Depends how you look at at it, hardtack.  Given that it is apparent they won't be playing after August, I would hope that their season will be somewhat shorter than our own.

Not quite how I meant it (figuratively), but yes, I know what you mean.

    Brilliant stoppage goal from Tom Green. Serious composure for a second year player.

    How will the tribunal phrase Dangerfield's hit so he gets minimum/no weeks?

    I find him insufferable but he would hate losing to the Crows.  In the play immediately before the hit, he was well chased down which got him angry and he then buried his frustrations in a deliberate bump as Adelaide ran the ball back.  There was malice.  He should get a week  but expect the marquee player free to play ticket will be handed at.  And Paddy can then tell us all about his happy place and how you can live a simple life on $750k a year.

    The amount of times Darcy mentions Toby Green even when he has [censored] all to do with the play borders on fanboying.

    Hoping for an old fashioned wet weather slog for the Saints today.

    Interesting game coming up here between our next two opponents.

    At half time, it would seem both those teams are actually hoping for a massive downpour to cover their inadequacy.

    Most of the players seem less interested in that game than Pickett2Jackson is!

    'Stalemate', says the commentator... or did he just say 'Stale, mate.'

    We have to go into the next couple of rounds looking for kills.

    If Danger got 3 be good result for us....I am not a Danger fan but I am no sure.....

    Looks like he lined him up in slow motion but in normal speed he was charging at him to tackle. Kelly handballs then Danger can’t really avoid contact so he braces/bumps. Big hit. Poor Kelly. 

    His Vlastin GF hit looked bad in slow mo also but nothing happened there 

    Will be interesting

    I don’t think intent is a factor when grading. The Adelaide player was out cold before he hit the ground. I think it will be graded severe so he’ll get 3 games.

    Watching GWS v Saints. Leon Cameron is a genius. Takes a fair bit of skill to take a Maserati and convert it into a Lada. Even Neeld would have struggled with that.

    Joe Daniher only fined for his elbow to the head like Richmond’s Astbury. 

    So you can throw the Elbow back now with intent and be free to play, although the head is sacrosanct 

    AFL Logic at work

    Hard to understand the MRO rules. Looking at the incident as a footy collision, shoulder on shoulder you would think no suspension. 

    but I believe you are suspended based on the outcome in the case of accidental head clash. Therefore he could get anything. I expect 3-4 weeks from the tribunal.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
