At least West Coast fought hard and were tackling and working to move the footy right to the end. Hawthorn just stopped playing. Sam Mitchell has NFI. 

 

In other news, no Nenkurvis for Richmond either in two weeks time. 

There were literally moments of walking from Hawthorn. I'd be more entertained at a Coffee Club walkathon.

Highest scoring quarter of any team so far this year. And it hadda be Jeremy Cameron Geelong. 😑

And how is Cameron's dicky hamstring going?  Will it last a full year?  When / if it twangs bye bye Geelong.

Taylor constantly suggesting that the Hawks have some chance. The game was over 10 minutes ago. What a moron.

He is just following he script from Channel 7's narrative to pump the game up right until the bleeding obvious. Remember Coll v Bris. The Pies 40 odd points down with 40 seconds left and he asks Daisy do they still have a chance. MORON.

Mackay got graded medium impact for that, and gets a week?

what is happening to our game?

Well tbh when I saw it, I thought a week. A giant runs in and uses his forearm to strike a smaller player on the side of the face, after he has got rid of the ball. Could have been a broken cheekbone, or even a concussion, when he didn’t need to touch him. Could have pushed him, or grabbed him, or actually not touched him. No need for an unexpected forearm to the face/head.

Thats not footy.

Agreed. Totally unnecessary and potentially very harmful. A week is perhaps even a little light, given what else we have seen this season so far.

agree no need for it. 

but the impact was low and not worthy of a week imo.

But Kossie got 2 for the potential to cause injury. Same approach I suppose

Never had his eyes on the ball. Plenty of time to size up the situation. Chose to hit high with both forearms.

1-week seems more than reasonable.

agree with all that

what do you think about impact though?  if low it’s not a week

Amidst all the excitement of last night, Stewie Dew quietly stinks it up again. You've got to admire how he goes about it. The supporter must surely be frustrated by now.

Wasn't sure if the singular supporter was intentional, but gees it cracked me up.

This Hawthorn team is worse than any Melbourne team under Neeld or Bailey. They have zero stars. The blokes they brought it, like Frost, Impey and Wingard are all C graders. They may have some young talent, but in my opinion they are headed the same route as the Dees circa 2009-2014. They are really really bad. Funny to hear Hodge still backing his mate Mitchell, but I reckon he will be gone in two years. 

Maybe Clarko will have had enough at North Melbourne by then and they'll ask him to come back.


If you were coaching Geelong who would you clear for some nice early draft picks to Hawthorn, seeing as they probably discussed that after the game, because there wouldn't have been much else to talk about.

depends whether they upgrade it for potential harm

that puts us into the realm of afl mysticism and lets face it the afl want the brownbaggers in the finals

true.

the mro always takes the lease controversial decision and leaves it to the appeals or tribunal to be hated. 

it’s set up for him to get off imo

Fair question. Given his size and momentum I'd rate it as medium.

Personally I would agree with that, but under the current rules “potential to cause injury “lifts the grading and that is it.

fair enough 

the way i see the potential rule (trying to apply logic) is there must be sufficient speed or impact involved that there is potential for a worse outcome. like the kozzi incident. i don’t see that in the mackay incident

Yeah. Interesting to compare approaches. Van Roo had to develop at Casey for 12 months before debuting. Mac is being asked to play as a lockdown defender on the opposition's most dangerous small in his fifth game!

How on earth does McKay get off on that late hit. It is ridiculous, farcical and completely inconsistent with what we have seen in the past.

But are we surprised…. not  one bit. Protected club.

  • 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.

    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.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
