Because it was a wrong adjudication

So, If he was fit to play this week we would have…I assume the 10k is gone even if we won the case is the reason why

Ya gotta keep the bastards honest, that’s why…and Christian is definitely one of those

You do realise that someone who has broken their wrist in a spoil would have done significant damage to the person being hit high…if he was, which he wasn’t

What’s done is done.

Time to move on!

Sorry if this has been covered previously, but I've only noticed for the first time.
Mirkov out indefinitely due to conditioning, on a modified program? What in the world is that about?
Did he show up to preseason out of shape?

Didn't he have that heart issue last year? Maybe there is a still a issue there

Coming back from heart surgery last year

 

[jungojungojungo]

Expecting to see some big games from Owies, Durdin, Hollands and Fantasia coming up. All pretty much guaranteed games with Fog, Martin and Motlop sidelined.

Can't imagine we can take all 7 into next year - so hoping to see some real intensity to cement their spot in the team for September and the upcoming 4-peat.

Cheers, I vaguely remember that now.

Caleb Marchbank (concussion/back)

• Managing back soreness after a heavy collision against North Melbourne
• Is also continuing to progress through concussion protocols
• Expected to be a test to play next week

Bloody Hell

 

[Zabini]

Bloody Hell

There’s been a heap of Marchbank vs Kemp chat on here this year but honestly this is why I think it’s all a bit of a pointless debate. I would love to see Marchy get up and flourish in our side but I just don’t see him putting a full season together

 

[Opium]

Your honour not happy with a conviction, suspended sentence, no fine for J walking, so I would like to appeal

By the way, given I am hospital with a broken leg from that car hitting me, any appeal would need to be conducted via video link

They should of appealed out of principle. If the club and Fog were genuinely contesting the footy they should of challenged. Part of the defence could've been Fog is already out for 4 weeks, but it was a genuine football action and he was genuinely going for a spoil.

 

[Crippa#9]

Just not working for poor Alex.

Surprised he retained his spot on the list this year tbh. Pittonet & Hudson ahead of him at VFL level even.

 

[teagueyubeauty]

Shits and giggles.
AFL: Alright, it's been downgraded to a fine, you're free to play...
Blues: Fogarty; injured - broken wrist - 6 weeks.

C'mon, now that's funny.

That’s probably the other reason we didn’t challenge, chance of it being a fine and costing him money out of his own pocket

[katmanblue]

Just heard vossy on sen say Fogarty has a broken wrist

That's 6 weeks

Can’t believe the AFL injury update said Marchbank suffered a back injury while progressing through the concussion protocols. This guy really can’t catch a break.

Injury doesn’t work like that.

The impact could cause damage to one player or both. It depends on angle of impact and the force going through different structures.

The force through a small bone of the wrist with little muscle tissue might cause a fracture but that same force through a larger bone surrounded by muscle may only cause a bruise or little to no damage.

In any case as previously posted, ‘reading the room’ and ‘picking your battles’ may have been a significant factor.

I get the standing your ground argument though!

Mirkov had heart surgery and whilst he has been training throughout the pre season his program would be very different to any other player.

Can’t see him staying on the list if he’s out of contract this year.

The sore back was from the same incident as the concussion, not the concussion protocols. Pretty sure.

 

[coryne]

Needed to appeal the Fog suspension to maintain his eligibility for the Brownlow !!! .......

Yeah, probably just an error from whichever AFL reporter wrote that injury article on their website for all the clubs.

 

[athensblue]

Will be a little foggy this week without Fog
Will realise how much work he does during a game, to let the stars play

 

[Jatz]

Oh Marchy. I'd just love to see him get a clean run at it.

 

[Juddernaut08]

Oh Marchy. I'd just love to see him get a clean run at it.

I'd like him to show form it at least 1 VFL game first.

 

[Jatz]

I'd like him to show form it at least 1 VFL game first.

Well we can't exactly trust him so I think that mostly needs to be his place now.

If we need him and he's fit, fantastic. But I think it's got to be Kemp that plays week in and out now.

 

[beowulf]

Indeed. No Marchbank in the seniors until he's had some match practice in the 2's and got through at least 3 games without something new happening.

 

[passmark]

If he plays 2nds they’ll give him 60 odd minutes of managed time to make sure gets through and select him regardless of how he performs .
