Even more damning if Ah Chee misses a game through concussion protocols

At least 2 weeks, possibly 3 for Cripps

    Cripps decided to bump

    Jumped to leave ground 

    Direct contact with head

    Loss of consciousness

    Player subbed straight off

    = mandatory suspension if rules are followed!

    we will see …

    Did you all know Lincoln McCarthy couldn’t get on the park at Geelong, but virtually hasn’t missed a game with Brisbane?

    I know. I’ve never heard that EVERY [censored] WEEK ON CHANNEL 7.

    Fisher is a momentum killer.

    Misses important goals, and it goes coast to coast.

    Those commentators! 

    Cripps left the ground, bumbs from behind/side, hits the head, didn’t get near the ball, Che subbed out.

    Mathews says going for the ball all should be fine, the rest follow.

    Where is the 'duty of care.'

    At least 2 weeks.

     

    Haven’t seen it yet, but triple m commentators said “big trouble, definite weeks”

    Brisbane are even worse than we are for butchering goal scoring opportunities.

    Rioli got off for a similar incident in Round 1 but Rowell got up straight away and played the game out. And even decision that was controversial. I think Cripps will get 2 weeks.

    How could anyone be defending that… left the ground, chose to bump, hit him high, and the Brisbane player is subbed out with concussion, that’s a minimum of two weeks every day of the week.

    Gees Josh Kennedy has been a fantastic player. He just seems like a quality guy. Doesn’t think he’s saving the world, just wants to play footy.

    He should be so proud of his career.

    According to Leigh Mathews - “I suspect that’s incidental contact” LMAO 🤣

    Sad way to end his career. 😢

    Jonno Brown reckons its a football incident. If these old schoolers were in charge at the MRO no player would ever get suspended

    Oh I was talking about JK at The Eagles, but everything I said applies to JK at the Swannies.

    I think he was hoping to go on somewhere else next year, but this new injury might be the end of him sadly.

    Nah. They’d jump on a no name player to show how virtuous they were.

    Lethal obviously got no supercoach trades or bench left, and doesn’t want to field a donut if Cripps rubbed out.

    Shocking call. If he reached for the ball, I'd agree. Lined him up and took him out

    When Ugle Hagen missed that sitter in front I thought typical. Against us he kicked that goal from the boundary outside 50 that he pulled from his backside and couldn't miss anything that night.

    I knew he wouldn't do anything good after our game

    Same here.  He is 12.12 from 13 games aside from our game where he kicked 5.0

    wtf

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • 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.
