this is a serious integrity issue for the afl. i don't think you guys should be trivialising it. before we know it players will be decorating themselves with colourful tattoos and where will we be then?

    Exactly dc if they suspended by area covered we have a couple of players including our captain who are facing lengthy spells in the outer.

    Could he get a built coloured Headband Tattoo to get around this.

    I think if you need the headband something tells you it may be time for a haircut. But yes I did think it was a bit dramatic putting it on page 2.

    From the HS article

    "But the AFL establishment refused to allow Hunt the freedom of expression, saying all head bands had to be a single colour."

    Have the AFL even bothered to look at some of the shoes players wear these days?

    Didn't Jim Stynes wear a hat in one game??

    He did up at the GABBA in the early 90s.  It was fluro green, too.  I'd love to see Jake Spencer get one of those over his noggin' on Monday night.

    It was a cap and if my memory serves me properly, it was pulled off in the forward pocket by some Richmond scum.

    Is there no limit to the AFLs capacity to look stupid ?

    IMHO young Hunt has far too much hair on his head and should give some to Nathan Jones.

    It's not AFL issue, therefore not allowed.

    What would happen, god forbid if there was a Nuclear war and Hunt was wearing the incorrect headband, there would be hell to pay, that's what.

    According to Demonwiki, he had the peak ripped off by Dion Scott and the rest of it ripped in half by Matthew Kennedy.  Who did those hacks think they were, touching a gentleman's hat?

    I've got to admit - all aspects of that story sound hilarious.

    I can't find any picture of it, but I did find this one, which I don't remember him doing:

    Typical of someone like Matthew Kennedy to rip the hat in half as well, considering he was only half as good as Jim.

    Thank you I stand corrected. Don was a bit of a fashionista in his full length black leather overcoat I guess a cap offended his sense of haute couture

    Hah, but no, this was Dion Scott - a fairly modest CHF/Ruckman from Tassie that played for the Bears in the 90s.

    Oh I didn't see the "i" Yes and he would have been forgotten if not for the cap episode

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
