This is taking even longer than a goal review after the ball has clearly hit the post or been touched behind the line.

    The door has been opened. Apparently the Tribunal said he was contesting the ball but should have been more careful. They didn’t say he bumped.

    I smell a rat. Why wouldn’t they have simply found he bumped?

    Is this a set up to get him off at the last stop, so it looks like they fought hard to suspend him.

    We will see.

    That rat is getting more smelly.

    We know a fish rots from the head, but it seems that a rat does too.

    What a farce! Don't really care either way but gotta be a big distraction for their club and ultimately the team this whole episode. Can't wait to Smash the pretenders

    A pity this hearing wasn’t on a plane. Cripps would be a certainty to be out with DVT being up in the air for so long

    Just to top things off, Carlton is to get a draft compo pick for a 30 year old retiring rather than be vaccinated under the AFL guidelines.

    Give us a break.

    The longer the deliberations the greater the chance of overturn the result

    Probably at least twice that chook.

    I better start saving for my upcoming vagrancy and public nuisance charges.

    Just wait until the AFL announces an end of first round pick as compo

    Organise a couple of false identities and receive some dud pension or dole money chook.

    It's what the AFL would recommend.

    Ffs, must be looking for an angle to let him off

    This whole process is taking far longer than both the bloody matches he’s missing. What a waste of time and money!

    And would they waste this much time on a no name player in the interest of justice.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
