The Arc. Wow, how embarrassing for the AFL. Vlastuin clearly missed the ball, you could see daylight between his fist and the ball. Arc too scared to overrule.  Whately will go nuts.

    Yep, will probably get a fine for that but honestly deserves weeks.

    In a fair system he would get at least a week but as we know it's not a fair system.

    Thought it would have been a 50m at least, happened after the whistle for the first infringement.

    Pretty uninspiring game so far, hopefully the Saints make a game of it in the second half.

    Poor quality game tonight. Low tackle count and bar a few minutes of Shia Bolton magic it’s been a snooze fest.

    The AFL is still amateur in this regard. Could decide a flag and it’s not good enough. 
    if the technology is not there, stick with the goal ump

    Just had a meal at a friends house.  They are mad Richmond.  Except for the wife.  The wife of the family invited us around not realising richmond were playing in a knock out final.  I said to mate when I walked in, sorry mate, we'll eat and get the hell out of your hair.  Left at half time.  Got home and whacked on the internet and jumped on here to Demonland.  Because thats all we've got to feed the Dee bug.  Emotions rush back to me about losing those Cairns games.  Could have been more or less locked in in the finals with a week or two to play.  We [censored] up this year.  Still bloody hurts.

    Watch the AFL say it was a correct decision. They hate any criticism.

    As Daisy said I can’t that getting weeks. It was a high tackle but the damage was done by Jones landing awkwardly. No justification for a suspension that I can see

    The original idea of the video review was for obvious/clear mistakes. Umpires call was the correct call by ARC

    Absolutely disgrace to say that was inconclusive 

    We could all see it at home

    Saints bought players failing badly. Brad Hill scared sh-tless. Marshall their best by a mile.

    Kent did well there

    This is a damp squib. Richmond haven’t had to get out of second gear.

    Looking forward to one of Geelong or Collingwood getting knocked out tomorrow.

  • Quote

    Hopefully tomorrow nights match is better. This one has been a fizzer. Saints have kicked themselves out of it.

    Such horrible skills from the saints. 

    the tigers are happy to sit back let them attack. When they get within 4 goals they get one and relax again.

    He slung him from around the neck...that's where the damage was done.

    He also landed awkwardly because of the slinging motion of the tackle...

    ...by the way who thinks we might have picked the right Freo wingman?

    Nowhere near the cost but much greater value.

    2 of my 3 most disliked players playing tonight, Lynch and Cochin, both snipers. The other is Stringer.

    Is it true Carlisle missed the match due to his wife having a baby?? Wow

    Terrible game, eps. saints kicking at goal, robbed themselves of any chance.

    But you can see from the outset they could not handle the pressure that tigers bought to the game, could not adjust to the higher tempo as a team.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
