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.

      Recent meetings between Melbourne and Carlton have developed a striking and somewhat familiar narrative, underscored by a series of closely contested encounters ultimately decided by narrow margins. The Blues have won out on each of the past four occasions:-

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      Melbourne’s early surge of optimism came crashing back to reality in its clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Saturday night. Just six days after unveiling its fun-filled, attack-minded style against the Saints, the Demons were met by a Dockers outfit determined to shut it down with a blend of speed, pressure, and physicality.

      The Casey Demons faced a tough first up task taking on reigning VFL premiers Footscray at Mission Whitten Oval. The Bulldogs, who unfurled their premiership flag pre-game, had 15 AFL-listed players and their top VFL talent available, setting them up for their 15th consecutive win.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      The Demons were fumbly, inefficient, outrun and outgunned all over the field as they went down to the Dockers by 48 points at Optus Stadium in Perth.
