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

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
