The match day report laid against Melbourne’s Colin Sylvia for striking Port Adelaide’s Josh Carr from Sunday’s match was assessed. It was the view of the panel that Sylvia’s action was a pushing motion and not a strike. The contact was also below that required to constitute a reportable offence and it was the view of the panel the Port Adelaide player accentuated the contact. No further action was taken.

Now all he needs to do is play a bloody GOOD GAME! <_<

    So he should get off..... The report was a disgrace!

    Both Power boys got games though.... Which is nice!! Burgoyne the dirty [censored] got what he deserved for kneeing Davey when he was down.... Obviously Port realised that they were like fresh meat in Pentridge last year and have made a pact to get tougher this season.... But toughness is measured in different ways....

    Try again Port!!

    See ya in the showers :P

    Carr probably instigated it as well.

    As a mate said to me:

    I said the exact same thing to the missus when we saw it on the news..... Any report against a player who is playing on JC.... NO ACTION!

    I actually had a chuckle at that one.

    Carr has made a career on baiting players and also how many times did he duck the head in that game? - pathetic.

    I think he's lucky. It was quite a forceful blow to the throat, but I'm happy he got off. He shouldn't and probably won't be dropped so now he can help us beat Richmond next week.

    I agree Rny. He needs to put the incident behind him (and the game) and concentrate on the task next week.

    Lucky to get off???? Pfft!!!!!

    It was a push that turned into one of the greatest dives of all time!

    The only reason it went up was because of the dive which the umpire fell for............the camera angle made it look far worse than it was............and that's why it was thrown out!

    Good onya Krazy, I thought the same thing as you when I finally saw it. Nothing in it. Gee the kid cops some negativity. But now he does need to try to work himself into the Dees gameplan.

    Nahh I dont think there was much in it, It was sorta just a push in the throat but Carr made it look worse.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
