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.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
