    Well NRL fans should have one more game of kissing and hugging that they do before all their tests come up positive and that will be the finish of their season.

    At least our blokes aren't the vice captain of their Club and they also have friends to visit.

    I am sure the Coach is in a good mood about it.

    Most players are not Einsteins, unfortunately they are not even Pavlovian Dogs.

    yes, but people who self-report generally do it for a reason (other than the transgression)

    essendon "self-reporting" ring a bell?

    I'm sure I saw two Richmond players doing a high 5 after one of their early goals.

    I think this should be investigated and the players rubbed out.

    I'll give them the benefit of the doubt this time, but any player that does it from next week on wards, will not receive any further sympathy from me.

    i wonder what will happen when someone self reports for an incident and they have subsequently played a game

    does club forfeit match points?   can get quite messy

    no problem for afl though....experts at making up rules on the run

    Dumb as horse crap. If they do not like any of the AFL's rules then go and play tiddly winks. Don't nominate for the draft, don't bother with AFL at any level. The club should come down hard on them. I don't agree with lots of rules but would play by the rules for the rewards now offered.

    I wouldn't be surprised if every such case that has occurred came to light, the AFL would be down to the 16 a side some are proposing pretty damn quick.

    Considering that the potential consequences of breaking iso rules should now be burned deep into the frontal lobe of every AFL player their actions are beyond stupid and really disappointing. As good a talent that Kozzie might be there is now a little part of me that hopes his replacement this week has a blinder and keeps his place for the following week.

    Just great our most exciting prospect in years gets suspended. We have no one in the emergencies that can cover him. I too hope Bedford gets a game as a result.

    We have no one in the team that can cover him.

    (Which is why we went so hard on drafting him in the first place.)

    sounds inevitable, but have afl handed down punishment yet?

    Has to isolate for 2 weeks with a certain track watcher.

    Carlton fan Andy Maher insisting that Pickett be suspended.

    Anyone know how they broke the restrictions?

    At a guess,  Maher shook Pickett's hand,  on being selected.?

    Its a strange thing when AFL players have to keep stricter rules than the rest of society. I just picked up daughter from her train trip home, we then went to the IGA to stock up for tonight's game, joining several other people who were doing the same... all legal I believe!

    Given recent suspensions and the club instructions they must surely receive- it just beggars belief 

    I am lost for words ........,,

    Did anyone else breathe a massive sigh of relief that one of the players was Spargo?

    I did, even though I like Spargo and haven't given up on him.

    My MFCSS had already kicked in and assumed player 2 was Bennell.  That emotional ride would have been too much.

    In fact, I had developed second-stage MFCSS within five minutes, imagining Bennell being devastated to miss his 're-debut', going out drinking, and doing his calf trying to run from a booze bus.  Totally implausible, pure MFCSS at its finest.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
