The arrogance of that club and all involved is amazing. Continually letting them off or penalising them lightly is partly to blame. A monetary fine won’t suffice in this case.

    The AFL already putting their own spin on it and playing it down with the headline. They weren’t “caught up” in it, they were fully involved and subsequently arrested.

    Surely some poor bastard isn't going to cop the penalty for two knuckleheads who should already be boarding a plane out !

    It's what happens when the club leaves the adults at home...and the kids in charge.

    Obviously the message isn’t getting through , perhaps taking premiership points might actually deter this? 
     

    Seriously what a bunch of imbeciles

    Agree... Balme in Melbourne and how many gaffs by Hardwick and his team.

    This.

    Premiership points is the only deterrent. What do the players care about a fine paid out by the club? 8 premiership points puts the Tigers battling it out for a finals spot and impacts their peers.

    Perhaps the fine should be taken out of the Total Player Payments and not the livelihood of a staffer/coach.

    Interesting test of the so called independent journalists in AFL media.

    Nothing obvious on the AFL website 2 hours after the story has broken

    I think this incident really highlights the double standards with which the exemptions that the football community has received to be able to move across borders relative to the rest of us in society (except those with money and influence).  It’s actually just plain wrong , part of me wants Anastasia to just pull the pin on this season , morally there is something that doesn’t sit right with me that the afl will find a [censored] way to wriggle out of this like they always do, they treat the public with contempt 

    the afl are arrogant, maybe a harsh lesson is required here

    Surely Browne’s parents pay Channel 7 for him to work there. He can’t string a sentence together and his grammar is shocking.

    Propaganda machine in full swing aided by the media. It doesn't matter if they were drunk or not, it doesn't matter who started the fight. The point is why were they out at 3 in the morning in the Gold Coast crook city area. Stop the spin.

    Interesting the kebab guy reckons ‘not drunk’. Not sure about others experiences, but I’d find it rather difficult to stomach a 3.30am kebab after a couple of bags at the strippers!

    A police officer once told me nothing good happens after 3 am. And a full moon makes it 100 times worse.

    Oh come come Deemented you are being far too cynical. I’m sure lots of sober people crave a delicious kabab at 3am down Cavill Avenue , washed down with a raspberry Powerade . It’s just coincidental that the kebab shop happened to be located next to an exotic entertainment venue.

    • PREVIEW: Brisbane

      And just like that, we’re Narrm again. Even though the annual AFL Sir Doug Nicholls Round which commemorates the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture to our game has been a welcome addition to our calendar for ten years, more lately it has been a portent of tough times ahead for we beleaguered Narrm supporters. Ever since the club broke through for its historic 2021 premiership, this has become a troubling time of the year for the club. For example, it all began when Melbourne rebranded itself as Narrm across the two rounds of the Sir Doug Nicholls Round to become the first club to adopt an Indigenous club name especially for the occasion. It won its first outing under the brand against lowly North Melbourne to go to 10 wins and no losses but not without a struggle or a major injury to  star winger Ed Langdon who broke his ribs and missed several weeks. In the following week, still as Narrm, the team’s 17 game winning streak came to an end at the hands of the Dockers. That came along with more injuries, a plague that remained with them for the remainder of the season until, beset by injuries, the Dees were eliminated from the finals in straight sets. It was even worse last year, when Narrm inexplicably lowered its colours in Perth to the Waalit Marawar Eagles. Oh, the shame of it all! At least this year, if there is a corner to turn around, it has to be in the direction of something better. To that end, I produced a special pre-game chant in the local Narrm language - “nam mi:wi winnamun katjil prolin ambi ngamar thamelin amb” which roughly translated is “every heart beats true for the red and the blue.” >y belief is that if all of the Narrm faithful recite it long enough, then it might prove to be the only way to beat the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba on Sunday. The Lions are coming off a disappointing draw at Marvel Stadium against a North Melbourne team that lacks the ability and know how to win games (except when playing Melbourne). Brisbane are, however, a different kettle of fish at home and have very few positional weaknesses. They are a midfield powerhouse, strong in defence and have plenty of forward options, particularly their small and medium sized players, to kick a winning score this week after the sting of last week’s below par performance.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
