After watching Jordan Lewis on 360, it is blatantly obvious that he was retaliating something we haven't seen. I am not excusing the action, but it is a shame the MRP don't rewind another 30-40 seconds on all of their Camera angles. 

Odds on. Cripps and Rowe will both play this week. 

Next time we play Carlscum we must retaliate smarter with more discretion. 

Do not forget.

    Sorry that's what I was wondering... imagine if Cripps gets taken out with a bump like the one Varcoe hit Dalhaus with in rnd 1. In of itself the hit might not have caused an injury but with the existing fracture it turns into a more serious injury. How can the medical report play any serious role in the MRP decision making process...

    the MRP should be judging the act,not the consequence of the act if they are to ever be seen to be consistent. 

    Agree.

    I get annoyed when media types like Robbo blatantly distort facts, like saying that when Jessie hit Rowe, Rowe wasn't looking at him.

    Not only was he looking at Jessie he was pushing him in the chest when Jessie lashed out.

    Also it has been described all week as a strike or punch, until today when it has been admitted on the AFL site to be an open hand.

    Just prefer the media to try and be accurate, which clearly is very difficult for them. 

    It sounds as though your expectations of Robbo might be a bit high. He's a cretin.

    I flicked over to his show with Gerard Whately the other night and it was absolute garbage. Their so called 'banter' involved them clamouring to speak over each other, and then Whately went on a 5 minute rant about how Buckley should be given a contract extension this week. Couldn't watch any more after that.

    Could one of you experts enlighten me? If Rowe's got concussion, is he even allowed to play this week? Isn't there some kind of compulsory rest system? (Like I lot of you here, I was sitting just a few metres from the incident - Rowe appeared to me to be acting like an Italian soccer player - either that or Hogan is one mighty beast)

    Noted Cripps and Rowe both selected to play this week. If Cripps corps another knock and displaces fracture are Carlton negligent?

    How is it any different than a concussion test? In fact in some ways it is worse because it's a hell of a lot more obvious, and negligent as you say.... that said it's the same for Richmond and Martin for that matter,

    I was there and heard patty Cripps saying some pretty average things to a couple of our boys at one point, I won't repeat them but I would have smacked him as well. 

    The match review panel doesn't seem to care about the cause of issues just the way the game appears to spectators

    Were they secret codes? Not sure why you wouldn't feel comfortable reporting on what was said?

    It was in extremely poor taste and I'm not sure the specifics really matter, I've played footy so I know what sledging is, but what I heard I felt was across the line

    I'm obviously just digging for goss. But we've seen it before in the media when a player has verbally crossed the line and it could help to turn public opinion. Which I don't really care about either (but I'd be happy if it ramped up our rivalry with Carlton).

    Geez I'm shocked Rowe got selected this week, even though he had severe concussion.

    Maybe this could spur the AFL into setting up an inquisition inquiry into Carlton's duty of care to their concussed players. (I know they won't, by the way, but it should).

    I think there is an unspoken line and some players cross it just to try and get a reaction like that.

    Certainly interesting both players are fine to play this week as i feel the Carlton medical reports played a big part in the length of the bans of our players.

    Like others I'm not condoning the actions by our players, but I definitely feel they've done a bit of dodgy on us.

  • Quote

    So Rowe was fine to play out the game, got "delayed concussion" and is fine to play this week.

    The only time he was concussed seems to be for the MRP report.

  • Quote

    Yep 1st Rowe plays the game out.
    Then gets delayed concussion after the game.
    And now playing this week.
    Same BS with Cripps.
    Forkin' Joke.

    Both Carlton and the AFL just ooze with integrity, don't they.

    Gil needs to make a statement - but of course he will have to run a poll first.

    At least we can no longer be accused of playing 'bruise free' footy.

    This club has finally re-branded itself. We are hard now. Genuinely.

    We have long memories in footy. I can't wait until we play Carlton again. If they even so much lift a finger on one of our players, I hope we put in a medical report to suggest that our player was severely concussed and has a broken bone, but is still such a machine they will play the following week.

    It's a fit up and that's been obvious since Monday.

    The integrity-free zone known as the AFL will do jack about it.

    Imagine if this had happened to Collingwood, or Essendon, or St Kilda, or Geelong ... the outcry would be tremendous.

    As it is, not a whisper.

    Why? What is the missing ingredient?

    Answer: supporters in the media. Very few supporters in the media. Mostly the media still regard us as unimportant and making up the numbers and can't quite accept what's unfolding under Goodwin. They will have to be dragged kicking and screaming to the reality bus.

    There is only one remedy and that is winning games.

    Especially round 16.

    Agree, I think we'll make Carlton regret their little games with these medical reports, which were clearly falsified/manipulated to suit their agenda.

    Carlton have always been sore losers. Now they're not just sore losers, but frequent losers too.

    Feels great to see them struggle!

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

    • 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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. 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. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      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.
