I don't get it.  And what's in it for Carlton?  Nothing.

you don't get into trouble for having an opinion and colouring the description. what's in it for any supporter?

    He is a Carlton loyalist. Putting in his two bobs worth to rub it in to us. That's says enough. Who is going to dob him in.  No one is going to challenge his medical opinion.

    Okay, I just don't buy it.  I know many doctors and I don't know one that would be unethical in such a situation and doing it in a high profile situation is much riskier than I think you're giving it credit for.  There is nothing in it for Carlton and nothing in it for the doctor.

    I does seem that this situation gives us the opportunity to play the victim which is something I really hate but is part of the landscape (generally) now.

    Doctors last i looked were human.

    Dont for one moment think all are cast from the same mould.

    Essendon has a doctor. Not much chop push come to shove :rolleyes:

    Im not blaming doctors. The seeds for this farcical situation is firmly in ths AFLs corner and especially the MRP

    Doesn't help our cause when you have the crooked boohoos to boot !!

    and it's all about flavour of the month/year and then a massive over-reaction to make a statement

    this year it may be concussion, next year it may be broken limbs and some dolt will cop 5 weeks for diving on the ball and taking out someone's legs who will miraculously recover to play the next week

    remember jack trengove got a huge suspension for a sling tackle and dangermouse kicked 5 the next week in a bog. nobody since has got such a suspension for a sling tackle

    and all this occurs without the player(s) even getting a chance to defend themselves

    All the doc has to say is its his/her OPINION. Surprise, surprise Patricks playing this weekend.

    Exactly.  Obviously i wont name him but he worked very closely with me to get the outcome i wanted. They can put their name on just about anything without getting questioned. We got rogered and Carlton didn't even put on the lipstick

    If we take TWSNBN's doctor as the yardstick it could not be beyond the realms to speculate no injury at all to these players. Could this be true. Who turned up to training with a recording device and then had to put it in an orifice to not get caught. Stay tuned.....

    The Doc didn't even have to be sus. It could come down to a question of where is the line between low and medium impact? If you are annoyed that your team lost and two of your blokes get whacked you aren't going to be in a great mood. That mood may well have swayed it from one to the other, it may also have clouded their judgement. None of that is intentional, nor unforgivable, but it does show a problem with the system. The Fact neither player was immediately tested for concussion is interesting and questions should be asked.

    and one other point...........it wasn't behind play, it was in front of play and there is a big difference. jesse was positioning himself the ball about to come down. rowe trying to block him, pushed him in the chest whilst facing away from the ball......i don't call that behind play. jesse's jab was also an open hand. so reports of a punch behind play is wrong and just adds to the exaggeration. he should have got 1 week, that's all but he has to risk 3 just to plead his case

    On the positive, Watts bowled the umpy over without repercussions.

    He did what I dream of doing every weekend I watch us play (minus a few fists thrown in for good measure). Just another talent of his to appreciate :P

    On the positive side, if Hogan did have a niggle this gives him time to get over it and come back super fit and ready to rip the comp apart!

    Delayed concussion is real. Hogan used the five point palm exploding heart trick on Rowe's face.

    I think the intent was to not use a closed fist, rather than a pressure point blow to the head area, my opinion only

    Scintalating Stevo on the channels of 7 last night reminded carlscom that if indeed Rowe was concussed ( concushioned ) last week then he would have to be withdrawn this week.

    Personally I thought Cripps tripping over himself in the vicinity of Lewis and Viney was unfortunate.

     

    Jesse's way of getting a recuparitive week off was brilliant.

    Chris Scott can't coach and our team can at our new favourite away ground can.

    Interesting! 

    Watson said in last night's news something like - there was a bit of a fuss brewing at Carlton with Rowe selected to play. 

    Then Sam Mcclure said after the game last night he wouldn't be surprised if Rowe was a late withdrawl because of the 'little bit of concussion'.  (Note Carlton's medical report chose the words carefully - 'little bit of concussion'.  Hedged their bets: enough to condemn Hogan but not enough to stop Rowe playing?).

    Maybe the Channel 7 folk know something? 

    I would laugh and laugh if Rowe's 'little bit of concussion' backfires and he can't play:cool:  The only downside is its more likely Ess will win:mad:

    Best case scenario:  Rowe out and Carlton find a way to win!!

    I have a problem with this game, I dislike one club and the other is my most disliked club.

    • 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?

      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.
