    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

    • 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.
