    Sicily sent straight to Tribunal.

    That usually means minimum 3 weeks.

    I thought he would be unlucky to get 1 week.

    What the hell is going on ?

    He was on ground and pulled McCluggage down into him and then another player came in and they rolled over.

    How is that a suspension at all?

    Cornes is correct, no one knows what is going on in the game.

    The AFL is really hell bent on ruining the competition in the name of optics.

    If Sicily is suspended for that tackle then the AFL Is finished and fans need to start not showing up in protest it’s rediculous

    That is the question Red.

    No one seems to have the answer .... or they're not sharing it.

    Are they trying to take the contest out of the game entirely?

    The game is now a real mess and there is no Footy Manager of the AFL in place.

    I doubt it would make a difference if there was Red.

    As you know the AFL are [censored] their pants over the concussion issue and its legal implications. No one wants to make a decision or provide any sort of definitive ruling in case it backfires.

    The result is we are left with the weekly chooklotto . 

    The current situation is intolerable but it looks like it's here to stay for the foreseeable future.

    Genuinely torn tonight. Can't decide if I want to see Essendon miss finals more than Voss get the sack.

    I'm with you Rab. I will ease my inner turmoil by not cheering for either, and enjoying the errors and fails of both teams. I think as the game progresses, my deep-psyche loathing of all things Essendon will emerge the stronger.

    Say what you want about both these sides, but you would love to have Wright, Curnow or McKay in Dees colours.

    What did you expect?

    So if you dump a player in the tackle, 2+ weeks suspension. If you hold them and bring them to ground safely, you get pinged for holding the man.

    That is so wrong. Weideman took the advantage and missed

    Carlton look like they could play all night and not kick another goal.

    I thought the Dees struggle with the default long bomb in hope, but the Blues and Bombers are at another level. They both look bereft of system between wing and half-forward.

    Hi all, just thought I’d mention that Peter Wright was playing tonight. The commentators and broadcasters haven’t told us yet.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
