Sicily straight to the Tribunal. HQ is fully cooked.

 

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. 

Essendon fans booing Saad. Really? Really, chumps????

A Blues will help us more and I hate them less than the scum.

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.

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.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
