AFL will use the “we didn’t get the medical report back in time” excuse again

It's really a disgrace how they bend over backwards not to suspend big name players. It's beyond time where the media should be calling them out on it.

 

"I've seen the (Hawkins) incident, what I will say is what I think in recent weeks in the AFL is moving away from suspensions.

"I agree with the AFL's approach, you want the best players out there playing so I'd hope there's consistency in that."

What I take from that is he’s happy for someone to clean him up come next weekend.

Seems that way doesn’t it. 

Open the Floodgates....

Dangerfield is absolutely trying to influence the AFL.  UNBELIEVABLE ARROGANCE. 

Hawkins deserves 2 weeks minimum.  Head high. Off the ball. Medium impact.

I am overseas at the moment and planned my trip around being home for the GF and watching the Dees win a flag - seriously what was I thinking??

Clearly, you're stark raving mad like all the rest of us.

Seriously, if you weren't, we'd think there was something wrong with you.

 

An aside

just turned on to watch the Storm who play in an hour and caught the last half of the NRL women's match.

Excellent quality. As a sport it it appears to be far more transferable quality wise between the genders.

1 week.  Doubtless will win no-risk appeal.  Staged.

In fairness to my mental state, my husband is a Pies supporter so there was no chance I can extend my holiday even if I want to. I have told him he can go home and I will linger in Italy a bit longer but he was not too impressed with that idea ???

EAD Hawkins. You might kick lots of goals but you’ve always been a staging and sniping piece of [censored]. 

 

Clearly I’m a fan.

That would explain a fair bit. What a double whammy. I have no such excuse, being the only football follower in my family. Locked in a prison of my own making. Which may be worse? Even contemplating that could drive me mad(der).

Hawkins should have been rubbed out for 4 to 6 with his record of brutality and shifty behind play incidents and i wouldn't have him at MFC either. This game was set up for Sooky and his team to win no matter what,  with the phone calls flying between the AFL and the cats saying things like.........how much off ball interference can we get away with, "Christo" and his (ex cat) mate, and then along comes dopey..

 A pathetic umpiring performance wher the maggots had been instructed to not allow a Team to proceed further that had dared to make a laughing stock of the AFL.......no votes from me!!!!

Graded as intentional, high contact with a low impact 

If it were a boxing match it would be a KO punch. Schofield was down for at least the full 10 count. Low impact is a joke. 


I wonder if the lions got into the finals a year to early. So far they aren't really handling the start gws have got off to and when you see Hodgey kicking it out on the full it's not a great start. 

I just wonder if the giants if they get through next week have the guts to apply the same tactics against the pies.

Dangerfield is happy for one of the ‘best’ players to clean him up.  So Lachie Neale is welcome to punch him in the face, without any recriminations.

Best quarter of footy I’ve watched all year. Had it all. Cameron is a dead set champ playing through the pain. I though he had busted his arm. Carn the bears!

toby is the ultimate villain. Love to hate him and wish we had him

Fabulous quarter... there's a few GWS players who don't like to work hard the other way too often.  Hard working teams who can maintain possession  reasonably well will find them out

Edited by Rusty Nails


No quarter given by either team....both playing socially unfriendly footy.

Robertson's little back slap on Whitfield right in the small of the back where he'd just taken a hit to put him down again.  Classic

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • 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.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
