Stewart straight to tribunal

Yep, and will be lucky to get away with 4 weeks for that one... should be 6 at least.

...but the AFL don't control the tribunal so it's anyones guess.

Sniping at its worst

Their percentage would have dropped slightly.  I'm tempted to say "by a whisker".  :D

Despite a short paws in performance, they clawed their way to a win


The umpires should also be reprimanded for the Stewart incident, that they allowed play to continue (and a subsequent goal) is an out and out disgrace.

 

Where is the duty of care?

 

They should also be suspended 

Exciting game that one. Lots of pressure, felt finals like and a tight finish. Great viewing as a neutral.

Stewart should get a minimum of three weeks suspension for the bump to Prestia. Chandler got two weeks for an unlucky run down tackle as part of play that knocked a bloke out. Stewart chose to run past the ball and intentionally bump someone in the head, knocking him out. If he gets two weeks or less I’ll be disgusted. I should be used to the inconsistency and injustice, but it still [censored] me to tears.

I've already got a couple of sad and empty bottles in front of me , so I doubt ill see this game out.

I wonder how @Sir Why You Little is going at his "respectable saloon" in Bangkok?

Didn't I read somewhere you were going there to meet up with him? Hope you both behave, Bitter but optimistic

Now now Stiffy..... don't be thinking about matters that might get you over excited.


In those blunt cases the AFL offical and fourth umpire should send a message to the officiating umpire and they should be sent off. No medi sub allowed either. But the way the umps game the cats everything I’m surprised they didn’t disallow Soldo coming on and instead allow the cats to have 5 on the bench.

West Coast looked A LOT better against Geelong, I’m not saying their going to be winning on the regular but like a large portion of bottom teams they aren’t as they seem. They’ve had COVID rip through their club (poor management and attitudes perhaps) as well as a number of injuries to compound it. They have a lot of premiership players in their team, so when things get going they are capable of playing decent footy. Love seeing the bombers lose!

For sure and a lot of those premiership players came to the fore last night. Well deserved win. Good to see Essendon have the performance of a lifetime last week and then bottle it this week. 

JEELONG VERY LUCKY

Umps on their side, but Richtank gave up a handy lead halfway through last quarter 

Saints ... very ordinary side.

Steel ... shot for goal  ...  kicked out on the full. He's not a A grader.

Recruits ... Jones & Crouch. Very average players.

And too many players who aren't physically big enough.

On the showing so far, saints will be lucky to get within 10 goals.

Blind Freddie could see that he was concussed ... as you say, where is he duty of care?

Conversely, on Thursday night they held up play when the Brisbane guy who took on Frittata front on and injured his chest (Lyon?)  walked from the field.

Why the difference?  AFL please explain.

The agenda deems outcome > actions, Prestia jogged off the ground........................................

And then failed a concussion test, missed the rest of the game and will also miss the next one.

Half time at SCG and as usual I am watching constipated footy being played. That ground is not suited to AFL footy.

If Sydney get up tonight the finals are almost beyond the horizon for St.K and Richmond. Will need to go 5-3 in their remaining games and have a decent % just to fall into the eight and play an away knock out game. Happy days!

Cats with double the free kicks. Still ****house

Just checked the stats as I thought watching it that umps weren't very friendly to Richmond 

26 to 13 is embarrassing for the umpires, they failed to pay soooo many frees to Richmond in 2nd half

I’ve seen cow paddocks in better condition than the SCG.

  • 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.
