Tackle isn’t dead: AFL sends fresh memo as Butler hopes grow

The AFL has sent a memo to all clubs outlining ‘safe tackling techniques’ as the dangerous tackle debate raged again on Thursday night. Will Saint Dan Butler be banned?

Think it said all players should carry a pillow and place said pillow on ground before tackling player.

    I think it's better for PA to win rather than Dogs.

    Realistically Port are certain to finish top 4, so it's better that other teams vying for fourth sport lose.

    true but on the other hand we don’t want Port to finish top 2

    Port are overrated. Besides rd 1 when they jumped the Lions still haven’t put anyone away. 
     


    Rd 1 smashed lions, lions clearly off their game
    Rd 2 they got smashed by the pies
    Rd 3 5 goal loss to the crows
    Rd 4 2 points over the swans
    Rd 5 14 over dogs, some bad umpiring in that game, sounds funny saying that against the dogs
    Rd 6 pump eagles big deal
    Rd 7 beat saints by 7
    Rd 8 beat bombers by 5 
    Rd 9 pump north big deal
    Rd 10 beat Dees by 4, Dees were totally outplayed. No denying it, play 1 good qtr and nearly beat them.
    Rd 11 beat tigers by 10 after Dimma stood down
    Rd 12 pump hawks big deal

    Carn the Dogs.

    Dan Butler has been offered one week by the MRP.

    Have they got it badly wrong or is this proof that the Butler did in fact do it?

    Garbage decision, between the umpiring, the tribunal and the push for 19/20 teams the AFL is alienating fans at a rapid pace.

    The AFL is a garbage pile of steaming [censored]. 
    Only Melbourne is keeping me from just throwing away all interest in the game.

    Ok so Butler concussed Blakey who not only missed a critical part of last night but misses a game next week as well. 1.5 games in total. Medium impact.

    Hunter makes contact with Rozee, who gets up like a Jack rabbit, kicks the winning goal and then goes on to have 27 touches the following week against Richmond. Medium impact.

    Exhibit A - victim is concussed. Misses remainder of game and a season “in balance” game next week against Brisbane. Medium impact.

    Exhibit B - Victim is the second most influential player on the ground after the incident and then goes on to have another near BOG performance the following week. Medium impact.

    How’s that for consistency from the MRP.

    Neither deserved of a suspension regardless of outcome

    Mr Floppy.

    I hate the way the commentators don't call out the fact that the decision was disgraceful.

    Weightman is a very good player but it’s hard to like him with his flopping.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
