Hardly ever ends in a good result with heads connecting with elbows. 

Had no time to avoid so the benefit of doubt might look after him.

    If they use the Hawkins criteria he will be safe: if the MFC one then gone.

    I don't think so. Fine at most.

    He was defending off a tackle, the north bloke came in low.

    I'm curious what Zieball did to Fritsch in the first off the ball. Does anyone know what happened there?

    Yeah we never saw a replay of what happened.

    The fact there was no concussion helps. Fine at best I hope

    He must play no concussion that's what saves him.

    One week. Not good.

    I think he’ll get 1-2 weeks, as much as I hope he gets a fine. Elbows to heads aren’t looked highly upon.

    If it was the oppo doing it to us we’d be screaming for a suspension.

    It did happen to us with May and Hawkins and most of us realised that accidents happen.

    Fritsch had half a step to avoid being crunched and out an elbow out to protect himself. Not his fault the North player ran in to it.

    Was it intentional?

    that will be the crux between a fine or Suspension

    I dunno, it didn’t look good. The guy didn’t come back on did he? 
    I mean Hawkins smashed May’s face and it was accidental. They may say it’s accidental but the elbow was a little raised and he does play for Melbourne. 
    Good record so I would say he misses a week.

    Honestly got no idea, wasn't necessary but didnt believe it was intentional at the time of seeing it. Would have to see it back. Tackle was low, anyone's guess what happens.

    If Fritta gets a week or two then the afl is corrupt. There was nothing deliberate in it and no concussion.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
