Challenge has been unsuccessful. The AFL Tribunal has upheld both charges, with Bruce and Smith receiving fines.

So now they each pay the AFEL $1,000 more. Yeah for the AFEL.

Was there footage of the tackle on Cunnington? Can’t recall anything untoward.

Re: MRO Thread

Looking at the dangerous/sling tackles from the Richmond/Brisbane game on the weekend that resulted in fines I am in disbelief that Caleb Daniel was suspended for a tackle which the controlling umpire at the time paid him a free kick for holding the ball. The tackle on Daniher in particular was much more of a violent and dangerous action. Two sets of rules.

I noticed in the game where we played Richmond, their tackling was bordering on dangerous. Every time they tackle they throw their opponent on the ground, and as you say get away with it.

Zaine Cordy, Western Bulldogs, has been charged with Misconduct against Clayton Oliver, Melbourne, during the second quarter of the Round 19 match between Melbourne and the Western Bulldogs, played at the MCG on Saturday, July 24, 2021.

In summary, he can accept a $1000 sanction with an early plea.

Based on the available evidence, the incident was assessed as Misconduct. The incident was classified as a $1500 sanction as a first offence. The player can accept a $1000 sanction with an early plea.

Was that for shoving his fat head into the ground?

Re: MRO Thread

Yup, yeah it's something that we don't want in the league but Oliver also acted like Cordy punched him in the back of the head based on how he held his head on the ground for a good 5 seconds.

Isn't shoving Oliver's head into the ground considered community service?

I kid. Or do I?

It's up there with the first goal in the GF for mine.

We should have a whip-round for the fine.

How does Pickett get away with concussing Ed?

Please.

I thought he was reckless coming in that hard with the head down, probably a bit like the Mackay one. But when I watched the replay it wasn't malicious or intended to hurt, just one of those unfortunate intersections.
Pickett has such incredible acceleration he hits with huge force.
Ed won't be the last to see stars after an encounter I'd suggest.

I thought Oliver was staging, the umpire was right there and should have reversed it if Cordy did as alleged

The vision was pretty clear that Zaine pushed his head into the ground.. a seriously dumb act.

Seriously dumb, but completely understandable for that head,
