    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.

    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: 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?
