Another one from me, out they go altogether as far as I'm concerned but unfortunately it is only certain brands they are looking at banning.

I heard someone with a good suggestion saying that if you wear a glove then you have to leave it on when kicking for goal. The glove interferes with the ball drop, if you want the advantage in a marking contest then you get the disadvantage in the kick. Interesting idea.

    Have always found the gloves to be against the spirit of the game.

    The fact that it has taken so long to test these gloves is an indictment on the AFL.

    I never had a problem with the late, great Sean Wight wearing them - wasn't he one of the first that introduced wearing gloves which then saw Tony Campbell bring out his own range and made craploads of $, but probably not as much as Easton.

    Gloves were so late 80's - early 90's. Players that wear them now remind me of guys that still wear corduroy jackets, one day they will be back in fashion, but today isn't that day.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
