Only in AFL with AFL commentators could a player not get a free for either the initial tackle or the pile on just because he had said something 'insulting' during the week.  What a circus.

Cannot understand why there is not a bigger outcry over this incident.

Blatant animal thuggery by a bunch of sooky under instruction cowards.

    With the narrative the media have it is no surprise. It's more entertainment than sport these days. They don't want us winning 2 straight and there's not many Dees supporters in the media.

    Imagine if Langdon got concussion. He hit his head the ground quite hard and was lucky he was not hurt. The media like to [censored] the horse from both ends. They would have screamed outrage at the targeted irresponsible tackle and the brutality of it all as well as the lax umpiring and inaction to prevent these kind of incidents from the AFL.

    I can imagine how Langdon's family felt about him having an "attempted burial" during a game. It was a disgrace and a terrible look for a potential team of thugs.

    See my new rule of the week thread. He had at least 3 frees in that incident without one being paid. I thought it was disgusting.

    The commentators are now confirmed garbage as their comments were not about any free missed but that the violence showed the Pies had come to play.

    What about the pile drive of his head into the ground by Maynard? MRO will be a nothing to see hear from ex Pie Christian.

    Did you notice Pendles come in late, as Langdon was lying on the ground with 2 fists resting/pushing into his face, with a forearm to the jaw? Yes the clean Pies Captain, who then whinges to the umpires for the whole game, like he does every week.

    They will be letting this go at their own peril.

    I mean this rag tag club has got form for discrimination and all sorts of other baggage, and from what I hear two of the perpetrators were people that were very interested in dropping away from there for big financial gain.WTF

    Multiple combinations but I suppose we are hoping for Carlton to beat Brisbane but not by  so much that they get say a 5 point percentage boost.

    Life would be so much easier had we beaten the Dogs and the Pies

    Swans looking good to move into top 4

    Only early but right at the moment fails would be Coll Vs Melb  and Cats Vs Swans.  Now I would not want to play the Swans at the MCG first up.

    North will probably fade away late and let the Swans get us on percent

    Need 46 points at the moment to catch us. Still would be equal on points so even if both teams won their last two game would come down to who won be the most.  There are so many ways this can work out even with only two game to go. Swan might beat the Pies and end up 3rd, we play them at the G or beat the Pies by 24 points and end up 2nd we play the in Sydney. Of course we win one and play the Cats at the G or miss the top 4 all together. Some one get me a headache tablet, make it two.

    I feel like Brisbane are the anti-Demons. They feel like they could explode, go bang and kick 25 goals, but they also feel like they don’t have any team defensive structure.

    We're going to be 5th by the end of today.

    North are a rubbish team ... I'd say they are doing their best

    But their best is not good!

    Doubt it very much unless the Blues hit Treasury Casino a little early.

    The AFL draw definitely shaped the look of the eight this year. Geelong and Swans  got Norf twice + % boost. Geelong also got two bites at the eagles . 

    Geelong are laughing at the moment. Too easy for them. Everyone in the 8 has to fight for their lives except Geelong. 

    Hope they go out in straight sets.  Too many soft  H & AW games.

    I am dead set ready to throw my Foxtel box out the window. Stupid box takes forever to work & when it does come on it just randomly changes channels and is running to its own brain

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
