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.

    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

    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.

    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: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
