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: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
