Libba has entered concussion protocol. So if cited Brayshaw will miss the next few. 
Just going to depend on wether they think his “bump” connects. 
I must admit I’ve not seen a close up of the vision.

Freo will cite the incident as in play...but it was a bump and it could have been avoided.

I'm surprised the Dogs took so long to react. Libba doesn't stay down and it was obvious he was dazed.

    The delicious irony of Freo being up last year and then down this year is that there’s a really great recent example of this happening to another club and resulting in a huge positive, and it’s the absolute last story they want to tell.

    Live, it looked really crude. He got sandwich and it was hard to see the head knock. Went down and incredibly no free.

    He was dazed when he got up but was still asking about the free.

    Assuming that was the incident, he stayed on for at least a few minutes longer. 

    Head is sacrosanct and so If there is any consistency in the tribunal it’s a minimum 3 weeks. He looked to bump/brace last minute and Libba is now under protocols, which means 3 weeks given the 2 week non concussion bump precedents set earlier on in the season.

    OK, I think I've spotted the flaw in your reasoning.

    Not sure Freo's draft haul from finishing low on the ladder this year will quite match what the Demons accomplished after 2019.

    Guaranteed he's going to get boo'd...

    It's all part of the theatre and you'll get nuffy supporters at every club who'll go out of their way to boo.

    Jesse Hogan gave us much better service then Jacko and there were boos when he stepped foot on the MCG in 2019.

    I boo bit totally in jest. It’s funny. I wouldn’t boo Horne Francis because that’s not funny but Jackson, I’ll boo him with tongue in cheek

    Still really glad about Fremantle's loss last night.

    Now imagine the Round 24: Hawthorn vs Fremantle MCG as the Spoonbowl, with an after the siren shot on goal by Lloyd Meek to give us Pick 1. We should all get together in our colours and flags and cheer the Hawks on for victory :laugh: 🤮

    Having an ex teammate sink them after the siren would make up for Farmer in 2002!

    I’ll never boo a player as I am a grown adult, not an 8 year old. 
     

    On Jacko, you can’t help but think the pressure to Perform will be stunting his development. I reckon he’d be flying with us this year.

    Freo are a basket case.

    6.40 onwards:


    Lobb said in February that the coaching staff at Freo were pointing him in the wrong direction (not great to say publicly), but given the above clip and the fact they were only 18 points down when that happened, that they are desperate for a win, I’d love to know what the coaching staff told the players in the lead up, as they were clearly fixated on Lobb.

    Adelaide beating Hawthorn a plus I think (because Hawthorn were going to finish below Fremantle regardless). Having said that, Adelaide were probably going to finish above Fremantle regardless so maybe the result is unimportant...

    Agree or disagree?

    Adelaide will make the eight. The expansion sides will determine whether we get ND4, ND5, or ND6. WCE, Haw, NM are not going to be anywhere other than bottom 3 and Tigers won’t stay below Freo. Pretty good place to be. Chance for ND4 I reckon. GC will win games at home and Darwin and GWS will pull off upsets when their stars shine.

    I couldn't be happier that those 6 Dockers players made the idiotic decision to rough Lobb up when the ball was in play. Embarrassment central.

    I think that booking is ok when it is part of the theatre, the pantomime, of the game.

    It can add to the atmosphere.

    Traditionally it's been the "villains". The players who gave it back to the crowd as well, and seemed to thrive off the interaction. In that situation it is two way and is good for the game.

    Players defecting to other clubs, particularly rival clubs, become pseudo villains for that match. A good boo from the crowd early in the game is balanced by it waning as the match goes on, plus the friendship between ex-teammates after the match. Again in this situation it is largely two way.

     

    Recently booking seems to have become a bit more mob/pack driven. The booking of Goodes clearly got out of hand, it clearly wasn't two way. The Horne-Frqncis situation is frankly bizarre: being booked by clubs not involved makes no sense. And booing players who were cut/delisted/traded out (such as a Mitch Hannan or Weid) makes no sense either.

     

    I'm not sure at what point the crowd lost understand of its role in the pantomime, but it is disappointing.

    Agree with most of your post here Deanox and particularly this last bit.

    During the Dogs game first round this year, their supporters started booing Lauchie Hunter - to which I yelled back "You didn't want him you idiots" .  On cue, nuffy MFC supporters boo Sauce Baker when he got a possession soon after 🤦‍♂️.

    I personally think players that leave for big money or to play at a more immediately successful club such as Tom $cully, Jerremy Howe, James Frawley etc deserve to be booed by supporters of their former clubs.  There's an old notion of disloyalty, greed, selfishness about that, which shouldn't go unrewarded and unrecognised.  However personally I'm a bit more neutral towards players that have given good service and/or just genuinely want to return to their home state like Jeff Farmer, Jessie Hogan, Scott Thomson and Jacko.

    • 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

      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.
