Ox on SEN is fuming Thompson only got the 1 week. Reckons he should have got 3 to 4 for a thuggery hit.

    They should have hit them harder and got some value for their suspensions.

    Worse possible outcome

    Argh! Next week is an incredibly important game. It will be made that every bit harder now that we won't have Hogan and Lewis out there.

    I'll admit that both action shows were reckless, stupid and deserved at least one week apiece, but two and three weeks respectively seems very harsh, especially considering that Thompson was only given the one week.

    Thank goodness we'll have Bernie set to come back in to cover for Lewis. Spencer seems likely to get a look in as well.

    I've calmed down a little bit and taken a breath from when I first read the news. [censored] you you bunch of corrupt [censored] pieces of [censored] AFL.

    The Lewis one stings the most.

    Against Geelong, we were never going to have either of them play.

    Hopefully against Freo, we can scrounge a win without both of them.

    But to then not have Lewis for the Richmond game in a massive Anzac Day eve game....hurts.

    given lewis cops three either way, might as well appeal his at any rate

    He'll get 4 if we appeal

    I believe 3 weeks is an absolute joke for Jordan lewis, but regardless the fact that he put himself in this situation is an indictment. 

    Jordan came to the club for leadership and skills and to teach a young team how to play AFL footy.

    Regardless of if he hit him or blah blah, Jordan put himself in the situation where a negative result could occur in a quarter where we were down in the dumps. He stooped down to the level, frustrated by our poor performance that quarter and hit a guy after a blues goal and got himself suspended.

    An absolute atrocity, and something he should feel very ashamed of

    Our so called improved depth will now get tested.

    Trengove Bugg Kent Pedersen Kennedy will be pushing their case over the next couple of weeks.

    So is Hogan out for 2 or 1 with an early plea?

    The AFL site is saying he will miss both Geelong and Freo games.

    I just watched the Thompson hit- I do not understand how the MRP come up with their deliberations. That was far more forceful and dangerous than anything Lewis or Hogan did.

    The inconsistency is incredible.

    Cleary the colour of the jumper influences the penalty Cannot believe this 

    This is nothing new for us. The AFL always hit the non-favoured clubs harder reynold. The AFL never changes its spots. We are easy pickings

    We are 2-0 and they are 0-2. Must be the only way anyone sane could look at that Thompson decision. One of the more dangerous and gutless things I've ever seen. 

    Throwing punches isn't great behaviour but at least the other guy is going toe to toe with you. A blind cheap shot elbow could've cracked any number of bones in Dangerfield's head.

    Hogan got 3 down to 2, can accept 2 games

    That is insane.

    I can understand a week, or even two for what they did, but three weeks?

    Phenomenal decisions.

    Cannot believe the Thompson one, consider Rance's dog hit on Watts last year was almost the same, but with less force. And he got 2 for that.

    Angry but not suprised. 

    After Varcoe got one week and Bernie got the same. 

    Seige mentality now Demons

    This is the biggest load of BS.

    • 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.

    • 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.
