This is taking even longer than a goal review after the ball has clearly hit the post or been touched behind the line.

    The door has been opened. Apparently the Tribunal said he was contesting the ball but should have been more careful. They didn’t say he bumped.

    I smell a rat. Why wouldn’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.

    That rat is getting more smelly.

    We know a fish rots from the head, but it seems that a rat does too.

    What a farce! Don't really care either way but gotta be a big distraction for their club and ultimately the team this whole episode. Can't wait to Smash the pretenders

    A pity this hearing wasn’t on a plane. Cripps would be a certainty to be out with DVT being up in the air for so long

    Just to top things off, Carlton is to get a draft compo pick for a 30 year old retiring rather than be vaccinated under the AFL guidelines.

    Give us a break.

    The longer the deliberations the greater the chance of overturn the result

    I better start saving for my upcoming vagrancy and public nuisance charges.

    Just wait until the AFL announces an end of first round pick as compo

    Organise a couple of false identities and receive some dud pension or dole money chook.

    It's what the AFL would recommend.

    Ffs, must be looking for an angle to let him off

    This whole process is taking far longer than both the bloody matches he’s missing. What a waste of time and money!

    And would they waste this much time on a no name player in the interest of justice.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
