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: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • 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.

      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.
