Incidental contact 
 WHAT BS

He has eyes on the ball 
WHAT BS 

Trying to punch the ball 
 WHAT BS

Cripps decided to bump

Jumped to leave ground 

Direct contact with head

Loss of consciousness

Player subbed straight off

THATS 3-4 WEEKS, Probably two with guilty plea

    The Lions have played well and will be tough to beat in a fortnight.  They play their home ground well

    Carlton are ordinary and if we lost to them next week (with or without Cripps) that would be a huge disappointment

    12.10 to 3.6 is damning

    Carlton looked to have got their loading wrong (sorry, just saw my opportunity to turn this thread into every other thread and took it).

    = mandatory suspension if rules are followed!

    we will see 


    Another problem is he made no attempt to touch the ball, just braced for the bump and got him.

    It would be nice if Carlton play like this next week. 

    If we can't beat this mob off a travelling 6 day break vs  us 8 day. Stick a fork in us

    If Saints win the night before against Brisbane... Carlton will be fighting to stay in the 8

    Should be a good win for us but.................

    Carlton will be without Cripps, travelling back from interstate, 2 days less rest. Also missing Kennedy, Hewitt, Newman etc

    if we don't hammer them we don't deserve finals, let alone top 4

    Carlton getting murdered at the centre bounce. Another reason to be optimistic next week

    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.

    Seems it’s a hammy that will likely end his season and possibly his career. 

    But the WCE JK is easily my favourite non-MFC player. No fuss. So humble and unassuming. Just gets on with the job. He’ll be sorely missed.

    Carlton can be hot or cold, from one week to the next

    They can play fast, down the corridor style and have the balance to kick goals and defend.

    The fast, take us on footy has been our Achilles heal this year.

    We thought we could control the Pie when they came at us.

    We need to be ready for their best.

    Against Brisbane, they can't get their hands on it.

    Lions percentage 126.6 at 3/4 time. 2.3% behind us. Can Blues.

    Cripps won't be rubbed out. There is one main reason. They play us and the filth in the next 2 weeks and would have to win one of them. Tigers should win both of their games and the dogs should as well which would place Carlton out of the eight. Saints probably won't win another game for year. The AFL want Carlton in the 8 so will make sure their most important player does not get rubbed out. It may not make a difference anyway but they want Carlton to have as much probability of making the 8 as they can.

    Still a 54 point gap between Us and The Lions so we should stay third for at least one more week.

    Make that 61 points.

    I'd call you a conspiracy nutter but that would also make me a conspiracy nutter. I genuinely think the AFL would be keen to give both teams a leg up.

    This is good, first it keeps Brisbane at bay and second takes a little of the heat out of the hiding Carlton will get in the press this week.

    Why aren't the Bears players allowed to own a dog?

     

    Because they can't hold a lead...

     

    I'll see myself out

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
