    Agree

    Cotchin's tackle was way worse than Lynch knee. Should've been a week, maybe even 2 weeks in a normal H&A season

    Cotchin is a massive sniper

    Lynch is a key forward, so it's fair to assume he cops heaps of treatment from his weekly tormenter. If he hands out the occasional sly one it's no big deal for me.

    $750 fine.  Wow that will really discourage him and his $%# coach from continuing to snipe.  A football penalty is the only thing these guys understand.

    Is that Lynch’s third fine for the year?

    Fourth.

    Sam Collins, Jarrod Witts, Alex Witherden.

    The Michael Hurley incident did not result in a fine.

    Aren’t players suppose to cop a suspension after they’ve received three or four fines in one season?

    if that were the case you could safely bet they would have found a reason to not fine him

    I don't understand the concept:' Its finals time. There’ll be no suspension nor should there be.'

    So, because it's a final, anything goes. That is codswallop bean curd crapola.

     

    It's what happens though, I don't understand alot about the AFL's logic.

    However, wait until we get to a prelim and Gawn gets suspended for jumping with his knee too high in the ruck and Oliver gets a week for staging when he ducks into a tackle like Selwood does.

    He was only doing a BLM knee in solidarity with George Floyd.   Lovely gesture. ?

    I thought 3 fines = 1 week. I actually believed that was the r e ason the tiges did not play Lynch last week.

    Surely the AFL wouldn’t make a knee jerk rule change based in one case ?

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
