I like Cripps.  He's everything you'd want in a mid fielder.  He tackles, he doesn't fumble, he can take a decent over head mark and he can kick goals.  He played a great game last night and it's not his fault he was out there.  I'm pleased we beat them with him in the team.

    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?

    Yeah, this rule needs an overhaul.

    Perhaps we should just do away with it, and instead have a system where clubs are granted extra interchanges for losing players to injury (dependent on when in the game it occurs). Keeps the available players fresher, and can’t be tampered with so obviously.

    You can’t have fresh players available to come into a game late. It’s asking to be corrupted.

    Ah Chee is set to miss another week due to the concussion he received, but my main concern is that the Blues / Pies game is a sellout.

    AFL got what they wanted.

    Patrick Cripps getting off last week was the real sellout.

    Carlton collingwood at MCG  listed as a sellout on tiketek.  its only Tuesday ffs.

    presumably only MCC seats + standing room available.

    Is it because of the 12 day rule  Aug 7 to 19 or his concussion is serious. AFL is a joke. Cripps misses no games. All about ticket sales. Corruption.

    It really was, he could have refused to appeal and take his rightful whack...he could have done the right thing.

    ...but I'm also happy we beat them with him in.

    Yes Cordy, so they cleared him... So the chook raffle came up with a free pass again.

    You know something? You're dead right. He could have made a massive statement by respecting the decision and supporting the narrative that head high contact like that is not on.

    At the end of the day though finals was at stake, they were going to throw everything at it.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
