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 …

No weeks for Cripps = fix is in

 

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.

Indeed WCW indeed!

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

Bambi Daniher is useless,!

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

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
