Glad he got let off as the game & the fans have gone softer than that other round ball football code these days. Always reward a player going for the ball & he jumped to go for the ball. Wish there was more of it & also wish they let a defender wrap a forward around the ears when going for a mark, earn your kicks.

The while concussion thing is garbage, you sign up to play a contact sport & there should be no legal case for compensation down the track.

You sign up no problems. The AFL still have that duty of care to the players. The AFL make the rules. Up until quite recently they’ve made rules which incentivize head high contact. Clearly they don’t care. Both my young lads played state under 16s footy and I pulled them out and give them the option to play other sports. Any parent who cares for the long term well being of their child would be silly to push them into football. I did and hoped it would change. Silly silly.

True, I pushed mine to Rugby League as Aussie Rules turned into a softer sport than my daughters netball. Part of life, can’t be scared that they may get a scratch, a bump or a cut in life. I mean jeez let’s just all breed fat kids that sit inside on an X-Box because we don’t want them in the big bad world.

Sorry to hear that mate, that's rough.

If it's blows to the head you want, why not sign them up to boxing, preferably bare knuckle. That'll toughen 'em up


That must hurt a little more for the fact he was on the ground to get the full effect of such devastation. Even i felt a little for them....... settle i said a little.

was he playing? didn't notice him

Really, he was their best player. 17 handballs to advantage, 26 possies and 12 tackles. Just about every forward thrust was started by him.

Without him we would have won more convincingly.

I was being facetious Red. He shouldn't have been allowed to play

Still, I hope he beats the pies next week

Agreed, would’ve liked him fresh to dominate the filth.

*******just realised he would’ve been out for 2 🤪

I’m still scratching my head to understand how he was exonerated because it’s inconsistent with the AFL’s protection of the head policies. However, now that this game is done and dusted, I’m hoping that he’ll play a role in Collingwood’s downfall next week.

But that means they play finals. Surely you want them out.

At this stage, all I want is us in the top four and a re-set for the finals.

Whether or not they make the finals is only important if you think we might play against the last placed finisher in the top eight. At this stage, that could be Carlton, Richmond or the Western Bulldogs.

What are horrible set to choose from. The only good part is one of them will miss.

Cripps was amazing tonight. 

Good, yes. Amazing, no. 9 kicks, a solid by un spectacular 6 score involvements, 187m gained, no score.

Apart from an excellent kick to Curnow early that caught May stuck in no man’s land Cripps’ influence was kept to the phone booth.

Nooo, we want the Blues to beat the Filth to ensure we have every chance of finishing 2nd.

NOW we do.  Cripps was unfairly booed last night. It's not his fault a QC got him off. The AFL is to blame here.

So we got through last night and now Cripps is free to play against the Pies. 

What a great outcome for us.

Go Dees

 

And another one with virtually no publicity - I believe Jack Martin was “medical subbed off” last week. I maybe wrong but I thought  that meant a weeks rest? He shouldn’t have been playing either?

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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 forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — 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 Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’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.
