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 itโ€™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.ย

    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.ย

    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.ย 

    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.ย

    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. ย 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.ย

    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.ย 

    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.

    • 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 Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      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.

    • 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
