On to a more positive note I am glad to see the filth more than 5 goals down at half time.

    Brisbane now on 130% with a half still to go. Makes things interesting for the Dogs next week. No pre-finals bye likely to come to their rescue this time if they drop to 5th.

    Just saw it. Going by how strict the afl are on this I would say 1 week for sure.

    Both arms pinned in the tackle and slams his head into the ground causing concussion. He was unable to protect himself as he fell and therefore Hawkins had duty of care not to cause head injury. Would be 2 weeks if named Neal-Bullen

    More likely be 2 weeks for Neal and another 2 weeks for Bullen.

    Player subbed out with probable concussion.

    Late tackle.

    We will see.

    FMD

    And so it continues from the AFL (umpires have become the fall-guy messengers at maximum carriage).

    They just discussed the Hawkins incident for a while in Fox. Tom Morris compared it to the Holman one from earlier in the year. 2 weeks reduced to zero at tribunal. J Lewis and Brad J all agreed not much in it. May get suspended but should be overturned at tribunal

    Against all precedents and justices, he'll get off - the recipient player shouldn't have been there to receive an injurious, late impact - Match Review guys will strongly declare it was his own fault. Case dismissed.

    Of course the Tribunal will overturn it. Opponent concussed - head no longer sacrosanct.

    I listened to that as well.

    They said it was similar, a perfect tackle except the outcome and the player tackling not knowing if the ball came free.

    For me, Hawkins looked worse because he pinged both arms of the opponent and drove him straight to the turf. Holman had one arm and attempted to turn the player.

    Think Hawkins might get one because of the injury and Danger clear.

    Can someone with a better understanding of the rules explain to me how this play by Hawkins isn't a free kick for taking his eyes off the ball in a marking contest?

    https://www.afl.com.au/video/664150/hawkins-helps-himself-to-a-crucial-major?videoId=664150&modal=true&type=video&publishFrom=1628930335001

    This is a genuine question. 

    Yeah I would've thought that's a free kick against Hawkins as he takes his eyes off the ball quite early in the contest whereas the Saints player takes his eyes off the ball at the last second, but Dunstall reckons that's why the umpire didn't pay the free against.

    As for Danger, I don't like the bloke and I almost certainly think he's a protected species, but agree there isn't anything in it. No case to answer, fine at most.

    I doubt it Mr Leg.  The AFL will want as many stars up and running as possible me thinks.  They've already taken too many hits in this pandemic.

    The 'Stand Rule' is the biggest [censored]-up in AFL laws history. Needs to be killed off after this season.

    Some like it, some love it, but I cannot see the sense as it so much (more even than usual) depends on umpires interpretation and diligence, and the penalty can be absurd.

    Anyone got the vision of Dangerfield incident?

    Hate to say it but looks innocent (that said, ANB would get 3-4)

    Any footage of the Hawkins one?

    Have to laugh at Chris Scott saying "we should know by now" regarding the pre-finals bye. Is he living in the same world as us right now? We barely know anything day by day let alone over one week from now!

    I met up with a cats friend of mine and asked whether the old bodies will hold up, he honestly couldn't give me real answer. I think he sees what everyone else sees, which is why he is so desperate to know his his veterans league is going to have the week off.

    Still one out of three results going our way is pretty good I have to say.

    Now to put the Crows in a spliff and have no injuries…

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
