The funniest thing is if it was a norf player he would have been up in arms,

as someone said earlier the Roos look the team most likely to move or merge and he will knock the mfc as much as he can because we got bailed out and he knows North won't.

    Dwayne Russell and Damien Barrett to repeatedly kick each other in the nuts.

    The two biggest hacks in footy commentary and journalism respectively. I actually find it amazingly frustrating that a dweeb like Barrett gets paid to talk and write footy when he knows far less about the game than the average punter.

    Can you let us know if he replied to him?

    He is a bum sniffer of the highest order so he would give some laughable answer to a Geelong player like AC.

    He didn't.

    He didn't.

    he didn't, i believe.

    He would hate that a player directly had a go at his POV.

    So I am happy.

    I disliked Barretts tweet that the Tribunal got it 100% right

    However....

    If you re-read Barretts article - he was expressing thoughts that a lot of us thought. That the MRP and Tribunal doesn't care about actions - only the outcomes. The tribunal rules thats if someone gets injured then someone must pay. Lots thought here that the appeal board wouldn't overturn the decision. What I disliked about the article is he didn't then reach the obvious conclusion that the philosophy is wrong - the philosophy should be judge the action then if guilty take into account the outcome.

    Last night the appeals board took a step away from outcome based decision making.

    Has anyone ever seen Barrett & Jumbo in the same room?

    read the worms sliding doors article on the doggies, the bloke thinks he has a coach, it's hilarious how little idea he has, thinks they didn't attack enough...

    also expressed his opinion on the MRP in our section without mentioning anything about the game.

    People power believe Damo is a [censored]. On principal he should resign.

    hahahaa the purple headed warrior has NO idea about system.

    the system is designed so that clubs can appeal. thats the whole point!

    does he think that the county court judges have to resign every time an appeal goes to the supreme court and wins?

    The guys a [censored] and knows nothing!

    Plus, he's [censored] ugly as [censored].

    The MRP is where the problem lies. All they can do is tick specific boxes and add up carry over points.

    Shocking system of judiciary.

    His simplistic view that Lynch was injured therefore Viney must go is actually against what the rule is. If it was a collision that was out of his control and he was forced to protect himself then it's not going against the rule. It's in fact working exactly as it should.

    If he deliberately bumps it's a different story.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
