.
-
Cats look slow and somewhat disinterested
-
Hate him, but sniper Cameron nearly got them over the line
-
I'm kind of happy to see Geelong get done again, but gees don't Carlton get an armchair ride from the umps? So many soft as butter frees set Carlton up for the win ... :-\
-
Cats look slow and somewhat disinterested
Geelong too reliant on too few so far this year: Cameron, Cam Guthrie, Dangerfield, Holmes and Smith. A number of the Cats look like they are one-year wonders: Rohan, Stengle and Close have done nothing in the first two rounds. Stanley is back to being the spud he was when we played Geelong in finals in our flag years. Other Cats which they have brought in make costly mistakes at crucial times such as Bowes missing from just 20m out. The Blues did their best to try and lose the game in the last quarter too, but Geelong still couldn't get over them. Hello premiership hangover!
In the final quarter, the Cats lead the inside 50 count 17-4 with a 9-1 advantage in forward half intercepts and a 7-2 lead in shots at goal but have recorded forward half kicking efficiency of only 47 percent.
https://www.afl.com.au/afl/matches/4795#timeline
Another loss next week and SHocking will probably want to change the rules again ::).
ps. We'll find out on Saturday if our game last week against Carlton was actually decent in hindsight.
-

This was a disgraceful decision. 4 umps on the ground yet they all imagined the tackle was high when it clearly wasn't.
https://twitter.com/FOXFOOTY/status/1638825597827969024
Compare that to our players who actually cop head high contact and the muppets just wave their arms and call play on :thumbsdown.

Brisbane making Melbourne look very average so far. Gawn off the ground early with a possible medial obviously helps the Lions with Grundy now having to do all the ruck work for the Dees and no Gawn to intercept any down the line kicks.
-
Could be the media clickbait as there's no confirmation yet but Jon Ralph saying Melbourne hasn't ruled out Gawn having done his ACL.
-
Bang! Lights out at the Gabba :o.
Looks like a globe in one of the main light towers is on fire.
-
Back on
Why?
Demons have kicked 3 and it's back to 3 goals
Brisbane need to switch on. Just going through the motions...
-
The Lions were asleep when they came back. 40 points back down to 11 in the end. Well, it was worth it for the rest of the comp. Means no big percentage win for Brisbane.
-
You can't play a free flowing shootout against the Pies. Port offering no pressure.
ps. Got to love how the umps love the Pies. 16 frees in a quarter and a half. We're lucky to get that many for an entire match ::).
-
Freo were stiff. Could have been paid deliberate against Norf on the siren inside Freo's F50.
Mind you if you lose to Norf you get what you deserve as we learnt last year :P. And it's better for us anyway if the likes of Freo,
who were expected to challenge for a spot in the finals, are still winless.
-
Saints pressure looks elite and guess what?
They are dominating even wit 11 senior players missing.

Terrible call by the umps, that should have been deliberate as the ball went out before the siren but they hadn't made the call before the siren went it seems
I don't rate Freo and they are the side I reckon will fall this year but have to feel for them they got a shocker there
-
I think I've accidentally pressed Red for a Timmy Watson biased call, I can't seem to switch it off.
-
Eagles down the Giants :gobdrop
Hawks are a rabble. Seriously cannot see them winning a game

Hope Naughton kicks like this next week. Dogs keeping the Lions in it so far this quarter.
-
#Freekickbulldogs is alive & well tonight! Absolute armchair ride …. :-\
-
Brisbane players were either selfish or passengers. Too many burning teammates trying to be the hero. Worse one was Daniher in the last quarter trying to kick one around the corner when he had Cameron alone in the goalsquare. Would've given the Lions the momentum.
Dogs played as if it was their grand final. Just more desperate trying avoid going 0-3. Whatever happens against the Pies tonight, we've got be switched on next week. We don't want to allow the Dogs to turn next week into a low scoring scrap.
Anyway, last night was a good result for us. Keeps both teams below us.

No ruck = lose the contested ball = no Pies. Their outside runners can't run off stoppages in waves if they aren't winning it out of the source.
I wonder also if the media this week will claim Brisbane got "lucky" because the Pies kicked inaccurately again ::). Bad kicking is bad footy.
Brisbane are Jeckyll and Hyde and struggle away from the Gabba.
Anyway, tonight's result opens up the top of the ladder again.
-
As I predicted today when doing my footy tips and folks laughed the every flaky Lions beat the Pies
Was always going to happen

My tipping this year has sucked :P.

I thought for sure the lions would stuff up but I guess not.

Was really enjoying tonight's game until the umpire's anointed Carlton the winners in the 3rd quarter.

Yep, there a number of dodgy frees that went Carlton's way.
Softest free to Curnow 10m out.

12 steps being paid "running too far" against Norf which saved Carlton from a goal.

Absolutely.

-
Gee I dunno, could you imagine a Grand Final being decided by that? He should be allowed to put it on the ground and not have to kick it back. As long as he doesn't throw it further away the team should get their own damn ball. One day a big, exhausted ruckman will fluff his kick returning the ball for a free kick in a big final and the 50m will turn it into the winning goal with a minute on the clock. Won't be a good look.
-
Dixon kicked it over his head quite deliberately.
Handball it or kick it properly that's the rule. Straight back.
-
Gawd Hawthorn are garbage.
-
15.10 to 1.3 after half-time. Hawks just gifted the Cats a massive % boost.
LOL at Jeremy Cameron too busy celebrating to the crowd, running into the boundary umpire and coming off second best :laugh:.
-
Turned on the telly after half time as it looked like the Hawks might be a show
Turned it off again pretty quick
-
First half was good football, really enjoyed it and was hoping for an upset.
-
So what penalty does Cameron cop for making contacting with an umpire? I know the media are joking about it but it is a reportable offence
He had a duty of care
Straight to the tribunal? Or just a little fine?
-
Geelong so the MRO will ignore it :whistle.

I have no issue with it being let go. Just the hypocrisy of the media and roulette nature of the MRO. Imagine the media uproar and MRO reaction if that was Lynch instead of Cameron who blindly collided with a boundary umpire.
There's also the Geelong discount.
Rohan gets only one week for a sling tackle that occurred after about 3 whistles.
Stewart got the same punishment as Broad despite deliberately taking a player (Prestia) out of the game off the ball. Should have been 6-8 weeks minimum.
Dangerfield nothing (not even a citing) for KOing Vlastuin.
Geelong so the MRO will ignore it :whistle.
-
Seeing Carlton getting flogged is always fun :rollin.
Actually, that first quarter reminded me of us in that Monday game in 1995 when we kicked the first 6 goals in 10 mins.
-
Tex is a still a "look at me" hog. Lucky for him the Crows are six goals ahead.
LOL @ McKay. Open goal and he stuffs it up :lol.

Dogs rolled in the last 15 minutes with Port kicking the last 4 goals. Not an excuse for us losing but I wonder how much the week before in the wet affected both us and the Doggies, given we both fell away.

Freo vying with us for most underperforming side of the season so far. They are struggling to score as well.

Tonight's game is showing how poorly we started and played last week against the Swans. The last 3 weeks we haven't turned up to play with the intensity required.

Exactly WP. We lost and conceded 18 goals to a side that the following week is pumped by 93 points, kicks just 5 goals for the entire game including none after half-time. Pathetic by us last week :thumbsdown.

What a weak minded club with everything to play for.
Weak. Weak. Weak.
Losers will talk about improving and the journey. GTFO
Excuses been made for 20 years.
Disgrace to the ANZACs. ■■■■■■■ spineless, take the game off us and give to someone else to spare us the heartbreak every year
Its all between the ears with this club. Mentally cooked
Give the game away to some other team.
I am over losing on anzac day.
■■■■■■■ disgusting. 7 goal to none last quarter? Get ■■■■■■, Essendon
I hate everyone and everything.
We are going nowhere. Once again, as always that is a soul killing loss that sets us back another 12 months.
If I could take a tablet that would wipe my brain of any connection to Essendon I would in a heart beat.
Had enough of this P***weak Club. Every week we have to put up with hacks that don’t perform and we are asked to be patient. Heppell is woeful, yet, the hack twin keeps picking him.
I knew I was wrong to believe in this club again.
Ooh, we’re 4-1 and beat Melbourne, maybe we’re good?
Ooh, we’re 28 points up at three quarter time on Anzac day, surely we are good?..
Nup, still the same ■■■■pile of a club as we have been for decades.
We’ll always be ■■■■. We’ll occasionally tease that we’re not, but in the end…
We’re ■■■■. To the core.

Exactly, WP. We've lost and drawn to a number of very ordinary teams this year. Which says more about us. We're currently bottom 4 for a reason.
-
The Dees get over the line by 5 pts thanks to two dodgy non-calls in the Suns' forward line and a miss by Macpherson with a chance to tie the game with 30 secs to go. Not sure how Gawn was allowed a two-handed push on Chol while Mabs was jumping in the air in the marking contest?
-
Can't remember a more disparate goalkicking display in a game than Port 7.16 to Ess 10.1. Imagine having 23 shots to 11 and being behind. And I thought our goalkicking this year was arguably worst in the comp! :o.
Edit: Port finally just kicked a goal and have hit the front.
-
Looking back, how did we lose by 7 goals to the Swans? Freo has just comfortably knocked them off at the SCG. An indictment on us :P and just shows how woeful we were prior to the past two wins.
-
Didn’t we give away 50m penalties and free kicks when scores were tied?
-

Yep, it was a complete stuff up of a game. That's why it was such a disgraceful effort. Add to the above, goal gifting brainfades in D50, no pressure in the midfield, and us missing simple set shots up forward. Hopefully, after the past two weeks, that sort of soft pitiful performance is now behind us and never seen again.
-
Saints' bubble bursting?
Anyway, makes our win over the Crows in Adelaide look even better. Only one of two teams to do it.

Extraordinary scenes as the Roos give away a free kick and 50m following a bench infringement, costing them the match.
https://twitter.com/FOXFOOTY/status/1659811936547266563
Will Phillips was rotation 75 and Liam Shiels (who appeared to have cramp) 76.
There are two I/C stewards on a bench in between the teams. One focuses on each club. Their sole job is to count rotations.
When the number reaches 75, the iPad digits turn from black to red. Both benches + coaches' boxes can see this.
So teams don't play with 17, an injured player can be replaced after the rotation cap of 75 has been hit. But that injured player cannot return to the field. Clubs can replace up to three injured players. The I/C is cap is effectively 75 + 3 injuries.

Brett Ratten won’t blame his club’s interchange stewards for the Round 10 loss to Sydney, telling reporters post-game that North Melbourne had its chances.
... speaking about the heartbreaking loss, North Melbourne’s seventh in a row, Brett Ratten wouldn’t identify the shock rule breach as the key issue.
“We'll review it and work out how we can do some things better, but we won't focus on that. We had our chances,” he told reporters.

Opens up 7th and 8th spots on the ladder if we can win tonight.

Can't believe this I tipped freo and changed with 19min before the bounce lol
-
The League has since confirmed to AFL.com.au that North Melbourne officials had been required to void the initial interchange breach, leading to Tom Powell returning to the bench after McLean's goal.
Powell had initially replaced Will Phillips as the club's 76th change, however when he returned to the bench he was replaced by Liam Shiels. Just seconds earlier, Shiels had come from the field for Hugh Greenwood as the team's 75th change.
But the League has deemed the two alterations were made simultaneously enough that the Kangaroos could have elected to replace Powell with either Shiels or Phillips, thus no additional errors were made.
The AFL has also ticked off the way in which the game's umpires officiated the initial interchange breach, with North Melbourne officials taking full ownership of the error after the game.
A team is not allowed to make an additional rotation after the cap of 75 unless the player exiting the game has left due to a head injury assessment, blood rule, stretcher rule or for a medical assessment.
In this case, neither Phillips nor Shiels fit that criteria meaning that North Melbourne was unable to make the 76th rotation. It ultimately led to the club's heartbreaking defeat, which was its eighth consecutive loss.

On current form it's the Pies flag to lose. It's going to be sickening to watch if it pans out that way :chuck. The top non-Vic teams struggle at the 'G (a decent side would've beaten Port today), while the only other Melbourne-based club in the running looks to be the Dees and they're up and down this year.

The Blues became the first team to successfully overturn a dangerous tackle ban at the Tribunal, with Adam Cerra free to face Melbourne on Friday night.
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FxXQDp6akAA7e1b?format=jpg&name=900x900)
They argued against the incident being rough conduct, against the incident being a dangerous tackle, and if those fail against the impact grading seeking to lower it from medium to low - a unique case given typically clubs just argue against rough conduct and not also the dangerous tackle.
Cerra noted Luke Parker was pushing him into Sydney’s Tom Hickey before the contest and argued he had “not much grip” on the ruckman.
“I didn’t pin his arms. I didn’t get a grip on the tackle at all. I had fingers around his left tricep and the other arm around his back,” the Blue said.
“I had no other option. Parker on my back, pushing me into his path. With his (Hickey) force coming through, I didn’t have any other option.”
He added, when questioned by Lisa Hannon for the AFL: “I didn’t feel I was in a position of power to use my strength to bring him to ground, it was more his momentum coming through me.”
The scrutiny was on whether Cerra was holding or controlling Hickey, with the Blue arguing: “I wasn’t really grabbing anything to let go of. I was taking in his force.”
Hannon argued: “This isn’t a case of accidental head impact, but a case of almost inevitable head impact ... a reasonable player wouldn’t have considered it prudent to continue to hang on in a rotating tackle.”
However the Blues blamed Hickey for focusing more on possession of the footy than protecting himself.
“Hickey chose to clutch onto the ball. I’ve been told in football it’s called ‘ball security”,” Peter O’Farrell said.
“That was a choice that Hickey made. Instead of releasing the ball and putting his arm out, he chose to hold onto the ball.”
He added: “The size of Hickey is best described as something like that of an oil tanker.”
Tribunal chair Jeff Gleeson responded: “Please tell me you’re not going to call Cerra a tug boat.”
O’Farrell later argued: “Hickey has got long hair. The panel should be careful and not be distracted by the head movement of a player with long hair.”
But the AFL dismissed the Blues' suggestion Cerra had little to no impact on the tackle.

https://twitter.com/FOXFOOTY/status/1664890327080247297
De Goey has to get 4 weeks for that. It should be sent straight to the tribunal.
-
Has to be 4.
Let’s hope they start to unravel a bit. Few injuries few suspension
-
Let's hope so Frankie.
The Suns are doing well now by the way. Hard to see Dew losing his job if they end up playing finals.
This year is wide open especially for the lower half of the top 8. Sadly, another year wasted by us by having a shocker :(.
-
Yes. We need cats and the dees to provide some competition to even it out.
Lions have no chance at the G, ditto crows so I have it down to 3.
As a side note did everyone notice a cats up and coming star. Bruhn. I’m pretty sure this is the guy they got gifted by the suns in their salary cap
dump.
He laid 12 tackles and looks very good, I hope Blair and co get off whatever they have been smoking the last few years and actually do some descent trades this year. Clarke arrived in 3016 and one would argue the best players we have were selected by old mate Frankie Jackson so Clarke needs to get back to his 2016 levels.

Jordan De Goey faces a ban of at least three matches and is ineligible for the Brownlow Medal after being referred to the Tribunal.
His bump that concussed West Coast youngster Elijah Hewett on Saturday at Optus Stadium was graded careless conduct, severe impact and high contact, meaning the Tribunal will determine De Goey's fate.

-
How is that careless but not intentional?
-
Should get 4 weeks if the Tribunal is consistent. The Eagles player was concussed.
How is that careless but not intentional?
These are usually called careless as intentional is hard to prove unless a player thumps someone way off the ball. For intentional, the Tribunal would have to prove De Goey deliberately intended to bump the Eagles player in the head.

De Goey got 3 weeks.

Reasons for decision:
Penalty is a matter to be determined in our discretion, but we are mindful of the need for consistency with the table of penalties that apply for classifiable offences.
The table provides that this combination of gradings results in a sanction of ‘three-plus matches’. That is, three or more matches.
We take into account the following factors in particular:
1. There was considerable force in the bump due to the speed at which Hewett was moving and the acceleration of De Goey
2. Hewett suffered a concussion
3. Hewett had disposed of the ball immediately before he was bumped
4. The bump was late, but due to the speed at which both players were moving, it was a split second late. We find that the breach of the duty of care was clear, but not egregious
5. De Goey has expressed remorse and we consider this to be genuine
6. De Goey has accepted that the impact was severe
In all the circumstances, we do not consider the matter requires a higher sanction than the three weeks base sanction that applies for this grading.
This was another head injury that was avoidable. A three-match is an appropriate sanction for this careless, rough conduct.

So a shoulder charge to the head < poorly executed tackle ::).
De Goey got off lightly especially as the AFL rep. wanted 4 weeks like Broad got.

You continuously reference back to Broad
Reckon you need to come to grips with just how putrid that tackle was. Far worse than other sling tackles you have referenced.
As for De Goey. Stewart is a far better guide and Stewart’s was worse. Personally I think Stewart should have got 5-6 and De Goey 4.
But with Stewart getting 4, then 3 is almost the mark

The AFL and its Tribunal said it would judge these cases which result in concussion to an opponent more severely this year. Giving De Goey 3 because Stewart only got 4 last year isn't that. I agree btw Stewart also got off lightly and should have got 6 weeks. That sniping was straight out of the 70s/80s.
Players have also known for years that if you choose to bump/snipe and get the opponent high you'll be in trouble let alone if you concuss them and take them out of the game. The crackdown on sling tackles is relatively new by comparison. Only 2-3 years ago it would've been classed as a strong tackle and nothing to see here. Broad's 4 weeks was meant to send a message to the rest of the comp. that if you concuss an opponent by your own stupid actions then you'll cop a severe penalty. Yet tonight the Tribunal has gone light.
Broad concusses his opponent = 4 weeks
McAdam doesn't concuss his opponent = 3 weeks
De Goey concusses his opponent = 3 weeks
Pickett doesn't concuss his opponent = 2 weeks
Seems the old "star player gets treated more leniently" factor was/is in play.
The AFL counsel tonight brought up Broad as a precedent by the way and wanted 4 weeks. It was the Tribunal that took the week off.
Woods (AFL) says the league took into account De Goey's guilty plea when deciding on a proposed ban of four matches.
Woods (AFL) says there is similarity (but not the same incident) with Shane McAdam's bump on Jacob Wehr in Round 1.
That was three matches. Woods says the injury to Hewett here means it should be bumped up to four matches.
Woods (AFL) points to Nathan Broad's dangerous tackle on Patrick Parnell, which received a four-match ban.
Reasoning from Tribunal then: Players must do all they reasonably can not to cause avoidable injuries to their fellow players.

-
Absolutely laughable. All I’m reading is genuine remorse this and that.
This is an out and out joke. So this year they were supposed to be going harder then the penalty should have been 4 weeks.
Broady even Bachir copped 4, this bloke shows “remorse” and gets 3. Pathetic
-
Would've been in more trouble if he just groped the bloke.... :shh
-
Or called him King Kong. That would have been be 8 weeks
A bump to the head is no biggie as long as he shows remorse.
-
Let's hope St Kilda's skills are like this next week against us. Swans are just as bad tonight.
Just 1 goal and 1 behind between two teams in a whole quarter. And I thought last Friday's night game was a low scoring shocker. This is uber worse :P. The stupid Stand rule is really boosting scoring ::).
-
Saints get two 50m and goals due to the Stand Rule to change the momentum of the game and the lead in the last quarter. While they were both there technically under the rules now, that's not why we watch footy :facepalm.

From the HeraldSun:
The AFL has told clubs the tackle is not dead after sending out an email this week to highlight correct tackle technique.
The Herald Sun can reveal the league distributed a memo illustrating how players have appropriately adjusted their tackle technique this season without slinging, dumping or driving their opponents’ heads into the ground.
The league on Tuesday reached out to clubs with footage of about 12 correct tackles to show players and coaches how they can tackle and dispossess an opposition player without making dangerous head contact.
In all of the examples there seems to be an awareness from the tackler not to upend the opponent or drive them into the ground head-first with their arms still pinned.
In some instances the players either let go of the opponents’ arms, decelerated during the tackle, or intentionally lowered themselves by dragging the opponent down at the waist.
In the email, the league commends the clubs for their ability to adjust their tackle technique this season, with more than 1000 tackles applied across every weekend.
The league said there had been a significant change in safe tackle technique over the past month where players have demonstrated a balance of defensive intensity and care for their opponents.
“Over the past several weeks we have seen a noticeable change in tackling technique with players showing a greater level of care to their opponents as they tackle them to ground,” the email said.
“The following link contains examples of players executing effective tackles whilst not placing their opponents in a vulnerable position, not applying excessive force in bringing their opponents to ground, releasing their opponent’s pinned arms prior to making contact with the ground and/or ensuring that their opponent’s head does not make contact with the ground or any such contact is minimised.
“We commend clubs for their focus on safe tackling technique and encourage GMs to reach out to us if they would benefit from support or clarification with respect to umpiring and/or the approach by MRO and Tribunal in relation to dangerous tackles.”
The first example shows Collingwood’s Beau McCreery drag down Richmond’s Liam Baker from the waist so the Tiger does not topple over head-first.
Melbourne’s James Jordon also drops at the knee when he rotates Liam Shiels in a tackle to carefully bring him into ground.
Western Bulldogs’ superstar Marcus Bontempelli is also highlighted for lowering himself to pull down Fremantle’s Jaeger O’Meara.
And St Kilda’s Brad Hill lets go of Blue George Hewett completely in a tackle near the boundary line, allowing the Carlton midfielder to put his arms out to brace for contact to prevent a nasty head knock.

Flashbacks to Waverley in 1996 against the Swans when Richo got pinged for shepherding when Andrew Dunkley (father of Josh) took a dive. Ball was going through half-goalpost height. No chance in hell of Dunkley ever getting near it. Cost us the game and in the long run finals as we missed out only by percentage.

Dan Butler’s suspension has been overturned. He is free to play against Richmond on Saturday.
Tribunal's reasons for decision:
We find that given the speed at which Butler was traveling and the angle from which he approached the tackle, it was inevitable that he would tackle Blakey to the ground.
The question is how did he execute the tackle? Was the method reasonable in all the circumstances? We’re not persuaded that this was a two-action tackle.
We consider that Butler did not drive Blakey into the ground with his legs. We note he had dropped to the side and had no real power from the commencement of the tackle.
We also find that he did not drive Blakey to the ground with his arms. Butler fell to the ground with Blakey as a result of the momentum of the tackle.
Butler released Blakey’s defensive arm towards the end of the tackling motion.
Butler made a conscious decision to release Blakey’s arm so that he might brace for impact.
The question is not whether he released it in time for it to be effective - thought we find that it did slightly help Blakey to brace for contact - the question is whether he did so as early as he reasonably could.
We find that he did.
Releasing an arm or not pinning an arm will not always be enough to avoid breaching the duty of care.
Here, the fact that the tackled player will be brought to ground was inevitable and unavoidable was an important consideration. We find that this was not a careless act and the charge is dismissed.

Can a good OER citizen provide the weekly link to Carlton fans blowing a gasket on footy call in radio please?
This is from a previous week including Blues fan Snapper lol.

Geelong losing is good for us.
The Cats again showing signs of a premiership hangover and lacking hunger. Up by 22 pts early on and then get rolled in the second half to lose by 38.
-
Is port the real deal though? I suspect they won't make it. They tend to do well during the H&A..
Makes me appreciate how hard we pushed them.
-
saturday is big. Lets be honest the previous 2 wins were against minnows in the scheme of things.
half a game out of the 8 if we win. Doubt crows beat pies.

they play the g better than the others bar sydney. I would give them a better chance to beat pies at the G than lions. Lions wouldnt get within 50 points of us at g in september.

The Cats won't have Dangerfield for a while it seems either.

Another team around us on the ladder loses (Sydney). So the onus is on us to make the most of it.

Jarrod Berry also was reported for rough conduct (sling tackle).

Wicks has been given 2 weeks by the MRO.
So the idiots think forearming someone in the head after they dispose of the ball is not as bad as simply protecting yourself when contesting a loose ball. What a joke!
-
GWS giving Freo an absolute pasting :o.
Results of other games this weekend going our way. Up to us now to make the most of it if we're good enough.
-
While it's good for us the Suns lost as we are now above them on the ladder, but thanks very much for gifting the Blues a percentage booster :chuck.
It's losses like today that will see Dew get the flick at year's end. The Suns as well as Freo are the most untrustworthy teams as far as tipping :P.

Tonight just shows you unfortunately can't prevent accidents happening in footy that result in concussion. If Rohan was an opponent of Cameron, he'd get at least 3 weeks under the current MRO/Tribunal crackdown. Cameron was knocked out before he hit the turf. 8 minute delay to the game to take him off on a stretcher.

One very average team are the Saints.

Another 100-pt thrashing coming up for the Eagles with the Swans up by 10 goals at half-time. Artificially giving teams % boosters.

Well Sydney literally just gained 15%
Makes you wonder why we couldn't belt them by at least 70

Yep. Ump paid advantage to the Pies (Mason Cox mark 40m out) after being sucked in to paying a free for Daicos staging that he was held after disposal and stopped from getting to the next play. Daicos and Pendlebury went up to the ump and said it should have been a free plus 50. Ump changed his mind and Daicos himself got to take the shot from 15m out.

Its good that the Collingwood players 'helped' the umpires to make the 'right' 'decision'.
Its the only way that those umpires are ever going to learn!
If you can't believe a Collingwood player when they tell you its their free kick with 50mtrs gifting them a soft goal during a nail biting finish then who can you believe? :-\ :huh
-
Diabolical.
I know umps stuff up but Sheesh you have to wear it when they do and hope they get their own feedback from their department.
Listening to players in this situation is 100% not on.

If it was a Richmond player doing that the free kick would have been reversed and a 50 against us for dissent
-
Yeah who knows how Collingwood became the darling of the AFL but stuff em. How can they ignore their own special treatment? Hope they lose it by a point too.
-
More evidence of Collingwood's special treatment.
--------------------------------
Adelaide captain Jordan Dawson should have been awarded a free kick in the dying seconds of the Crows' two-point loss to Collingwood, the AFL has conceded.
Controversy erupted in the desperate final moments, with Dawson denied a set shot to win the game after high contact from Collingwood's Jamie Elliott.
Crows ruckman Reilly O'Brien had driven the ball inside 50, where it was gathered by Dawson, who was immediately crashed into by Elliott.
The League's head of umpiring, Dan Richardson, said in a statement on Monday afternoon that the call had been missed by the field umpires, who had a "restricted view of the contest".

Swans' poor goalkicking keeping Geelong in it. Should be 4-5 goals up.
-
Swans-Cats finished a draw!
Suddenly percentage becomes important the night after we insipidly cough up -7% in an 81 point flogging :P.
-
Stuff me just seen the shortest ever kick get paid a mark
Came of Moores foot and went 4 metres to King who kicked a goal.
4 stuffing idiots out there and they couldn’t see that, makes no difference to the result in this game but it is an indictment on how bad the umpiring is.
Luckily though most aren’t allowed to comment on it tho.
All hail the AFL dictatorship
-
I hate Collingwood with a passion like any Tiger supporter, but today's game just reinforces that I just don't see how any of the top interstate sides get near them on the 'G :P. If Brisbane can't beat a bottom 3 side at the 'G as well as cough up 8 of the last 9 goals, then how will they knock off the Pies in a Prelim or Granny there?!
Tonight is another example. Even if Port come back to win tonight, they have struggled at the 'G against a middle of the road side.
-
#loldruggos :shh
-
That was an insane finish. Kicking a 55m goal after the siren with a wet footy is a fair effort by Houston :o.
Glad the Bombers lost :lol and it's better for us as it keeps more spots in the Eight open. I just don't want to see the Pies gifted an easy flag because Brisbane and Port come back to the field at the 'G :chuck.
-
Thanks Dan Houston

Geez the Hawks are hopeless when Sicily isn't playing. A soft 10 goal victory gift to Carlton. Too bad he'll be back when we play them in 3 weeks (unless he gets himself suspended again the week before lol).

The Eagles put their numbers behind the ball and didn't kick a goal in the last 40-45 minutes of the game.
If the Saints do make the finals then they will slaughtered by any of the other top 8 sides.

Another away 100-point loss coming up for the Eagles. Brisbane already 9 goals up at half-time.
At least the Doggies losing last night keeps spots open in the Eight for us.

Giants held on despite getting smashed in the clearances.
Carnage for the Saints tonight. They've lost Max King (shoulder), Ross (hammy) and Cordy (concussion) and that was before half-time.
-
If the Saints weren't shaky before tonight then they are now. If Max King has redone his shoulder then it's unlikely he'll be back this year.
Melbourne lucky so many Saints went down early. The Dees didn't play that well except for their intercepting defenders.
Both sides are gettable if we play them in their current form.
Port beat the Suns as expected, so we jump back above Gold Coast.
-
Max King confirmed as out for the year. Massive loss for the Saints.
Bombers up by 6 goals iat HT in a shootout. The Crows are a Jekyll and Hyde team. Win at home but not away. Like us under Geisch in 1998.
Stengle kicked 5 goals for the Cats. Norf as useless and irrelevant as ever.
-
Freo gifting Carlton a 10 goal % boost. Stuffed up a perfect round of tipping :P.

The Swannies beating the Dogs keeps the bottom half of the Top 8 wide open. So, a good result for us provided we of course win on Sunday.
ps. the "Stand" rule is really encouraging poor goalkicking technique. Not sure what Will Hayward was doing trying to kick around his body from 40m out. Lucky for him his shank didn't cost the Swans the game. Buddy as well as had two shockers with his arc.
-
Every week I seem to have a new "flakeiest team on the comp"

Bloody Carlton though being a gifted a win by a Port side that made 7 changes to its side this week :P.

stuffing useless stuffing Port. >:(

Results this round were going our way until Port decided to chuck the game this week by 50 pts against Carlton. The Blues have West Coast at home next week too, so they are going to make it 5 in a row.

Kingsley is really doing well at GWS. A massive win for them. Makes our away win against them look even better. In fact, we are the last side to beat them.
What a massive choke from the Crows at home though. 17 points up at 3/4 time in a 250th milestone game for Sloane against an opposition that had only kicked 5 goals in three quarters, and they then kick just one point to 5.2 lol.

Not all of their players Frankie, some are still quite humble. Eg Pendles, Cox even their Captain
Others like the youngest Daicos ooze arrogance and to use an expression my Mum said alot "they think their pooh doesn't stink"
Maynard has always been a smart behind.

That's a pretty well known saying WP...anyway people often confuse confidence with arrogance... :shh
-

Yes they do
But in Maynard's and the Youngest Daicos' case it is clearly arrogance
You can be confident yet still be humble and respectful
-
If that 2nd quarter of the Norf-vs-Hawks game is anything to go by, if we lose to either of them on the run home then we deserve to finish bottom 4 let alone not make finals. Benny Hill stuff from both sides butchering the ball inside F50. No surprise they are both bottom 3 teams.
-

To be fair to Daicos we haven’t seen a second year player this good since I dunno, dusty? Judd? In my opinion I think the rules suit him with the stand and 6-6-6 but I’d have a big head also if I could torch Freo single handedly in a quarter
-
Will Aints get out of this one like they did v WAFL Witches Hats? :shh
-
Will Aints get out of this one like they did v WAFL Witches Hats? :shh
They did and as a result of that and GWS winning our stay in top 8 was brief
-
Are sides starting to work out the Pies? Port should have got them last week and the Blues smashed them in the contested footy tonight. It didn't allow the Pies to run forward of the ball in numbers which exposed their lack of decent tall forward options. Nick 'bruise free' Daicos couldn't handle the extra attention and physicality and had a shocker going at just 50% by foot. Cocky Maynard won't be so chirpy either. A reminder that premierships aren't won in July.
-
Free kicks → curnow = laughable
what a joke. They talk about how uneven the comp is with draft picks to nought, but the umpiring decisions and in our case non decisions is just as bad
-
Geelong lost at their little Kitty Park :rollin. Freo just did us a massive favour.
-
Ooroo Geelong
-
Fantastic wasn't it damo. Well done Freo :thumbsup
I'd say 3 wins might get us into 8 now. Thoughts?
Dogs game is a cracker also. This game doesn't really matter, other than a few injuries in the dogs back half.
-
MT
Can you declare the two teams we need to lose as certainties to make the eight
You did the job today on Geelong and the dogs
Frankie - it was stuffing delightful and yep , three might be enough .. BUT, the three must include the saints and dogs
-
While not the greatest result for us (and my tipping this week :P), Kingsley is doing an amazing job at the Giants. That's 7 wins in a row and many of them late comebacks. Hard to see them missing the finals now even with their tough-ish draw.

Just when I thought the Bulldogs had reclaimed the "Flakiest Team in the Comp" crown
Along come the Geelong "we are the Danger" Cats screaming "hold my beer"
:rollin

Gold Coast beating Brisbane might be very helpful last round
If Port are certain to finish second last round , it could be rest time

Dunno what that makes Essendon
But it’s not going to be a pretty descriptive
All jokes aside , if we win tomorrow, this will be the 24hrs that sees us play finals
Over to us now if we are good enough .. if we aren’t, we don’t deserve
-
Essendon are predictable ;D
-
Add Port to the flaky list. Be great if they played like tonight when we play them in the last round.
In the other game, Swannies pipped Essendon by 2 pts. So, bye bye Bombers :yep :lol.
-
Essendon are predictable ;D
Except when we gifted them that Dreamtime win in the last 20 mins :P :scream.
ps. At least the Dons gave me one correct tip so far this weekend :-\.

You would reckon Port will be investigated for this.

No head impact assessment for Aliir is astonishing if true given he was laid out on the ground after that head collision with his teammate Jones (who was subbed off).

Watching Geel V Port, over-umpired garbage at its worst! Every hard contest results in a free to somebody. 5 goals to 6 first quarter because most contests are being settled by the umpires.
The only way for umpires to stop wrecking the game with frees is for us to play anybody, that automatically halves the number of frees being paid. ::)
-

Yep and they got stuck into Nick Daicos and he couldn't handle it. 3 possessions in the first half.

Might as well defend the afl when you defend those clows.
Absolutely idiot is what they are.
Anyway on the pies game what was this for? The way i see it there were loads of pushing and shoving and he Daicos ultimately dived and the stupid ump fell for it.
Incredible how many frees he gets but none for diving.

The Pies' form dropping off late in the H/A season with other teams working them out plus getting key injuries. Similar to us in 2018.
-
How does O'Gormless keep his spot on the AFL Umpires roster? Easily the worst I've seen and that's saying something... :shh
-
Bye bye Saints.
-
Pies getting more injuries at the wrong time of the year. Darcy Moore now has done a hammy.
In any case, other sides seem to be working them out. Beat the Pies in contested footy and their forward running game gets shutdown.
-
Fly starting to look more frazzled on the side line

The umpiring will determine this game mark my word...
You can just sense it and on this occasion it won't go Collingwood's way.

best to poo the thread until end of pies games. Bloody jinxed us now they are in front

Jeremy Cameron. Ahh ... JC! Well that explains everything! :thumbsdown

Where was this "insufficient evidence" call from the ARC last year? ::)
In real time, it didn't look it was touched but the goal ump is closest, so you have to accept their soft call. In our case, the goal ump said it was a goal and was overruled.
Anyway, hate to say it but the Blues are a sneaky chance for the flag. What will probably stop them though is not finishing top 4 and having to win four straight finals.

Adelaide just copped their Tom Lynch moment. :shh

The AFL will probably claim again there's extra vision showing the ump's decision was right but conveniently never show it. Still waiting for the apparent extra vision of Lynch's shot a year later.
ps. All the Cats supporters who bagged us for missing the finals in 2021 as reigning premiers are suddenly very quiet. Father time catching up on them as well.

The results yesterday makes our last month even more grating
All the teams we needed to lose, have and are out.
We blew it
Wasted season
And I will confess to feeling pure joy at Geelong missing out.

Geelong getting 4 free kicks for the match against StKilda (actually it was effectively 3 because one was given & then reversed) ... :snidegrin :rollin
Welcome to our world! :santa Where have you been for so long?

Apparently the umps have a hard job some say hahaha
Yes real hard job in giving 5 free kicks, and not requesting a review.
I maintain that some of these umpires are cheats and shouldn't be holding any position in the AFL. I'd love to know who they support. We know of one unp who hates us :shh

Harley Reid off to Norf unless they Roos beat the Suns at Marvel.

Not this year. The Bomber sycophants in the media overrated them as usual. Normal transmission has returned especially with no Draper, Wright and Ridley in the team. An indictment on us and our season that we lost to them in the Dreamtime game :thumbsdown.

The media and Bomber tragics were the ones carrying on that yhey could make finals
But agree with MT just another indictment on our Club that we allowed them to beat us in the Dreamtime game
Will say it again for us it is a wasted season
-
Clarko is going to have to call out the tank division in the last quarter if Norf want to hold onto pick 1 and Harley Reid. They have kicked 9 of the last 11 goals. He might have to move Larkey down back behind the ball as he's already kicked 6 goals midway through the 3rd qtr.
-
Unless the Eagles are scared off by the go home factor, Norf have just cost themselves Harley Reid after losing JHF only 12 months ago lol. And this is the joke of a club that wants extra freebies like Sanders from the AFL :facepalm.
-
Joe Daniher with the worst miss of the year :lol.
https://twitter.com/FOXFOOTY/status/1695326516723195968
Eagles doing their best to return Norf the favour thanks to the Crows inaccuracy and 50% disposal rate.
Dogs down by 8 at the Cattery at 3/4 time. Another indictment on us how terrible both times we were against them especially that first qtr where we didn't turn up to play despite still being in the running for finals.
-
Well the Crows winning means Norf miss out on Harley Reid lol and for us our first pick in the draft moves up one place (to 24).
Glad Geelong isn't playing finals but I was hoping they would knock the Dogs out last night as Kingsley's GWS deserves to play finals more than the flakey Dogs do.

Geez the Pies get looked after by the umps :chuck.
Having said that Melbourne didn't turn up to play until midway through that 2nd qtr. Lucky to be only 17 pts down.
Maynard will probably get off because he plays for Collingwood, but he turned his body in the air and concussed Brayshaw. Mansell was given 3 weeks for turning his body to protect himself in a football act because the Freo player ended up concussed.
-
Bad kicking is bad footy as the old saying goes. Melbourne's forwards (aside from Pickett) have been atrocious tonight. Always a risk coming into finals bringing in blokes who are cold.
-
Bad kicking is bad footy as the old saying goes.
A repeat in the last quarter. The Dees only have themselves to blame for losing that. 32 more inside 50s, more scoring shots plus 3 OOTFs in the final 10 minutes. Fritsch missed the goals by 25m lol. Not so arrogant tonight after that many howlers.
The Pies were hardly convincing after that initial 1.5 quarter burst, yet the Dees gift them free pass to a Prelim :chuck.

Here's the vision of the incident.
(http://oneeyed-richmond.com/images/animatedvidsgifs/MaynardBump.gif)
Verdict?
-
It is split second stuff, but these are elite athletes we are talking about here. Maynard missed the smother by not much & was in mid air when he made a choice to turn his shoulder inwards, bracing for impact.
If Mansell deserved a suspension then so does Maynard ...
4 weeks, lucky not to be 8!
Also, if I'm not mistaken, didn't Maynard recently clean up another player in a very similar incident? Rushing in to smother & crunching the kicker with a shoulder? I believe this earlier incident wasn't even sited?
-
Maynard should get off surely.
Mansell got targeted because he's Richmond/indig

He gets off not because he Maynard but because it's finals.

If he doesnt brace he end ups knocking himself and Brayshaw out

The Match Review Officer and executive general manager of football Laura Kane graded the incident as careless conduct, severe impact and high contact, drawing a minimum three-match ban and means Maynard's season could be over.

I hate Carlton but they could be looking at a Prelim. Scoreboard still close enough but the Blues are all over the Swans. And if Melbourne who they would play next can't fix their forward line probs then it will open the door for Carlton.

No surprise. If Mansell got 3 weeks for simply contesting a loose ball, then Maynard was going to be sent to the Tribunal as well looking at the same penalty. The MRO focusses on the outcome. If your opponent is concussed and taken off for the rest of the game then you're in trouble even if it's a football act.
-
I switched off after Carlton got five goals up with the Swans only kicking two goals to half-time. Saw the final score later on and thought "damn!". Both losers so far have stuffed themselves up with poor goalkicking.
-
Bye bye Sainters :wave. Once it was announced their final was going to be at the 'G rather than Marvel then GWS was always going to win. Kingsley has inherited a list with a lot of talent and is getting the best out of them. Would love to see them get through to a Prelim and knockout the Pies once again :pray.
-
Underwhelming finals so far.
Thinking back to 2017, we were a juggernaut, pressure off the scale, mean and tough. Cotchin like a wrecking ball, Dusty unstoppable and Rance, Astbury, Broad and Vlaustin like a brick wall.
-
Neither of these sides are winning the flag.... :shh

Lions ended up smashing Port.
Will confess didn't watch it I was watching the Aussies smash the Proteas in the cricket
But they get a home prelim so the would have to favourites in their Prelim whoever they play

On current form Port will go out in straight sets.
How Byrne-Jones was ever an All-Australian and Floss never was, is just mindboggling :facepalm.
Duursma was the worst against the Lions. Fumbled everything that came near him. Reminded me of this:

What a load of poo. Hope they appeal stuff the pies.

The long answer from the Tribunal.
The reasons of the Tribunal for its Maynard decision via Jeff Gleeson:
The charge is [was] advanced in two ways: Under the general rough conduct provision or alternatively under the rough conduct (high bumps) provision, we will address them in turn.
First, the rough conduct general provision.
The charge was pressed in two ways by the AFL. First, it says Maynard’s decision to attempt to smother in the way that he did was unreasonable and breached his duty of care.
Secondly, it says that, having entered the action of attempting to smother, he breached his duty of care by failing to cushion the impact with Brayshaw by either using outstretched hands and arms or by leaving his arms open and collecting Brayshaw with his shoulder.
As to the decision to smother basis, we find that Maynard's decision was reasonable.
He committed to the act of smothering when he was what appears to us from the vision to be several meters from Brayshaw.
We accept a reasonable player would have foreseen at the moment of committing to the act of smothering that some impact with Brayshaw was possible. We find that it was not inevitable from the perspective of a player in Maynard’s position.
We are not at all satisfied that a reasonable player would have foreseen that violent impact or impact of the type suffered by Brayshaw was inevitable or even likely.
There were at the moment Maynard committed to the act of smothering many variables that could have eventuated in many different ways.
Brayshaw could’ve executed his kick in a different direction or in a different manner, landed in a different manner or in a slightly different location.
We are here discussing the first way in which the general rough conduct charge is pressed; That is, focusing on the decision to commit to the act of smothering.
The still images showing the ‘lanes’ in which the players were located at various relevant times, provide support for Maynard's evidence that he did not expect Brayshaw to be where he ultimately saw him to be after he took his eyes off the ball and look down to see Brayshaw.
As to the second basis of the rough conduct general provision, we accept the evidence of Professor Cole that he did not believe that Maynard’s body position at the time of impact can be considered part of any conscious decision.
Here, we’re addressing the second way in which general rough conduct charge is pressed, namely that it was something that Maynard did or didn't do after he'd decided to smother was careless.
We find that Professor Cole's evidence is consistent with the time intervals that were introduced into evidence and consistent with our repeated viewing of the video evidence from numerous angles at normal speed.
Alternative methods of landing as advanced by the AFL may or may not have produced a better outcome for Brayshaw, if Maynard had the time to make a conscious choice as to his body position, we find that he had no such sufficient time.
He would have had to weigh up what his other options were and whether they were more or less likely to cause harm to Brayshaw.
It is not an irrelevant consideration that these other possible methods of landing foreseeably have resulted in harm to Maynard.
The AFL’s position was to accept and we think it was appropriate to do so that even these other methods of landing will have resulted in a reportable offence.
It is asking a lot of a player to decide in a fraction of a second which various ways to land, a high speed collision, and which of those ways of landing might result in which type of reportable offence.
We find that Mr. Maynard was not careless in either his decision to smother or the way in which his body formed.
This brings us to the rough conduct (high bumps) provision.
The first question here is whether Maynard caused forceful contact to Brayshaw’s head or neck in the bumping of an opponent.
The AFL contends that Maynard chose to bump. Ihle on behalf of Maynard says the evidence demonstrates he had no time to make such a decision and that Maynard did no more than brace for contact.
We are clearly satisfied Maynard did not engage in the act of bumping Brayshaw.
It is not suggested by the AFL and nor could it be sensibly suggested that Maynard made a decision to bump his opponent at the moment of jumping in the air to smother.
At that point in time, Maynard was clearly making a decision to smother.
In order for it to be concluded that he engaged in the act of bumping. It would be necessary to find that he formed that intention when in midair at approximately at the apex of his leap.
We accept the evidence of Professor Cole as being consistent with a common sense viewing of the video evidence. Maynard had no time to form that intention.
The charge is dismissed.

Demonland forum right now ...
This Is why we’re not a big club and we’re not taken seriously and we don’t draw big crowds.
We can’t be trusted.
Bunch of chokers.
Fancy handing a prelim to the blues on a freaking platter.
Mate has anyone seen a team [censored] the bed so hard as us tonight. What an absolute joke of a team
I will be taking a 6 month break from AFL
Straight Sets Simon has wasted yet another year through poor list management and team selection.
Schache the sub and wasn’t even used, while we had ruck contests with no one going up and Grundy in the stands.
Gawn totally exposed their backline with his marking when he was forward, we could have had a lot more of that with Grundy in the team.
This is the least surprising result, lost at team selection yet again.
Remember how we were on the verge of a dynasty a few years back? Now we're the laughing stock of the AFL, back-to-back, straight-sets chokers.
Maybe do some kicking practice in the off-season... or, y'know, after last week? When we lost a final for the exact same reason?
It's such a colossal choking job fit for a minnow club trying to fit in with the big boys.

Gawn post-game reckons their forwards were great tonight :huh3.

The Dees goalkicking was as bad as ours.

Biggest chokers is what they are.
One flag wonders.
I hope everyone is preparering for a pies blues GF. Think it may happen.
-
Couldn't have happened to nicer bunch of self important arrogant minnows and their equally arrogant self important fans
And as an aside I wait to see what the MRO does with Kosi (I line up blokes) Pickett. He did it again, no eyes for the ball just lined up another one to take them out. Just so happens he lined up the wrong bloke :lol
-
Really enjoying listening to Ports supporters whinge tonight.
GWS look great, really hope they win the flag, but gee they could have kicked away by now but have been crap in front of goal over the last 45min.
Hogan's snap reminded me of some of Bolton's silly shots.

Hopper sorely missed :lol
Good on them. Hope they maul the pies next week.

Sucked in Poort

And Port have signed up Hinkley for another two more years :lol.

Melbourne and Port = a pair of chokers! :yep

Quite a few spuds for Port tonight
Byrne-Jones heads the list with SPP not far behind.
And Dursma continued his stellar form in finals
Stupid decision to play both Dixon and Lycett who both were not fit
So in summary Port got what they deserved

Port forum in meltdown :lol.
This one is on you Koch, Richardson, Hinkley and the ******* happy clappers. Destroyed the Port Adelaide established 1878 (https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/twemoji/14.0.2/72x72/1f621.png) (https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/twemoji/14.0.2/72x72/1f621.png) (https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/twemoji/14.0.2/72x72/1f621.png)
Good luck finding Koch anywhere, the weak, snivelling, moronic excuse-laden fraud.
Burn the place to the ground and hand the license. to South Adelaide.
Tough decision, this club has been a part of my life forever but I think I’m done. When a club stops listening to its supporters, board is unaccountable. Not renewing my membership.
This era has really killed my interest in footy.
Without the optimism there’s not really much to get into year on year.
I’ll tune in but I’ve not believed since 2018.
Frauds from top to bottom.
Dining out on the past work of players and administrators. More interested in story telling and the 90sec clip on the webpage of what an honour it is to play for this club.
Add another couple of names to the must go list and that's Cripps and Parker. Our list is ******* horrid!
It's full of C graders and guys with massive holes in their games, not to mention a complete lack of desire and killer attitude needed to win when it counts. This is not only evident in the AFL team but it's even more obvious in the SANFL team.
There isn't a single guy in the SANFL side I think would be anything more than a bottom 5 or so player even if they make it at AFL level.
And once again tonight we got to see Hinkley under pressure and it wasn't a pretty sight. No moves, no motivation, barely an adjustment, just the old "I'll have faith" with is code for I haven't got a clue and I'm too scare to try anything.
Just like Koch they hide behind doing nothing as being wise and measured but it's just two old guys who don't know but like playing the pretend game as it's good for the egos.
A putrid club that was no right whatsoever to call itself the PAFC.
We're dead.
I'm done. Just cancelled my membership. The club is a joke, and the league is an even bigger joke. For mine it's not worth following anymore. Get almost zero enjoyment out of it, it's an amateur sport with an administration that caters to itself and it's own interests. Strangely, exactly how the AFL-owned Port Adelaide is being run.
The only way anything gets done about this competition is by weight of numbers, and I don't feel okay putting my own hard earned money towards this farce any more.
I'm lucky enough to live in a country where no one else gives a * about the sport either so the separation process should be much easier.
Those of you that will continue to follow a hopeless cause and contribute $$$ to every slime ball associated with the business, best of luck to you.

Yep. Sold an absolute pup. If you watch green you soon realize he was the one they wanted all along. Absolute beast of a player.
Would be very surprised if one of them at least doesn't see out his contract with us. In fact we would be very stupid not to consider it, and after watching their old team in a prelim they would as well.

Green was great. First time I've really watched him for a full game since I don't often bother with non Richmond games anymore.
As a team they are so clean by foot too. Enjoying viewing especially with Poort losing :D

I've watched a few games Andy and he is brilliant. Has some awards coming his way that is for sure.
The amount of talent they have got from that academy is crazy.

Still confident we'll get Green eventually and the sooner he wins a flag or two at GWS the better.... :shh

Very scrappy and contested which suits the Giants. Another half like that and it will be a good night :yep. It all depends now if GWS can keep it up for another half.
ps. by the way, so much for Shocking's rule changes leading to higher scoring ::).
-
The Giants lost their composure that quarter. Got sucked into playing into Collingwood's hands with low percentage disposals and then burnt so many chances via lack of awareness going inside 50 as well as missing sitters. Reminds me of us.
-
That was a winnable game for the GWS and they've only got themselves to blame to lose by a single point. Burnt so many chances throughout due to lack of composure and having tunnel vision, and it came back to bite them. Toby Greene is a superstar, but he had to at least score something with that banana from the pocket if he didn't centre it.
Sickeningly, unless Brisbane don't choke tomorrow night and then somehow overcome their MCG hoodoo, then it will be a gifted flag for the Pies :chuck. Only thing worse is if Carlton win and the whole of GF week becomes unbearable and unwatchable for us Tiger supporters :help.
-

Why gifted ?
They’ve been the best team basically all year

Gifted in the sense that the standard of the teams this year is poorer, and it will be a walk in the park for the Pies next week if the usual Brisbane "we're scared of the MCG" Lions turn up or they get a leggy Carlton playing their fourth tough final in a row. Any of the dynasty teams such as us in 2017-2020 would wipe the floor with the top teams this year. The top side this year is into a GF after they didn't score a goal for a half of footy in a Prelim! :o In both finals, their opposition didn't put them away when they should've and left the door open. Hardly, the sign of world beaters but 2023 is a soft year and they've been the best of an average bunch IMHV. An indictment on us btw and how pathetic and amateurish we were this year that we couldn't even make the finals :thumbsdown.
-
Agree with MT. Pies are nothing special. I feel Lions needed to win a final here to break the hoodoo. Pies will smash them next week unfortunately.
One thing we don't have which both teams have is ability to apply pressure. It was great to see.
-
Sad that Giants lost.
I hate the rest.
Not sure who I hate the most.
At least if Lions win I won't have to hear much about it since they're an interstate team
-
We don’t know if Jordan De Goey wanted to be like Dustin Martin, or was it that all of us wanted him to be like Dusty.
But maybe De Goey is just De Goey, and despite sitting on the bench for the last nine minutes at the MCG, the powerhouse midfielder was best afield. By a long way.
He is Dusty but different.

The look on Cripps' face when he copped 50mtrs in the centre to start the 2nd half was priceless!
It started with confusion, switched into dis-belief, morphed into anger & ended up with "I'm calling my lawyer!". :rollin

"Sydney co-captain Callum Mills has undergone shoulder surgery after wrestling with a teammate at Mad Monday celebrations. He is now in doubt for R1 next year" - Mitch Cleary.

What the ....! Were the Swannies trying to imitate WWE?
-
"Off the top rope with a chair", is a wrestling move not recommended by the AFL during Mad Monday ... :P
-
Mills has ruptured his rotator cuff - torn it from the bone. This can be 9-12 months.
He was mucking around with Jacob Konstanty when the injury occurred. It was innocuous at the time. Teammates didn’t even notice.

This is going to be a long day if Collingwood are going to get frees for every time they deliberately buckle at the knees to draw a high free. Nick Daicos does it regularly and the umps fall for it.
Mind you Brisbane have brought their "MCG form" so far. Nervous and fumbly.
-
Brisbane after getting back into the game and hitting the front, go negative in the last couple of minutes and no surprise cough up 2 late soft goals. Terrible coaching by Fagan. When your team has got the momentum, you don't kill it yourself.
-
Good game so far.
Smalls having a day out and demonstrating our most glaring weakness.
-
Fagan has put Rayner behind the ball late in both quarters and it's now cost them 3 goals including 2 after the siren.
Unusually high scoring and close GF so far. Entertaining for us neutrals. Not much defence out there though. Whoever gets on top at the stoppages and clearances is getting out the back into open forward 50s and scoring. It's why the small forwards of both sides are dominating. Joe Daniher is the best big man on the ground. Best game he's arguably played in his whole career so far :o.
Edit: Yep, Andyy. We don't have any dangerous quick small forwards anymore and we get burnt on the rebound as soon as the ball hits the ground as we don't defend the opposition's goal-side of stoppages and contests :P.
-
Pies keeping Brisbane in it with their misses. 1.6 to 2.2 that qtr. Lions' mids and half-forwards need to lift as they are stagnant. There's no run to receive to break the lines.
-
Shocking advantage that wasn't advantage call by the ump. Would've given Brisbane a shot from 50. Just handed the Pies the flag :chuck.
ps. Collingwood had the better of game to be honest especially after half-time but it's a joke how the umps look after them at crucial moments compared to the crap we cop.
-
Filth needed umpires and a team that are even bigger chokers than them to get home in a grand final by less than a goal. :shh
-
Yep. Another Brisbane MCG hoodoo choke saved the Pies from another GF choke :P. Brisbane especially after half-time played as though they were hoping to win. They never looked like a team that showed any urgency and belief in themselves. In the end, it all went as scripted and that was the only reason why I picked the Pies in the tipping comps.
McRae definitely outcoached Fagan today. Frampton hardly touched the ball but he nullified Harris Andrews from impacting the game for most of it. Also, those 3 late Pies goals in the first half when Brisbane went too negative putting Rayner behind the ball yet all it did was give the Pies control of the ball around stoppages. Then add Berry's total brainfade 50 that gave Sidebottom a goal on the breeze. When you lose by just 4 pts, they are all killers.
-
I'd go as far as to say Jarrod Berry cost the Lions the flag

McCreery left the Auskick kid hanging as did a couple of other Pies.

Nick Daicos ducks for frees but at least he made the effort to respect the kid presenting the medal to him.

As they were doing the medals I said to all the fellas
Wait for the western suburban kid Hoskin-Elliot to show how it’s done
ALL CLASS
-
Thought the way some of the Pies players treated the Auskickers was disgraceful
McCreey was the worst but Cox, Maynard to name 2 others were pathetic
DeGoey was brilliant as was Nick Daicos. But overall they as a Club should be embarrassed
-
Maynard was acting like a tool straight after the game and not just on stage when he was collecting his medal.
-
I'd go as far as to say Jarrod Berry cost the Lions the flag
im sorry WP but that was not 50 against Sidebottom.
the umpires ruined this game and i gladly called them cheats at the end, because that is exactly what they are.
how about encroaching within 5 metres. Why isnt that 50 anymore?
its all a load of bs and if that was us it would absolutely been play on.

Fair enough Frankie
I thought it was 50. Granted they pay 1 out of 10 but that doesn't mean that it was wrong call.
And the point you raise about encroaching over the mark is a good one for another reason.
I think it had a lot to do with the noise at the ground and they appeared to take into consideration for the majority of the game
Which makes the advantage call in the last minute 20 all the more shocking. For the majority of the game then had clearly taken the noise level into consideration but at the most crucial moment in the game they didn't...and for that they should cop it
-
It was the wrong call and as I said if it was us you wouldn't say it was the right call, because we simply get robbed each and every time that play is repeated.
Also There is no way if daicos was tripped than that fool would have called advantage.
It caps off a year that that club gets the run of the green...yet again. :shh
-
I thought it was a clear 50 to Sidearse.
Also a clear trip and no advantage to Neale.
-
have we had any players suspended recently with clean rcords?
funny how Charlie Cameron and now Jezza Cameron have both had their weeks downgraded to a fine on a "good behavior" technicality.
