    Georgiou is one of my favorite players

    Absolutely smashed LRT on the weekend

    How did LRT get off hitting Georgiou?

    How did Franklin get off for terrible acting? I couldn't knock that man over if I was driving a bulldozer, but Georgiou took him out with a mere touch.

    franklin also staged when he got the free for his only goal. bloody joke should have been cited

    What a joke, this one should have been thrown out. He grazed him while trying to knock Franklin's arm away from holding his jumper and Franklin hit the deck looking for a free then bounced back up instantly when it wasn't paid. Glad he can play on the weekend but it sucks he has this hanging over his head now for nothing.

    seems to be a trend for ol Buddy...hitting things !! :rolleyes:

    should appeal, 93 points for that is garbage.

    The match review made it low impact, which probably says what they thought of Buddy's fainting fit, but he did make contact and an unsuccessful appeal leaves him out for a week. Better to cop it sweet.

    The whole system is a joke. Not a fan of carry over points. This is a perfect example of why the system is flawed.

    Bastard should be suspended...he is a disgrace to the AFL....brings the game into disrepute in so many ways, which costs us and us only $500K. (Bumbers get rewarded with marquee games).

    Oh, I forgot, the AFL Commission is dedicated to preserving the integrity of the game. Bloody joke.

    They introduced a rule to penalise stagers....but absolutely zero integrity in it.

    Joke.

    A blight on the game

    He should be offered a pay rise instead

    They should both be embarrassed by that [censored] slap more then anything. Georgiou for not getting him with a real one and Buddy for dropping like a sack of [censored]

  • Quote

    So if Georgio repeats the action, he misses a game. Two separate trivial incidents which don't warrant suspension by themselves have their powers combined to total x amount of points which warrants a player to miss games. I always wondered where the Pluck-a-duck wheel wound up.

  • Quote

    Hard to prove that Franklin was staging because he did get a whack. Georgiou can look at it as a medal to pin on his chest and have a great conversation piece for the rest of his life. Many a laugh for the retelling of how Buddy fell like a sack of spuds.

  • Quote

    I hope Georgiou appeals.

    For one, it'll highlight the hilarious dive from Franklin.

    We should bring a spotlight on it and make him look like an utter goose.

    Secondly, for an accidental glancing blow where no harm was caused, this is an unfair punishment.

    And thirdly, because I know the AFL tribunal won't throw it out, Georgiou will get suspended, and he'll be out of the team.

    And not a minute too soon.

    He is a liability. So bloody awkward that he is a danger to his teammates.

    Anyone see McDonald win the footy, about to kick, and then Georgiou ran across his path?

    T-Mac had to pull the kick, attempt a sidestep and then in the split-second it took him to reset for a clear kick, he was tackled and he turned it over.

    Bloody Georgiou... Can't get him out of the side soon enough.

    Can't believe this. Georgiou has not been beaten and has allowed Chip to go forward. One of the finds of the season and will be a fixture. He may be awkward but rarely turns it over - unlike many others in the side

    Doesn't do anything with it though.

    If you're not attacking and somewhat dangerous, you're making it easier on the opposition.

    Like I said, he's a bloody liability and dangerous to his teammates.

    Whack!! Try an unexpected touch, inadvertent contact to the face. Georgiou is very unlucky I think to get a similar finding to Gibsons full on hit from behind to the head. Reckless and high contact I think for Gibbo and should be similar to some of the bumps that have been judged to be too high but inadvertent.

    By the way Machsy I reckon Georgiou is a positive, he has a real go. When you find a silky skilled half back to take his place let me know.

  • Quote

    We are obviously watching different games

    Probably.

    I just think with him in the side, we're almost a man down with the ball in hand.

    It's hard enough when McDonald is only slightly better.

    I may be alone, but I thought a reprimand was appropriate. I know it was unintentional and I agree Franklin's reaction was pathetic, none the less he made forceful contact with another player's head. I expect he'll be a little more careful where he swings his fist next time, and he learns the lesson without having to miss any games.

    Anyway it would seem he has accepted the reprimand.

    actually if he repeats it i think he loses 2 games

    i.e. 93.75 + 125 = 218.75 with no discount = 2 weeks

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
