They must have a thread at the AFL titled 'Is Cripps the right guy for the Brownlow?'

    Crafting their wording as to why he gets off - threading the eye of the needle! Brace for a baffling outcome (based on a technicality).

    So I’m guessing knocking players into next week is back in fashion if he gets off.

    Really hoping Cripps doesn’t replicate his  4 goal 30 possession game against us in the pre season, if he’s available.

    Well it would certainly be hilarious if Petracca ran through Cripps in a replica of the same incident in the opening minute of the game and got off next Thursday for the Brisbane match

    This is an absolute farce. Whether he gets off or not I hope it spurs our lads not just to beat them, but to absolutely crush them

    Only problem is he most likely wouldn’t get off and would be given 3 weeks!

    Only one winner in all this and its AFL.com.au racking up the hits and milking this for all its worth, they are probably drinking shots and letting it ride out @ HQ.

    Appeals Board is ex an Supreme Court Judge and 2 former players who are lawyers.

    It is now hard to read,  taking so long.

    Is it to be we considered the submissions long and hard, but the appeal fails, or while we understand the reason for the AFL rule to protect heads, we have on a technicality, found this concussion was caused by a legal contest, not a bump?

    It could actually be that the “error in law” has been proven, but the AFL has a directive of definite weeks when concussion / subbed off involved

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
