I'm not sure if I'm seeing things tonight but wasn't Lake being eye gouged by Petrie when he retaliated by putting the chocker hold on him.

The commentators seem to have totally missed it and are focussing on Lake's reaction. Am I seeing things?

    Yep with you rjay bud, they completely missed it.

    One of few times I'll be wanting the hawks to get up. Just can't have the roos

    North are the enigma of the AFL. That burst of goals against Hawthorn was reminiscent of what they did to us a fortnight ago and yet last week they struggled against Brisbane.

    They're running hot tonight. Interesting last Q coming up.

    Will Norf poop the bed again??? Here is hoping not as it was enjoyable to see Hawks implode that 3rd qtr.

    I reckon Lake is looking at a very long stretch on the sidelines. I reckon Petrie wasn't far of losing consciousness!

    4 weeks minimum imo

    Uh-oh is it happening again for Norf....

    Ps if Hawks do lose what are the odds of a Brendan Bolton lead coup against Clarko during the week??

    I guess the question will be does eye gouging trump the choker retaliation ?

    North are certainly an enigma. Maybe we weren't so bad getting beaten by this iteration of Norf, as compared with that which was beaten by Lions.

    So what would you do if someone was gouging your eyes?

    Looked a bit red around the eyes after, Petrie was having a good dig.

    I would be surprised if they both don't get weeks.

    I'm not an advocate for retaliation, but if someone is on top of you pushing your larynx I think you can forgiven for doing almost anything to get them off you.

    Other way around 'Axis', Petrie's fingers went to Lakes eyes then Lake went for the throat the way I saw it. Would really like to see a slow mo of this one.

    edit: just had a look at video on the AFL site. They go to ground after a Lake tackle, Lake is on top of Petrie with his arm around Petrie in a headlock then Petrie's fingers go to Lake's eyes. Lake then pushes up and pushes his other hand down on Petrie's throat.

    I think Lake is the one retaliating.

    Just saw a decent still pic... Petrie was indeed gouging lakes eye... [censored] poor on both behalves. Both will get weeks.

    Just finished watching GWS v Adelaide and was fascinated by Voldemort's game. I have a feeling that with only 3 kicks and 6 handball's today, the lad might just miss out on the votes for the club best and fairest award, The Kevin Sheedy/Tom Scully Medal.

    I'm also fascinated by the fact that every time I see a GWS game, they seem to get a good run from the umpires. I wouldn't mind getting 24 frees to 12 tonight.

    According to the stats on the AFL app he had 10 possessions. Thats 10% better than you guys give him credit for.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
