Jeff Garlett fined

I know it gets said a lot, but what a great pick up he has been, relative to what he cost us. We were crying out for a good 40 goal a year small forward as well.

Anyway, glad he got off. It was stupid, but very low impact and was never really going to draw too much attention.

Career best form AND improving. Just a gun. What a classy player. Hopefully we get the best out of him.


I also appreciated the little apologetic hand up gesture to the umpire where Garlett acknowledge he'd made the mistake.

And that it didn't disrupt his concentration.

Honestly he is one of our most important players now. Glad to hear he will be out there Vs the bombers.

Pity Sidebottom only got two,always plays well against us.

maybe he'll appeal....

 


Loving the chemistry brewing between he and BenK too. 

Throw in Kent and it's a nice mix of speed, skill and aggression. 

 

Could've hit Davis a bit harder to make Hogan's day a bit easier, but oh well. 

There was nothing in it other than a very obvious careless high tackle free kick 

Still, with the MRP's  history one just never knows  

Move on and enjoy the win. 

A fine for what exactly?!

Fmd this game is getting softer. And what was with Phil Davis carrying on like a little [censored].

Rightfully so, nothing more than a free kick

Couldn't agree more, Its a joke it was referred. It was in play and a little clumsy. Rightfully a free. That's it.

I only watched him on TV vut he came across as an absolute [censored] and spoilt brat.

 

the pushing &holding and interference on the the fwds by GWS was borderline and at some times surpassed within the rules.

So Garlett gets fined $1000 for a late brush on Davis. Suckling gets off scott free for clocking a Geelong player in circumstances very similar. We won't mention Merrett breaking Pederson's face and it's play on.

Couldn't agree more. It was one of the reasons I left early. Then, a miracle happened, they found 2 free kicks for Hogan, both of which were probably less deserved than some of the manhandling of Watts and Hogan in particular for most of the first three quarters.

Hodge dropping a knee onto Bartel, no case move on, any thoughts? Probably of no consequence now that he is injured and out for 6.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
