MOTLOP ON REPORT

The bloke's always a pest when we play them.

Is there anyone who saw the incident and do you think the match review dudes will remove him from next Sunday's game against us?

MOTLOP ON REPORT

Being reported by a Goal Umpire alone is unusual in this day and age. Hopefully there will be supporting video evidence. One week would do nicely.

I seem to recall he has some carry-over.

    IMO Motlop is worth 3 goals to Port before the game even starts so its a bonus for us

    He was worth five last time we played.

    No Motlop for Port on Sunday after being offered a one match ban. Motlop is unable to reduce the length on suspension with an early plea.

    Heath Shaw and John Anthony were both cleared along with former Dee Chris Johnson.

    and no Justin Westoff either....another 3 goal a game player. So this means that Power will be relying on tredrea for goals and i feel confident Warnock can do a job on him

    So now it's no forward line vs. no forward line this week.... should be an interesting game to say the least! :lol:

    They'll just ram through 10 from the midfield to take up the slack. :angry:

    They've still got Ebert, and they could throw Chad Cornes up there too. Still better than ours, but definitely weak and we're in with a better chance than we were 48 hours ago.

    This Motlop news doesnt affect the Demons at all, as we have no chance of winning at AAMI for a few years still.

    We were even pathetic there in our Finals seasons.

    Yeah, wasn't it surprising to read that before they won on Friday night, St Kilda was listed in the Herald Sun as having the worst record at AAMI of any club. How did we escape the radar on this issue? Sadly, I just put this one down as a loss every time. I guess you aren't tipping a Demon win then this week YM? I remember a few seasons ago, after hitting the top of the ladder, one game clear after 18 rounds, being thrashed by either Adelaide or Port at AAMI the next week. I don't have the answer. We even play better at Subiaco don't we? Certainly had more wins over there in the last 10 years.

    My as yet unborn grandkids will be 70 and some people will still be saying that.

    I wonder if we might do something silly and knock an understrength port off this week at home?

    Bobby, from memory we got pumped, PUMPED, by the Crows after they had had a rubbish few months in Craig's first game as coach.

    We won a few in a row, hit the top of the table, then got pumped by Port to begin our 5 losses in a row.

    Certainly a hell hole for us. Not to mention Round 22, 2006. Half the Crows side out, a win for a top 4 spot, never got into it.

    Last year we played the week after the Freo game, kicked the first four of the last/third quarter to get it back to 27 points....lost by over 70

    Actually, I'd be happy if one of the Port players such as Chad Cornes, really got under his skin and had a go at him. Just to see if he fires up on the field.....it's time the penny dropped for Sylvia.

    Does the penny drop for Mildura boys?

    Look closer, and you'll see that that was a stupid HUN miscalculation. They claimed St Kilda had a worse record than us because they'd won 4 and we'd won 5. Do the maths and you'll see that our winning percentage is lower than their's, because we've played about 5 more matches than them over the same time period. We've got the worst winning percentage at AAMI.

    He will just get reported.

    I just want him to focus and play footy.

    Every time we go to AAMI, I ask this question. But this time I give us 0.000000000% chance. Just don't have the cattle.

    Someone on the Port Board at Big Footy was bemoaning turnovers and skill errors, on the face of it things sound pretty even.

    Not good to watch though.

    PS Motlop is challenging his week

    Hope he gets off!

    Good for draft picks, even better for an understrength super coach side

    Cleared. :angry:

    Yeah, apparently the goalie had some sort of delusional episode. Motlop said "didn't happen" and Hunter agreed with him.

    Yeah the players code probably kicked in on that testmony, but according to the report delivered on Fox Sports tonight Motlop was asked if he "punched" Adam Hunter and he said he didn't then Hunter said he didn't, and then Motlop went on to amend this opinion by saying something along the lines that it was "more of an upper cut" :wacko: !!!

    Anyway he was cleared all the same......

    Daniel Motlop free to play, Adam McPhee suspended

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
