I can live with Cripps action not being worthy of suspension. I can’t accept there being a different set of rules for star players than the rest of the competition.

    I hope Chandler is furious with us for not supporting him.

    Precedent has now been set - bumps to the head that result in concussion are now legal.

    Could be some absolute lunacy ahead!

    Not reasonable, not caring for protection of the head, but also not in the least unexpected.

    Apparently there is no mention in the Magna Carta about choosing to bump!

    There can no longer be any doubt The AFL is a corrupt organisation.

    They should offer workshops to The Bandidos, Comancheros  et el to improve their corporate performance.

    [censored] me ! Why stop there, go international - I'm sure the generals in Myanmar could learn a thing or two from the experts!

     

    This is now beyond a joke. The AFL is  a powerful  billion dollar organisation. Surely there need to be some sort of judicial enquiry into their governance.

    We don’t really have much luck. Cripps should be out. Elliot shouldn’t have been given frees in front of goals against Collingwood. Eugle Hagen plays his only decent game of his AFL career and luck would have it - it’s against us. I’ve about had it.

    “The finding was unreasonable and did not comply with the requirements of procedural fairness,” said the appeals board chairman Murray Kellman.

    What the hell does that mean?

    He was always getting off. Look at the fact that Carlton were given extra time to get the appeal in. Then over 5 hours hearing. They waited until most were asleep to sneak the decision. It’s as corrupt as it gets.

    I think you are missing the point.

    I am sure they have found he contested, not bumped.

    Paddy Ryder who stood still and had a player run into him and get whiplash, copped two weeks.

    He should sue.

    And this is why, if Melbourne folded tomorrow, I would never watch another game of football ever again.

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
