    Can we play the race card?

    This is clearly a play to get the Dutch.
    No non- Dutch players got suspended this week.

    Houghton referencing a case from 1909 was fitting, because 1909 is also the number of minutes this appeal looks like it will take.

    CTE is horrible - agreed. But the risks are known and accepted by all. In most cases the head can tolerate and recover from concussion if left to heal.

    If the AFL is serious about concussion then it needs to consider a minimum 1 month or even 2 month absence from footy following a concussion and that accumulated concussion incidents force players into early retirement.

    That is an alternative way to deal with it rather than tinker with the game rules too much.

    Now I’m not saying certain rules cannot be tightened up - all for penalising players for potential to cause injury for non football actions as opposed / in addition to actual outcome, but it still won’t prevent all concussions and hence to make the decisions for players who are more concussion prone or have more concussion incidents for them.

    In due time we will have better techniques and tools to assess the accumulated trauma , which can be used to greater effect when making those decisions as well. 

     

    If they were bloody well serious about concussion, how come Fogarty didn't get a month???

    This new lawyer is good. I’m thinking his arguments can’t really be disputed.

    Melbourne also contesting there was a "denial of natural justice" from the Tribunal because it didn't give an opportunity to Melbourne to put forward submissions in relation to penalty once the Tribunal made its decision on the act.

    Can't help but think the Melbourne like the rest of the football world expected this to be thrown out on Tuesday night. They did not go as hard as they should have because of this. A very Melbourne thing to do.

    The AFL rep Woods has got his act together tonight

    I'm not getting the vibe

    Andrew Woods (AFL): The AFL's position is that a player can have the sole objective to spoil, or mark, or tackle ... but can execute it carelessly. If they do execute it carelessly, they breach the duty of care they owe to the other player and thereby commit a reportable offence.

    Andrew Woods (AFL): If the AFL's proposition isn't accepted, the result is that players essentially have a blank cheque. They've got no obligation to take reasonable care of their fellow players, so long as their sole objective is a lawful action.

    The AFL’s position is just that, a position. 
    We have rules and laws. You can’t just change your position on a written law to suit your current agenda!

    We are either following the law or we aren’t. 
    Also Ballard was unharmed so who says this spoil was careless?

    If the AFL makes it so that every action which has potential to cause injury is suspendible there’ll be no players eligible to play after this weekend.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      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.
