Just a 35-minute submission for AFL counsel Nicholas Pane.

Not a lot to report.ย Pane said a player could contest with his eyes on the ball and still be in the "action of bumping an opponent", which of course was what Townshend disputed.

He said Cripps not being questioned whether it was a bump or not was irrelevant. He said based on the evidence given it was a matter for the Tribunal to determine whether the actions could be constituted as a bump.

We're just realists, Chooky.


Absolute farce if he gets off. You canโ€™t be knocking out blokes who then miss weeks and walk away scot free.

Maybe tl_nl (too long _ not listening)

Can you imagine one of the Tribunal members putting up his hand (like a stop sign) and saying that?ย 

10 or 15 minutes you could understand but an hour would put some of our pollies to shame

I imagine that the protagonists are sitting amicably together sipping single malt and smoking cigars laughing at the peasants outside who are waiting with baited breath for their pronouncements.

I thought it was Too Long Demonlandย 

For heavens sake just let Cripps play . Carltonย  is done. Who cares?ย  ย What has all this 'lawyer -ing and legal interpretation got to do with anything. This sports elite garbage happened several weeks ago with Buddy and the swans still beat us.

Let Cripps play. We'll lick em in the morrow!


The door has been opened. Apparently the Tribunal said he was contesting the ball but should have been more careful. They didnโ€™t say he bumped.

I smell a rat. Why wouldnโ€™t they have simply found he bumped?

Is this a set up to get him off at the last stop, so it looks like they fought hard to suspend him.

We will see.

If he gets off this then thereโ€™s no point in the rules re head high contact and no point in the tribunal.ย

This. Win win for the AFL. One of the Brownlow โ€œfavouriteโ€ gets off but the AFL donโ€™t look week on head knocks because they tried.ย 

What an absolute sham of an "organisation" the AFL has become. ย  Gillon can't move on soon enough.

"The head is sacrosanct" except when it isn't. ย Chandler must be feeling totally flabbergasted and abandoned having made the perfect tackle and getting two weeks without even an appeal.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
