Last night was an absolutely amazing contest.

Mainly because the umps let so much go. They just let them play. Long passages of play without any stoppages, players working tirelessly to get into space and take the game on. It was a great performance by both teams (bar Collingwood's first 20 minutes and their forward entries in the last 5).

How many soft high tackles, slides, holding the mans and in the backs did they let go? Wet conditions, scrappy contest: they let them play.

Great game to watch. Reminded me of '90s football.

We will find out this week at the MRP whether they regard the head as sacrosanct are if they are as corrupt as they sometimes appear. Taylor Adams [allegedly] DELIBERATELY kneed an opponent - I think

Fox Footy conceding that, while gushing for Rance's game tonight, the only player all year who has towelled him up was Hulk Hogan.

Hogan can burn teammates all day long if he'll kick 38 goals in 13 matches.

Just saw the Adams video incident for the first time

Angry little sh!t isn't he...

Exposed temple area. Very dangerous.

Should get a long holiday but it won't happen

The broadcast deal stipulates that. The AFL want the players on TV. Means the incident is forgotten quicker

Cynical attitude?

Yep....

Yes, was a cheap dogs act by Adams. Not just once either. If he gets off, it certainly sets a bad example to other levels of footy

Adams wont get off.

It'll be intentional, high contact with low/medium force.

If it's medium force I think it goes directly to the tribunal?

Whatever happens, it'll probably be 3 weeks down to 2 with a plea, although it deserves 4.

What a tower of strength and great leader is Travis Boak!

He consoled Ollie and other players last night, looked after his coach during the week, did interviews before and after the game, gathered the whole club in the rooms to sing the song. (BTW, I thought it was neat they sang it as their tribute even tho AFL had asked clubs not to).

He showed similar maturity after Port lost John McCarthy.

Boak strikes me as an extraordinary young man. Not as experienced but up there with Hodge as one of the very best captains IMO.

Not a bad player either ^_^

Boak is awesome. Remember when they were a rabble, lost a coach and president and so he re-signs. The next year they totally turned it around. Boak, Hinkley,Koche.

Your underestimating our very own who i think is up there with the top 3 in the competition.

Personally i thought it was disrespectful to play their stupid 'never tear us apart' song. I also disagree with them singing their team song. Why should they be any different to all clubs who paid their respects last week?

Tigers only won last week thanks to some dubious umpiring late in the game.

Last week I thought Richmond were smashed by the umpiring all game and got the inevitable square-up in the last term. They won because GWS were even more putrid than they were. It was a shocking game, and this one's not much better. The Tiges are lucky they haven't come up against strong opponents in the last two weeks.

This game rivals us vs lions last year as worst game I've seen.

Such deplorable skills by both sides.

Carlton are [censored] terrible and the Tigers are a joke as well. I have no idea how this side can roll teams like Freo and the Swans.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    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

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    The Demons head back on the road for their fifth interstate trip this season when they head up to Brisbane to take on the Lions under lights on Friday night at the Gabba. Who comes in and who goes out?

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.
