Wow in what way ?

Just surprised. Could be the last final of his career. I’ve been there for my kids births and I didn’t do much. I’d hope my wife would understand and be ok for me to play

There is no way I’d have missed the birth of either of my children. 
 

it’s just football.

You weren’t there to do anything other than to ‘be’ there (not just for the child).

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...

I hear ya, it was a bad tackle. But by the rules the mro uses, there is zero chance of a suspension 

 

Could not believe the pro St Kilda dribble rushing out of McAvaneys mouth tonight. Honestly, they were close to rubbish tonight. They have a lot of of very ordinary footballers. Max King.....couldn’t kick a goal if his life depended on it. Hannebery, too old and slow. Howard, there is a reason Port let him walk. Hill, rabbit in the headlights. Jones, may have a little bit more pace than his big brother but nowhere near the ability. Kent, well do I even need to say anything? Lonie, did he even touch the footy? This team fell into the finals because they belted up a few easy victims early in the year, then got the Dogs who were abysmal last week. If we don’t go past them next year I will be mightily [censored].

Bruce was horrendous, as is the norm these days. How was the passage where Max King got the ball in the last quarter, ran straight into the tackle and Bruce shot his load because he liked what he saw. The guy was pinged for holding the ball. It was rubbish. I remember him doing the same for a young Hawthorn player that took on a Melbourne player in the 2018 final and got caught holding the ball, but his focus was on how good the hawks kid was for trying to take on the tackle. He has lost the plot.

Yes. Conor Nash I believe it was. Played 2 games this year. A very dangerous game predicting that a team will continue their success the next year. Look at us 2019. People say the Saints recruited well this year. Well, how did that pan out tonight.

Cotchin tackle... would be 2 weeks for ANB

Yes, but his wife is big on instagram. If anything, should have been reversed.

What has happened to Billings? So much talent. Thought he broke out a couple of years back. Poor tonight and an average season

looks extremely soft and seems injury riddled. He looked pretty pacey as a draftee but looked very slow tonight. Not quite sure what exactly has happened but looks quite sad to see

See Tom Lynch just did his subtle dig the knee into the neck there. 

The bloke is a gutless bustard. I hope Mitch Robinson gets to nail him as he promised.

Its just as much about supporting a partner through a major medical operation that carries with it very real risks of complication, as it is about simply meeting your 3rd kid.

Port are snarky. Hopefully they'll give those snipers Cotchin-Lynch some of their own with interest.

Yeah I know it’s about support, I’m not a complete A hole :-). But if her mum for example could be there, then is it still worth missing potentially the highlight of your career? Speaking hypothetically now. 

what if it was a grand final? 

I am still hoping for a Power v Lions GF. Could relax and watch the game without giving a damn.

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

Looked quite clear to me and the commentators.

How long will Cotchin not get? 
 

 

Bad tackle, should have been a 50 but I don’t see any justification for getting a week. He had his neck but let go so didn’t sling him all the way to the ground.

  • 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.
