We might have booked Scully but the rest of the comp didn't. It's bloody stupid unless you're north supporters.

North weren't even playing tonight!

Every club participates in the draft, and every club's supporters have the right to expect their #1 pick to at least see out the first contract.

    Why every other teams fans has joined the booing bandwagon is somewhat perplexing but probably relates to group think

    Group sheep think more like it.

    Absolute star tonight!

    i’m going to enjoy the Saints slide down the ladder and out of finals. 

    they had 28-14 free kicks and still bottled it. their lack of midfield talent will tell.

    What about every club not involved and their spectators?

    Once again excuse my ignorance but how did he avoid seeing out that contract?

    Every club is involved in the draft. That's the point.

    I think you are right. I can’t work out what rule a number of these so called frees are awarded for. 

    28 frees to  St K, 14 to Port. 
    Absolutely every 50:50 decision went to the Saints. The Marvel crowd( all Saints) definitely influenced the Umpires by screaming for frees the whole match.

    We Demon supporters have got to try to influence the imps like that, but it’s harder at the bigger MCG, and we rarely have a crowd  that all goes for us .

    He's a gun and was always going to be. Like the way he goes about his footy when he's switched on.

    I've never booed a player because they stiffed a club other than mine.

    He had his foot out the door half way before his first season was over and requested a trade to Port.

    North could have held him to his contract but seemed both parties thought a split was better.

    North have done well out of the deal regardless with Sheezel and Wardlaw, who hasn't played yet. Wardlaw is an explosive mid who will be a gun, assuming he gets on the park (injury prone with hammy issues last year).

    Fair enough, seems like a waste of energy though.

    Been going to the football for over 50 years. I have never booed any player or umpire. I'd feel a fool doing it and I'd be right. It's simply moronic.

    Carn crows!

    Funnily enough, if Crows get up and and both Bombers and Lions win, there will be 7 teams at the top of the ladder separated only by percentage.

    Imagine changing your employer and then turning up to site with all the proper accreditation, head out and get booed by 'stakeholders', whilst you go about your paid job for 3 hours to provide entertainment for 'stakeholders' on a weekly basis...

    Imagine doing so when you are 19.

    Imagine thinking, "He's an AFL footballer, it's fair game, it comes with the territory..."

    It's an absolute [censored] disgrace by those that do it, and by those that condone it and the apologists.

    I am so surprised that where we are culturally in 2023, and how the AFL positions itself around mental health that it has not been addressed by the AFL publicly. The AFL need to disentangle the right to boo about incidents in a match, vs systemic individually directed bullying...

    Yes, it's a mental health issue.

    The 50m penalty needs to go

    I say keep it but I think they could have a 25 m penalty used in conjunction. Not all infractions deserve the same penalty. Just saying.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
