    Can someone please explain to leave it to deever that he can press the mute button and that he is not being forced to listen to the commentators.

    Toby should be safe.

    Commentators so keen to condemn him they failed to notice that Danger started to squat to tackle but his left leg slides out from under him.  Had he not slid the elbow/arm would have got Danger in the chest.  

    Also Fritsch got off on something similar (the forearm).  The Tribunal set a precedent in the recent Buddy case of accepting similar incidents as evidence so they will have to accept the Fritsch decision.

    I think Careys correct in saying that now Danger has gone to hospital tg is gone.

    I felt that for the action Fritta was very lucky, but given recent results with the tribunal he should be fine. A lot more split second than Buddy who shifted the ball to the other arm in order to elbow the tackler. 

    Consistency says that he shouldn’t get suspended.

    Generally speaking, perhaps.  Please be gentle with me on this.

    In play + reasonable to try fend off + Danger slipped =  No case to answer.

    As comparison:  Hawkins had no case to answer with his (well disguised) elbow to the head of May.  I can't remember the rating but probably, careless, high (head), high impact as May was hospitalised and missed a week.  Toby assessment should be the same.

     

    Go Giants!!

    So surely that says he will.

    PS Selwood just chose to bump Taylor head high - but I guess the Selwood rule will apply and he will be fine (or at worst fined).

    As I recall Hawkins wasn't even cited - the media didn't go all over it so Christian didn't even have to have a look.

    Can someone work out if Geeling lose tonight what does that mean in terms of how many wins we need to secure top 4?

    Man, BT’s not even attempting to hide his disappointment when the Giants goal.

    Maggots doing their best - Guthrie clearly rode him in the back - "free kick Geelong".

    Don't even think of it - win the bloody lot.

    For a much lauded defence, Geelong have conceded a lot of goals out the back tonight.

    The same amount as before the game started. It affects the chances of making top 2.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
