You're kidding right?  Sparrow has been fantastic since returning from his week suspension.  No way he misses.

Chandler, Spargo or Tomlinson are names off the top of my head that will miss before Sparrow does.

Spargo goes for mine. Never gives the first, easy option anymore. Always trying the cute / tricky one atm

    And guess what happened the last time there was an earthquake in Vic? Before the recent one a couple of weeks ago.

    We won the next 11 games and a flag. 🥳

    Can’t see Sparrow getting dropped.  Most pressure acts vs Freo and second most vs Carlton. I reckon his suspension cost us 4 points against Port. 

    Agree

    The Tribunal referenced other incidents in the JDG case.

    Yep change procedure again.

    Not criticising Pickett, however he has had only 6 disposals in 2 of the last 3 games. Yeah, sure, he has the type of game that can cut you to ribbons, however it doesn’t happen that often. All I am saying is that if the finger is being pointed at Spargo, ANB and Chandler, then Pickett needs the heat on him as well.

    Quite often brings the most heat inside 50 though bobby.  Would be in our top 2 or 3 here since 2021 and sometimes leading the way.

    The coaches love this part about as much as the goals etc as they want dirrty rebounds / tumble punts out of 50.  Along with the repeat entries and likelihood of a few more turnovers in our foward half that doing so can bring.

    Not sure anyone else would bring a similar level of defensive stuff inside 50 coming from Casey at the mo.

    I hope that Kozzie feels the heat so much that he explodes on Monday and pulls of a trifecta.  
    a) Gets the mark of the year. 
    b) Kicks goal of the year. 
    c) Head buts the winning point.   
    Too much? I’ll settle for  just (c).

    Sorry to bear bad news everyone, but Clarry has an infected blister 😩

    https://twitter.com/melbournefc/status/1665988235028475904?cxt=HHwWgMDRzaLe454uAAAA 

    I had the same thing many years ago, a few weeks before I was about to run the London marathon. The GP said 'you can't run for a month now, there's major risks exercising with an infected blister'. I went to get a second opinion from Doc Reid, he said 'you're an [censored], of course you're running'

    So the option to reference (from both sides) is at the behest of the AFL Red?

    Even if the AFL decide this is so, are you saying the defence is then stymied and unable to invoke something like natural law (et al) in order to overide and reference other incidents as part of their case?

    So they knew what the public reaction was going to be. And circumvented it.

    So Hunter gets a week for standing still when an [censored] runs in to him with his head and no injury.JDG only gets 3 weeks for running and jumping into a kid wide open and concussed .I reallydont get it

    Don't want Sparrow making way, he's proved his worth in the last couple of weeks.

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
