That would be lovely Demon Disciple!

    A team will end up taking the AFL to court. It is just getting ridiculous. If he goes for that when the other two got off "Tuesday" all hell will break loose.

    Absurd isn’t it. It was a perfect tackle and should’ve been a free kick to Butler. The game is stuffed.

    Uncle would never qualify for banner making for a raft of reasons but mainly because we have a dress code: no skirts or dresses, and a kaftan is considered a dress, right? Also, no shoes. If he was to take his crocs off, in all likelihood he wouldn’t be able to get them back on again because portly.

    I'm reliably informed that the person you are referring to is one of the Manor's staff dear.

    In this instance, Uncle's long standing stunt double, the low-born fustilugs who sometimes goes by the name of "Fang the Faitour" from Flowerdale.

    I thought it was a great tackle (still do) and couldn’t believe when they started saying he might be in trouble. It’s gonna get to a point where chase-down tackles will be a thing of the past.

    Who’s Daisy talking to? Just having a full blown conversation during the game. I wonder if they thought their mics were off? 
    Edit: I’m watching it delayed and only in the third quarter. Disregard!

    Did you just call me “dear”?

    Also I have nfi what you’re on about.

    If you can't tackle in this game, then we are well and truly stuffed. The game becomes a touch game waiting for the other team to make a mistake. 

    It's outrageous, egregious, preposterous.

    How long does the game have left when players get rubbed out for these kinds of tackles.

    This season is killing my love for the game. Going to be rubbed out for a perfectly executed, run down from behind tackle.

    How on earth does the term careless apply to that tackle?

    bad result for us? by the end of the year last years grand finalists could be up and about with players back. they are now unlikely to make finals which is fantastic. if we are worried about playing the Saints we are in trouble

    I Agree DubDee. Taking a short-term view clearly it would have been good to see Sydney win but this will definitely make it harder for Sydney to be playing to make the 8 in R24. St Kilda won the game but benefitted from a ridiculous 50-metre penalty at a crucial time. Sydney were missing Mills, Parker, both McCartins, Logan McDonald, Sam Reid. Clearly both Rampe & Amartey were underdone but were rushed back because the Swans are missing so many players. I shouldn't single out individual players but guys like Lewis Melican aren't AFL standard. Aaron Francis was absolutely dreadful.

    In short, Melbourne shouldn't be worried about St Kilda. Currently rated a 30/1 chance to win the AFL Premiership by Sportsbet. If we see them as a threat then we are in serious trouble.

    Go back and look at Chandler's 2 week incident.

    Exactly the same.

    That was ridiculous and so will this be if he gets suspended.

    Dual All-Australian Leigh Montagna empathised with Chandler.

    “That’s a tough one because if you watch that in slow motion, at the last minute you see his palms come down. So he let go of him as he was doing it,” Montagna told First Crack.

    It's getting to the point where you cannot tackle someone running at pace

    it is impossible to tackle someone running at speed and not make impact with the ground

    Do your best to protect the head but the game needs to be played. get the players to sign disclaimers about the risk of concussions and stop this BS

    I have only been able to see the AFL Mini version of SS V SK.  

    The two 50s paid seemed very technical - however there were two quite clear breaches earlier when Saints were held after marking that were not paid. That is what 50s were introduced to stop.    The game is getting to be an absolute lottery.

    The two “dangerous tackles” would have been clear HTB until very recently - neither surely should be worth a suspension, but then Chandler got ?3 last year for very little, in play.  How good a day is Michael the Unbiased Christian having?  Good day; nothing to see   Bad day; 3 weeks  🙄

    Umpiring interpretations are totally ruining the enjoyment of the game - this even for a game in which I had zero stake in the outcome and of which I have only watched 10 minutes or so.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
