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

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
