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.

    It looked like he may of been protecting himself but I think he may get a week.

    Not sure it was head ? More chest area

    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.

    I think Libba mostly gives his all.

    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.

    Kozzy will probably get a few weeks for that late hit. 

     

    Just like Uncle…


    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

    • 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.

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
