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 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.

    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

    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

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
