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.

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.

Severe impact. Straight to the tribunal to attempt to downgrade the 3 Match suspension. 

Will miss Dees game with the 3 weeks but if successful and is downgraded from severe to high then he’ll miss 2 weeks and be free to play against the Demons. 

Guess what will happen?

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.

Suns to knock off West Coast in Perth... what a delicious dessert that would be to top off the round.

They did it last year.

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.

They do not look dangerous going into forward 50 at all. Our forward connection is A-grade in comparison.

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

They’ll crack down on it in a few weeks especially if a no name Dees player does it.

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
