Hodge is a dog. Always has been. Wish he was ours.........

I think Andrew Swallow might be in a bit of strife. His chin made forceful contact with Luke Hodge's forearm. On MRP history, that's at least two weeks.

Merrett didn't even get cited for something I thought was much worse against Pedersen last year.

I wonder when an eye for an eye will be dealt out to hawthorn? Can't remember when they've been physically attacked in this era. Not saying it's right, just saying it might be necessary...

Can see the afl tribunal finding a way to give them one week each. God i hate the dorks. Almost as much as essenscum

As I said elsewhere Harford is on the MRP expect maximum leniency.

Agree.

Just wish we were good enough to do it.

Interesting that Hodge threw his at the 13 min mark when they were level with North, North then lost focus and Hawks motored on.

Hawks play GWS and Demons next two weeks.

They'll get 3 with plea down to 2. Get them cherry ripe for Swans after us.

Actually an interesting aspect to Hodges over reaction to Swallow, it happened in a footy match, on a grass field and against a very fit victim. The consequences are thus reduced. It should be adjudicated on the consequences that could have happened. Elsewhere it could be termed a cowards punch.

North's response was pathetic. Needed to forget football for 5 minutes and knock Lewis and Hodge out. Then get on with trying to win the game. Have to fight fire with fire. Hodge will be lucky to get 2 and Lewis 1.

The Ice Hockey sin bin rule needs to come in here which will be especially critical and relevant in a GF match where there's no tomorrow.

The following sin bins should be considered >>

- if a player is knocked down off the ball or well after a play/mark is completed like the incidents above>> 20 minutes minumum or rest of the quarter (whichever is longer.. ie., if there's oly 10 minutes left player is binned for remaining 10 minutes plus first 10 minutes of following quarter) ; OR

- If under the above scenario the effected player misses the entire match (ie., doesn't return after the concussion test) being subbed, then player responsible for that player missing remains binned for the entire match also, whether or not a sub is available.This could result in a team having only 17 players or less available and on the field depending on the fitness/health/availability of remaining interchange/sub players. Regardless the instigator misses the remainder of the match.

If Lewis gets one week I am giving it up. He has no defence, high contact intentional and high impact surely that is two with a guilty plea. But then it is the Dorks.

Chook they somehow deemed Merrett to be going for the ball. I can't see Lewis putting up the same defence and having credibility. He came in sideways and late but I am sure they will try it on. Goldstein has an eye not a squashed nose, the only difference is where contact happened.

Hodge and Lewis.

Two weeks each in my opinion.

But Hawks are scary. They are warriors.

You say warriors, I say bullies. But yes they are scary.

Nothing to do with the Dorks Hood. This is one of the AFL's pin up boys in one of their top 3 Vic clubs. Protected species. They want as many of their big guns up and running in as many prime time broadcast matches as possible throughout the year ie., bigger ratings = additional advertising revenue = more willingness for broadcaster/s to bid higher on next contract

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
