Genuine question, is the AFL (by threat of litigation) in 10 years time going to look more like a semi-contact Gaelic football? Is that where this is going?

I think it’s well and truly heading that way, and we will see it sooner than 10 years. We really are the biggest knee-jerk, spineless and feeble society in the western world.

    Of all the contentious decisions of late, this maybe the silliest yet!!!

    It's probably not, it's the Tribunal one last week.

    This one was run on legal technicalities, not the legality of the incident.

    What the Appeals Board said is that the Tribunal didn't get it wrong, on the Hawthorn legal arguments raised.

    The Tribunal did get it wrong, when looking at it as an incident and finding it deserved 3 weeks.

    If the Tribunal had given him a week, which was the worst he deserved, it would have ended there.

    nothing in that tackle.

    Other than he could have broken the kid's neck.

    It was a very dangerous incident and he deserved a few weeks.

    Carlton as usual get away with murder.

    I don't think there is another body within the AFL system. 

    Maybe a DL lawyer knows if the Courts are an option.

    But I doubt the Hawks would take that option.

    Yes, yes and yes.

    Who knows where it's all going. Maybe in 50 years science and technology will have advanced to a point where you can wirelessly insert a layer of extra protection to sit between the brain and the skull and increasingly prevent concussion, you never know with the rate things move.

    But until that time the semi-contact route looks likely.

    The hypocrites, during the off season I think, said that gut punches were not to be tolerated - unless of course the assailant is named Dustin Martin in which case they will get a slap on the wrist with a wet lettuce.

    And I couldn't believe John Longmire saying that the case involving his player was an accident - he charged him and concussed him.  FMD.

    Soon enough I'll look back on 2020 as the good old days of hard footy, similar to how I looked back to the 80's and 90's in 2020. How depressing is that.

    Heard Robbo going off his head on players (referrimg  to Dusty) throwing the elbow back should essentially be exiled. Well, Tom Hawkins circa 2021 says hello.

    Rampe can concuss an opponent way off the ball - an accident.  
    Bizarre.

    The Rampe justification of letting him off is so wild it’s actually unhinged 

    Absolute circus

    Not when taken in the right context which is that the Swans play the Dockers next up and allowing them an extra player is beneficial to the Freo death riding cause.

    Exactly Chelly and we dropped the ball by not mentioning this in the Deathriding thread. 

    Apologies if someone mentioned this in the Deathriding thread.

    Freo play Eagles and Hawks and if they beat them and Swans, pick 4 is probably gone.

    Lose to Swans and they need both wins to move up, but a win by sides above them in last 5 games will stop that.

    Hope you are right though Luci.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
