Ok, can I have Shaw's mouth shut by a knock that doesn't knock him out? And Scully gets distracted by the sound of a jingling bag of coins being shaken by his old man? 

Even more colour, cool, keep the reports coming still have 45 minutes at work, all appreciated

    Sydney V GWS

    Hard to see this game with the stadium half in sun and shade.

    When in the sun the colours are hard to pick ..... the AFL need to have a think about their product !!

    It is surprising that in 2016 TV technology can't cope with sharp contrasts 

    And of course the AFL in their infinite wisdom could never force their favorite children to wear crap white, or other alternate strips in their first final

    He'll get 2, poor record I'd think DT.

    Yup, usual SJ, going to far and it will cost him.

    Kennedy back on, very scrappy game now. GWS look like the much better team but can't find a fwd inside 50 this qtr.

    Stevie J certainly deserves at least 2 for that dog act, especially given his history, but given his importance to the AFL love child club he will no doubt be free to play

    Cracking game at the moment.

    Gee, that was a poor decision from Parker.

    Yes but they have to face what all successful teams face, how to keep them all well paid and happy

    It is just wrong, in the interests of player safety, that Stevie J can in effect head charge into an opponent's midriff and be rewarded with a goal.

    This needs to be discouraged, not encouraged. 

    Someone WILL break their neck one day.  Only then will the usual AFL knee jerk response come into effect. 

    And another just before half time

    So dangerous yet not discouraged in any way.

    they'll lose a few of their older experienced players though

    Who cares? Smith thought it would just happen. 

    He blew it gloriously

    One of the most riveting halves of footy I've ever seen.  Incredible intensity, speed and skills.

    In the context of three years the irony is that they can stay around on lower salaries , rack up a premiership medal and then still have 3-5 years at another club on top dollar.

    Or GWS can do another Treloar... trade one or two for another pick in the top 5.

    Has to get one game, as he ran past the ball and took Kennedy out with what I thought was an elbow to the head. It was intentional and high contact and at least medium impact. He will get at least a week.

    Johnson, Patfull, Shaw and Mumford are all over 30 and all played at least 20 games this year. 

    If they can cope with their loss (especially Mumford) then yeah I agree with you.

    And Griffen is 30.

    Swannies only 2 points down at the half but with it all to do. Mills hammy, Tippet and Kennedy not 100% after a couple of head knocks each, GWS with so much pace. If they can hit a fwd target it will be a big win for them.

    Basil Zemplis (?) looks like a giant goose come to life.

    Plenty of tradeable assets to fill those holes, let alone development within the franchise.

    Maybe they'll draft Harvey to replace them? He's probably good for another 400 games!

    This match will end up as close as last night. Right down to the wire!

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
