    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.

    Self reported apparently.

    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!

    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.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
