Taylor Walker only gets a week suspension. A bit light.

Yeah it's clear now more than ever that they assess the outcome rather than the incident itself.

If the Geelong player didn't return to the field, Walker wouldn't be playing Melbourne in 2 weeks.

    Agree. What they should be looking at instead is the potential for that action to cause serious injury to the brain, not the outcome. If they are serious about thuggery and head clashes that's what they'll do, but it is the AFL, bunch of crooks.

    Ok I know it's still 2 days away but I just saw the fixture and saw the Friday night game. Are the AFL serious? StKilda v Carlton? How do the Saints get a friday night game, that game should be on saturday at our timeslot and we could have had that friday night game. I mean surely we deserve one more than the saints. There are even other games that are more worthy on friday night. Any of the 3 sunday games or gws and tigers. 

    Lewis Martin from 7 would know that friday night not a lot of people will be tuning in and it won't be great ratings for them. 

    Just looked at the fixture for tonight's game.  Wow - can't wait.

    I normally watch at least a quarter or two between other viewing, but not sure that tonight's game warrents as much as a 5min flick for a curious score check.

    It just ducks that Carlscum would have been able to milk additional sponsorship  $ out of Friday night exposure.  Let's hope that changes next year.

    I will actually tune into this game because I will find it intriguing. Maybe the blues will do something we couldn't do a few weeks ago. If the saints play the way they did against us they will smash Carlton.

    Imagine had the ‘victim’ been a Carlscum player.  Tex could have received a life time ban after the CFC doctor’s autopsy report, after which the victim would have played the next week and been BOG ?

    Gee Cripps is good to watch. Carlton are lucky to have him. Im also liking the access the saints have given Matthew  Richardson on the interchange bench.

    You can slice it, dice it, boil it, fry it - no matter what spin or half price tickets you put on it - this is just an ordinary game of footy.

    Off to read my book and mentally prepare for tomorrow afternoon.

    Jed Lamb living up to the legacy of former Carlton greats by being an eye gouger  and then topping it off by kneeing someone in the back. 

    What a class act he is. ?

    The bias towards Carlton by mcevaney and co is disgusting.

    I could only manage to watch about 5 minutes. Awful footy and WTF are Carlton wearing, pyjamas?

    i thought that their song mentioned something about navy blue! 

    Fantastic scheduling Gil and henchmen.

    Personally if b brown commented on how I played I would drop the bloke next game. Afl is a basket case. No wonder we are losing kids to other sports. A joke !

    What makes this game so hard to watch is that the commentary team want the Blues to win so badly.  Every time they do something half decent they are making it out to be the play of the century.  Everyone else can see the Blues absolutely stink and are a horrible football club who are going nowhere.

    It's player takeover week, they've been doing it all week on all their shows.

    Just Channel 7's attempt at saving face for another godawful fixturing decision that's partly their fault. This fixture has been the butt of jokes all week long but you'd never know watching 7's coverage. They were probably instructed beforehand to be overwhelmingly positive about Carlton, to avoid a mass switchoff by viewers (as if anyone was tuning in in the first place).

    This game should have been played on Sunday at 9am

    incredible

    You're being silly. 3 am would be more appropriate. It's excruciatingly bad. It's like watching a train wreck.

    Very insightful interview of Simon Lethlean from Richo. Onya Channel 7.

    You should have written that in very small font

    3am on Sunday morning people are still awake. 

    9am is a “dead zone” apart from those in hospital

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
