Not enough. 

Correct. His hit on Gawn deserved suspension. Although weirdly him being able to play next week makes the Lions a worse side so maybe it’s a win.

    Textbook definition of a [censored] bloke.

    Just a disgrace of a human on the field, and with his comments about Sandy Hook, off field too.

    Just saw the video where he said that. How that got off the cutting room floor and into the public domain is beyond me. And probably a big strike against the Brisbane Lions for letting that onto their website as Alex Jones has families legally pursuing him for pushing that stuff.

     He is absolutely awful.   His decision making, free kicks against and disposal were horrendus on sat nite.  Why would you want him suspended. Prefer him in the starting 22 for the Lions every week.

    Rhys Mathieson spent most of the game when he was subbed on trying to belt our players. There was at least 3 or 4 incidents.

    Nakia Cockatoo did it to Jack Viney too when he flipped Jack over and he landed on his backside or hip. However, he did more damage to his own player Daniel McStay with that accidental knee or foot to the face though.

    Grant Birchall did it as well when he kneed Clayton Oliver in the back or kidneys. That was incredibly dirty and dangerous. But he is a former Hawthorn player so it isn't surprising. In fact, Clayton Oliver always get belted by someone and we definitely need to make mention of this to the umpires.

    The Melbourne Demons players need to be wary of this and protect eachother.

    The Lions are a bunch of snipers that love to dish it out, but quickly go crying to the umps when the shoe is on the other foot. Dogs are like this as well.

    GWS is the worst of the lot.

    Mummy is literally rolled out every few weeks when he's semi fit to just belt guys in the ruck. And I won't even mention Toby Greene.

    Example number 897123 that the MRO system and its plethora of fines doesn't work.

    Could not agree more. Even a suspended sentence would be more effective. So many serial offenders getting fined and then using 'no suspensions' as evidence of good character; complete nonsense.

    The only people seriously looking into Rhys would be his team mates and coaching staff.  His Lions comrades would have to be incredibly embarrassed when reviewing his game. 

    The whack on Kozzie was pathetic by itself.  However the charging into Maxy absolutely reeked of a coward footballer.

    Every AFL footballer would have been watching our game and the fact he didn't have eyes on the pill or even look at the ball at any stage or try turn his body to attempt the spoil was truly humiliating.

    His team mates, trying to promote a tough brand would genuinely be ashamed for his antics.

    I'm sure I heard a commentator refer to him along the lines of everybody's favorite Uncle. 🤢

    He would never get a game in our team. That he keeps getting a game at Brisbane shows their poor depth. Culturally he’s a cancer. I mean he’s also a crap player which doesn’t help. 
     

    Absolutely. Greene is a grub and a thug and I hate him but he’s a sensational player. Top 5 in the AFL when he’s on song. 

    So what? I don't like his song repertoire.

    He truly is The Barometer 

    when he plays, the Lions play poorly and generally lose

    If Mathieson isn't the worst footballer in the league I don't know who is.

    I can't believe Richmond Picked up Parker, I thought he was pretty close. Admittedly hasn't been to bad at Richmond. And good on him.

    As seen elsewhere, he's more rectal thermometer than barometer.

    It goes against the spirit of the game. Another way of interpreting it is 'bringing the game into disrepute'. The head honchos at AFL House seem to love preventing such actions from taking place, yet they continue to bury their head in the sand over this farcical behaviour.

    Selwood has created a monster - the AFL condones the clones' cheating and deceiving. Umpires aren't as smart as they were years ago.

    To an extent. I thought some of Mitch Robinson's antics were pretty embarrassing also. Not thuggish but certainly not great.

    Him swearing after the siren was gold. Not so soft now are we Mitchy?

    That was not deliberate at all... he was contending for the ball in a way that happens numerous times in any match.  It was purely bad luck; just a footballing incident where no one is to blame.

    He completely lost it at the umps at one stage in a fashion that really should result in a fine if we're trying to protect umpires and set a good example. Not a huge issue, players from all teams have done it, but that kind of stuff isn't on. Otherwise I thought he was fairly restrained.

    I thought I’d post this here to warm the hearts of all who have contributed to this thread. 🤓

    Good, we always need more villains to vituperate against. Selwood and Greene can’t do the job on their own. He provides an outlet every supporter needs or else they will over abuse designated whipping boys or kicking pets.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive.

Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
