i was just thinking how good would it be if we could put Trenners final 2 weeks of his suspension onto Dunny so Dunny gets 4 and trenners comes in this week?? Dunny should be allowed to take one for the team

    Well thats not how the penalty system works. Impact plays a role in activation points.

    Yes, Dunn was lucky he didn't do more damage. Same as the drunk driver who doesn't have a crash and kill someone.

    Unfortunately that is how the system works.

    As for same as the drunk driver who doesn't have a crash and kill someone.

    Varcoe, Tippett and Stanley all did sling tackles where they hit shoulder on turf then head on turf. ala Trengove but because player A isn't injured they get off.

    That's a cop letting off a drunk driver because he didn't kill or hurt anyone.

    On this point you have my total agreement

    The rules(matrix) of rough play for tackles badly need fixing and rewording. I'll bet its done at end of season but too late for Jack who was well and truly made a sacrificial lamb and laid out to dry.

    BTW, I meant to add that Dunn getting 3 games (325 activation points) is still a serious punishment. People calling for more are being too emotional. I'm not a Dunn fan but I thought he got the right punishment.

    Had Dunn actually caused injury to the player emphasis great force of the crude tackle he would have and should have got more but 3 weeks is about right for the act.

    Yes, but even if the injury report had said that Pratt had suffered injury, we could have had a Dangerfield case where Pratt ends up playing the next game anyway.

    Dunn deliberately bumped Pratt. He made contact with the head region. That to me is enough for a 4 week suspension, minimum. It's exactly the kind of thing we want to eradicate from the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
