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: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
