Actually it was a perfect sling tackle. Arm pinned, spun and slung with no opportunity for the tackled player to protect the head hitting the turf, which it did. The only reason he wasn't reported is because Dom got straight up for the kick. 

Exactly.  If that wasn't a sling tackle, we need to erase the word "sling tackle" from our vocabulary because there's no such thing.

According to BigFooty it's because he's torched his reputation forever. I have a feeling he's regretting having dived.

He's had 1 kick and 9 disposals overall. Could also be because he's not playing well right now.

A deliberate elbow to the jaw is a deliberate elbow to the jaw.

Wonder how those tosseRs on the MRP will squirm out of that?  Insufficient contact? Accidental ?  or careless?  

Maybe, yet again, the Dees will be the test case - 3 weeks for exaggerating contact??

Who knows with such a corrupt wing of a corrupt organization.

The Oliver jab seems pretty soft but Oliver isn't a soft player so I would imagine the chest punch slipped up and copped him on the chin. He wasn't happy that's for sure. 

First quarter we were smashed and were lucky to have the lead, but I think the second quarter was pretty even and we've earned the right to be in front. Hannan needed to kick that goal before half time. 

We can win this but I feel like we need to get cleaner with kicking.

I agree too. Text book sling tackle. Thought we were lucky at the time but replayed confirmed it.

Jack Trengove would be pretty pi55ed off if that isn't cited.

i doubt oliver was staging, his a kid who got a swipe in the chops from a pretty hefty player that took him by surprise. he has always seemed to be a pretty tough kid from what I have seen. he certainly looked [censored] once he got up and still [censored] in the rooms.

As we all know, you're fighting a 4 goal umpiring bias in the west, and you'll never see a more obvious example than Jeffy's perfect dispossessing tackle in that last bit. The very definition of spineless, unaccountable umpiring. 

Quite amazing to see it go Eagles way....and yet:rolleyes:

WTF is Jack Viney on?  That first half was insane. 

We need a lift from the rest of the side though.  We're missing targets and letting WC off the hook far too often.  We should be well up by now.

From the angle they showed on tv there's no way you can guage the level of impact

Jack Viney has 16 contested possessions.  There are only three other players on the field who have 16 of any type of possession (Tyson, Lewis, Mitchell).  Playing the game of his life, the skipper.

That is an incredible effort.  Needs some support.

Agree if a side can kick the set shots and the ones running into an open goal they win. We should be 3 goals further up!

Exactly. He didn't see that coming. and it would have really hurt. There is no way he dived, west coast guy gets weeks..

Given what players are out and where we are playing....Ill take our small margin in front. 

This game is up for grabs.

Does Petrie have an opponent?

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
