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: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
