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: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
