I was feeling edgy about this Fridayโ€™s game and would have been happy to get the four points. Now Iโ€™m angry and just want us to smash Carlscum. ย

    Insane that Cerra got off and the 17 others didnโ€™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. Canโ€™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.ย  Hopefully Hickey doesn't have permanent damage.ย  Where's the duty of care?

    Unbelievable, and yet is anyone really surprised, corrupt system.

    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.ย 
    But somehow, miraculously, a Carlton player is let off.ย 

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

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

    Will some ask Gil in the presser โ€œis this presser just a smokescreen to let Cerraโ€™s appeal decision to get through unnoticed? โ€œ

    We all knew the outcome. ย The AFL is on a mission re head knocks, but itโ€™s compromised when โ€ฆโ€ฆ..

    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, weโ€™re getting about 5% of the media attention of Carlton.ย

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


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

    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 Sparrowโ€™s tackle did not pin Dayโ€™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. ย But suddenly itโ€™s now a relevant, if not determining, factor.

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

    Itโ€™s really hard to have any faith in this system. Iโ€™d go one step further and say itโ€™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

      Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™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. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™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 wasnโ€™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 ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
