No. There was no play on call and he was tackled to the ground.

That's where I reckon the rule needs changing.  Waiting for the play on call is unfair to the tackler. While I admit the one tonight was line ball, I reckon the umps should decide the issue without hiding behind a 'no play on' call if it is clear the player was playing on.

    Early call, but the Baggers remind me a little bit (actually a lot) of our Neeld era club. Lots of very ordinary players, dodgy recruiting and “guns” who seem to be getting no better (Dow?). It seems they have put 30-50 games into a very ordinary list, and topped up the guns with very ordinary second tier players. Cripps a star, but apart from Walsh, no one else looking like it. Cheap shot by McGovern, then fell over like a pack of spuds. Ordinary! May they continue to suffer!!!!

    Agreed. I think Cripps should get out of there. No idea where he should go though....

    why the usual half time break?

    Thought they all wanted to shorten it and it was only kept so the fans could get to the toilet etc....No fans ...so

    No no no.... They had 4 number 1 picks run out tonight! 

    They have 9 first round picks playing tonight (if you include Martin) 

    Most of those picks are top 10 as well....

    God. This is incredibly boring. If that is what we are in for there really is no point. I’m going to watch Netflix - had enough.

    No different than  any other season opener between Richmond and Carlton.

    Absolutely zero atmosphere. The worst thing is that it emphasizes the terrible commentators and umpires.

    I was thinking this playing without crowds thing advantages GWS the most out of all the clubs.  It will be like they are getting a home game every round.

    Basically in junk time as far as I'm concerned. 

    He would have been handy, but not at inflated prices.

    Has tackling become passé in the modern game? I don’t know how you can match the Tigers without closing down space and tackling relentlessly.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
