I was feeling edgy about this Friday’s game and would have been happy to get the four points. Now I’m angry and just want us to smash Carlscum.

    Insane that Cerra got off and the 17 others didn’t. Some with less dangerous tackles too.

    This season in general has been ****house. Not only has the tribunal and umpiring been poor, but the quality of football and general excitement from watching games has been rock bottom. Can’t remember a less interesting season. Great job AFL.

    The AFL really want Carltank to stay relevant and alive in this year's season.

    That's a disgraceful decision.  Hopefully Hickey doesn't have permanent damage.  Where's the duty of care?

    Newman, Hewett, Cerra and potentially Cripps will all miss.

    I reckon Cerra will be successful in his appeal. It wasn't a sling tackle and Hickey hit the ground the way he did because of the way he fell with Cerra underneath him.

    And the same thing happened to 10+ other players this season who did not get off on appeal and missed games. 
    But somehow, miraculously, a Carlton player is let off. 

    The Parker ban was upheld. Same week. Same tackle. Different jumper.

    Gotta hand it to them. Carlton have the best legal representation in the league.

    Will some ask Gil in the presser “is this presser just a smokescreen to let Cerra’s appeal decision to get through unnoticed? “

    We all knew the outcome.  The AFL is on a mission re head knocks, but it’s compromised when ……..

    Yet Hunter who stood his ground went!

    WHAT A FRIGGEN CORRUPT SYSTEM!

    I'd suspect Carlton fans are saying similar RE the attention were getting in the media too

    With all due respect, we’re getting about 5% of the media attention of Carlton.

    He knows how to handle the tribunal, he makes them an offer they can't refuse.


    First time in my entire life, I don’t want to go to the footy! The AFL, the big clubs, the corrupt system, the umpires etc. Rules for some and not others. It’s shameful, biased and dishonest.

    From AFL website:

    The Tribunal panel, led by chairman Jeff Gleeson, found it wasn't a dangerous tackle.

    "Cerra only has a light grip on Hickey's arms. They are not truly pinned," Gleeson said.

    "Hickey could use one or both of his arms."

    Tom Sparrow’s tackle did not pin Day’s arms. Day could have used one or both of his arms. But it was deemed a dangerous action being a sling.

    Sparrow is not the only one. A large group of players have been suspended for similar actions when arms were not pinned.  But suddenly it’s now a relevant, if not determining, factor.

    And what happened to the infamous duty of care this time around?

    It’s really hard to have any faith in this system. I’d go one step further and say it’s a blight on the game that there is no consistency and certain players/clubs seem to get treated differently.

    The Blues must have an influencer or two of note who have the ears of some of the top brass.

    Too many 'cute' outcomes in their favour to be coincidental

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
