Can we release Masked Maysey to the AFL like they do in the NBA? Every player that wears the mask goes up another level!

    We have Riewoldt and Lynch in two weeks, just our luck to lose May.

    It’s a huge loss if he misses weeks.  Petty and Tomlinson get to have the crack at Lynch.  Daw might be double back up option.

    I would rather sacrifice Tmac to cover May till he returns with Daw coming in to play CHF/chop out ruck

    I'm not trying to be smart here but did you watch it from a few angles? 

    He hand balls the ball at waist height, why was there a need to elevate his left arm anywhere near his head with sufficient force to fracture his eye socket? If he was trying to break his fall for a potential tackle his arm would have gone downwards to limit the impact. 

    Tom has a history of this [censored]. He is a dirty player and IMO he took an opportunity to give one to May here. It just all doesn't add up why his arm goes up, and seems to accelerate towards May.

    As much as it troubles me to defend Geelong, Hawkins had possession of the ball and was during a handball action when the contact was made. It would be a very slippery slope to be suspended under such a scenario.

    so who is in for May?

    Petty or Daw

    Didn't Roos play Daw at fullback with great success? I'd be happy with either option.

    Goodwin ruled this out in post match press conference. I reckon it is something to do with a) Tom's kicking b) Tom's kicking and C) Tom's kicking.

    Didn't look good at all on the replay. Fortunately the AFL.com.au opinion editors cleared it.

    I'm with you GCD. The trajectory of the arm in the second motion is very dodgey imo

    Concussion is not the issue. It’s likely a broken cheek and/or sunken eye socket. He’ll be out for a while I think unfortunately.

    Yep if as bad as seems try 6-8 weeks

    I am reminded of Steven King’s wild boot swing at a loose ball back in 2005?, you know the boot that rearranged Jeff White’s face and he needed substantial facial reconstruction. That was deemed accidental, could happen to anyone! Well we all know it was reckless, high contact and severe impact and should have incurred several weeks suspension. Now we have Hawkins who does dish out a lot of damage because he is so big and strong. I would like the AFL to at least have a good look at this one. Throwing your arms around indiscriminately doesn’t mean you aren’t responsible for the outcome of your actions!

    That's where a coach comes in and instructs to play to his strengths and away from his weaknesses Chook.  It's called playing a role and staying within your strengths / capabilities / team game style and disciplines / structure.

    It's only when you step outside that and try to do too much you start trying to do things that are beyond your abilities and it ends up costing the team.  He can cover that spot in the short term till May gets back, provided he plays to those instructions.

    The alternative option... bring an alternate in to cover, say Petty, allowing Tmac to continue in his present role?

    A) Tom's kicking. B) Tom's limited lateral mobility. C) Tom's marking runs very hot and cold. D-Z) Tom's kicking.

    He's a forward and will stay in the side until Brown and/or Weid have earned their spots. After that we might try him on a wing where his tank creates mismatches, but not the backline.

    The lack of suspension to King will annoy me forever because there's just no reason to throw a boot above waist high, was beyond reckless.

    I think there's enough benefit of the doubt in this one because Hawkins is legitimately handballing and May is dragging him down in the tackle.

    The MRO seems to only issue penalties or statements that incidents were assessed. I wonder if they can go somewhere between on this one and offer some kind of official caution.

    Let’s hope against hope it’s not that bad but I think from the presser Goodie had some idea it wasn’t good news. At least once it settles down he should be able to keep up fitness levels etc with no contact to the head but have no idea what this type of injury means in terms of rehab

    Where was this said, out of interest?

    Robertson was speaking to Lever on the ground after the game and said it was just a cut, he's off at hospital getting stitches and will be fine.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
