Papley available as Friday is 12 days...

Are you allowed to play on the final day of the 12 days?


Should clearly mean that the Bris/Rich v Mel/Syd semi final is the Friday night of week 2. Should also mean the Mel/Syd prelim is the Saturday of week 3.

    This is the official rule:

    And as a reward for finishing first, Geelong get to play away to the fourth placed Collingwood.

    35 years ago was the last time we played the Swans in a final, some great childhood memories:

    Scott is crying about it as we speak.

    I think the rule is 12 days from the day  the concussion occurred.

    The 12-day rule is actually an 11-day rule - you're allowed to play on the 12th day. You don't have to wait 12 days.

    The 12th day after today is next Friday.

    We were never playing thurs because papley wouldn’t have been available.  Just some cynicism, I’d rather Friday anyhow

    So whoever loses on Friday night (Swans) gets 1 day less recovery than the winner of Thursday (Tigers)

    And even if they win, and Richmond win their next two, they'll play away again in the Prelim.

    If he passes every element of the protocol and has no symptoms or set backs. Sydney have some good strong doctors and don’t strike me as the kind of club to risk serious concussion long term effects. There’s still a chance he misses.

    Such good doctors that they got fined for breaching Covid protocols. Zero chance he doesn’t get up.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • 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.
