What a play from Hodge.

I hate the rule, but it should have been a free against Hodge for diving at the player's legs.  We had one paid against us on Saturday.  It sucks.

Yes and no, his intention was the ball as opposed to tunnelling the opposition player.

But that free kick isn't meant to be decided on "intention".

The biggest surprise to me on Monday was that the Hawks weren't able to capitalise on some incredibly generous umpiring. This was but one example among many.

Is it like the speccy rule? Take the mark and you can sit on someone's head or knee them in the back, drop it and it's a free.

I think the umpiring went both ways. The 360 tackle and incorrect disposal.

They paid the market price for Heeney last year. 

No, they paid an end of first round pick for the best mid in the draft who would have otherwise gone top two.  Heeney, like Ablett before him, has the distinction of having forced a rule change due to the manner in which he was acquired by his club.

Yes didn't we offer our pick 2 for Heeney thus forcing the Swans to use their first round pick? I believe Roos was well aware of Heeney's ability and was happy to risk the Tracc or Brayshaw for him. Swans got a bargain there and this year the rules have changed and you have to trade in draft points to get academy players or father sons depending on how they are rated in points.

I think the umpire made the correct decision in not calling that a free kick. Hodge didn't take out Greyson's legs. If he had it should've been a free, but it seems he didn't make significant contact.

Reading the afl injury list I saw that Freeman is now listed as indefinite with a hamstring injury that has plagued him for his first two years at Collingwood (might be a different leg to his original injury, not sure). I was pretty keen on him pre-draft with his explosive pace a highlight and was unsure about Salem at the time of drafting him. Suffice to say I'm happy having Salem on our list. Another win for Taylor.

Correct, we bid pick 2 for Heeney and pick 3 for Mills this year

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
