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.

    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: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
