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

[david_neitz_is_my_dad 4,083]

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

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.

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.

[The heart beats true 18,095]

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. 

[praha 11,227]

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.

[Delusional demon 82 1,197]

It’s always handy when you get to play norf twice in one season 

[PerthDee 105]

Go Kangas !👹

[Mr Steve 3,820]

Still Ten points in it guys.

[Mr Steve 3,820]

And that makes it 20 points adrift. Go Roos. 

[PerthDee 105]

Hope our boys are watching how to take Carlton apart … we need to dominate them next week👍💙❤️

[deebunked 285]

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
