Should we expect Kozzy to be suspended for that head bump?

I can’t imagine after the week of lawsuits happening that the AFL hasn’t had a word to the MRP to be harsher on hits like this. 

I’d be shocked if he didn’t get a week.

    3 goals in front and couldn't have played worse up to the 20 minute mark of the quarter. Hopefully 2nd half is better.

    Also huge respect to Brodie Grundy.

    Ran in with such intense to stick up for Kozzie in that scuffle.

    All while English was getting ragdolled by Spargo and Bowey 😂

    In super slow mo it hits his chest and then the rest hits head area and he gets straight up, I would normally say he prov gets one, but no concussion, played game out, initial contact is to the chest… 4 weeks.

    Loving our attacking style of footy when we get that run going we look super dangerous like 2021 again

    Yep. If he flattened out Smith it would be worse. in a week that ex players are putting a case together & with the AFL trying to cut out the head high contact he'll get something 

    He'll get weeks unfortunately.  

    Can't be doing that in time where concussion is a very sensitive and serious concerning matter.

    Great to see our women’s team doing a lap of honour. And getting a good reception

    yep surprised if only a fine but hope so

    A couple of observations from the couch:

    We look much better when Max holds his marks.  (#Captain Obvious)

    Grundy needs to vary his tapouts in the centre rather than directing it behind him (ie towards the Dogs' goals) every time which the opposition are pouncing on.

    Pickett might not get suspended.  It was shoulder to shoulder I think and Smith bouncing straight back up will be in Kozzy's favour.  Having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if the Tribunal gave him life without parole.

    It's a typical Demons v Dogs game with momentum swings.  Be nice to bury them in the 3rd quarter.

    sadly I think I agree. didn’t make head contact though so might get lucky. it’s a bad look , it’s early in the season so he might get made an example of.

    Ha ha I understand what you mean. But we need him on the park and Byron was a star but people forget how good a player he was.

    Everything was a dumpster fire until they put those two and Gawn in the middle and then we started to work. We just can’t do without them. They are the most talented duo in the AFL. Their chemistry is outstanding. 

    Yeah it was, but Viney allows them to play attacking football knowing thedefensive side is covered.

    They're talking a week on TV for kozzie.

     

    I think there's a massive argument that his intention was to hit the shoulder and he got 95% there- a free kick downfield for a late hit seems an appropriate penalty

    I don't think Daisy was there in the lap the girl's did. She was the captain & that could have been her final farewell. Bit disappointed 

    I hope it had nothing to do with geelong.

    He will be a big out. Stupid act. Brain fade.

    I know that was a great comeback but I don't think we are even playing that well yet.

    Four to five impacting the game as yet. 

    Defence doing well without May.

    Expecting an even bigger third.

    Go DEES

    • PREVIEW: Brisbane

      And just like that, we’re Narrm again. Even though the annual AFL Sir Doug Nicholls Round which commemorates the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture to our game has been a welcome addition to our calendar for ten years, more lately it has been a portent of tough times ahead for we beleaguered Narrm supporters. Ever since the club broke through for its historic 2021 premiership, this has become a troubling time of the year for the club. For example, it all began when Melbourne rebranded itself as Narrm across the two rounds of the Sir Doug Nicholls Round to become the first club to adopt an Indigenous club name especially for the occasion. It won its first outing under the brand against lowly North Melbourne to go to 10 wins and no losses but not without a struggle or a major injury to  star winger Ed Langdon who broke his ribs and missed several weeks. In the following week, still as Narrm, the team’s 17 game winning streak came to an end at the hands of the Dockers. That came along with more injuries, a plague that remained with them for the remainder of the season until, beset by injuries, the Dees were eliminated from the finals in straight sets. It was even worse last year, when Narrm inexplicably lowered its colours in Perth to the Waalit Marawar Eagles. Oh, the shame of it all! At least this year, if there is a corner to turn around, it has to be in the direction of something better. To that end, I produced a special pre-game chant in the local Narrm language - “nam mi:wi winnamun katjil prolin ambi ngamar thamelin amb” which roughly translated is “every heart beats true for the red and the blue.” >y belief is that if all of the Narrm faithful recite it long enough, then it might prove to be the only way to beat the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba on Sunday. The Lions are coming off a disappointing draw at Marvel Stadium against a North Melbourne team that lacks the ability and know how to win games (except when playing Melbourne). Brisbane are, however, a different kettle of fish at home and have very few positional weaknesses. They are a midfield powerhouse, strong in defence and have plenty of forward options, particularly their small and medium sized players, to kick a winning score this week after the sting of last week’s below par performance.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
