Sounds like a great idea all round.  I'm sure it must be a [censored] call for a club doctor to have to make anyway.

    Great round of footy, perhaps the best so far for the year?

    It is part of their job.

    The current ladder is a great example of how uneven the fixture is, and how it makes teams look much better than they are.

    The Saints are 5th and I reckon every team down to 15th would pick them to play if they had to pick a side above.

    I think the Saints are the worst 5th placed team after Rd 20 there has ever been.

    Alliir was unconscious and lying motionless for some seconds.  That is criteria #1 and #10 respectively on page six of AFL/AFLW guidelines.  #1 prohibits return to play.  #10 requires first an assessment before return but is trumped by #1.

    Jones had #5  Dazed, blank/vacant stare   and   #9. Player reports significant, new or progressive concussion symptoms, i.e. migraine.  These both require immediate removal and no return to play.  

    And out for two weeks.

    This excessive detail is to indicate that is quite cut and dried rather than to annoy you.

    That would mean the AFL to pay for independent doctors at all games costing a nice $$$$$ yet still cannot pay for professional umpires. Knee jerk reaction by the AFL if they do as most club doctors would be diligent to the protocols around possible concussion. It would however delete bias decisions by clubs by putting players in the firing line for future illness's and suing the AFL.

    Hey Wadda. I think our record at AO is something like 10-5 with a steady five-goal average-winning-margin, including a 2011 last-round seven-point tank and neutral loss to Essendon this year (with another crucial neutral win over Brisbane in 2021). Under Goody's tenure, starting with the 2017 upset over the Crows, I think we're even better. Have faith my friend - woo-hoo!

    Hey Sku,

    Ok i hear ya, i didnt realize it was that good. I know we had a purple patch at Adelaide for a while there. Still i personally dont like the idea of playing Port and their feral crowd if we can possibly avoid it. But we have to tackle all senarios if we are truly the Champs, which i believe we are. Bring em on.

    I’m a terrible person and I’ll probably go straight to hell for saying this but Zorko copping a bruising squeeze of the nuts makes me so happy. I’m highly amused by it. I laugh every time I hear about it. If I had to pick one player to suffer this fate it’d be hands down him. I’ve even contemplated sending Touk a thank you card but that might be taking things a little too far. I’m happy enough basking in the joy of it, silently (except for the sound of thunderous peals of laughter) and many times. 🥳

    No where near far enough I would have thought @WalkingCivilWar. At a minimum, in no particular order, I would suggest:

    • A knighthood
    • A license to operate all McDonald's in Queensland
    • An oligarch's yacht
    • An exemption to paying GST on alcohol and ?*& for the rest of his life
    • A lifetime job on Channel 7 talking [censored] on Friday nights.

    And of course the grub Zorko had the hide to snidely whinge about it. He is a filthy piece of human who deserves everything he gets. Dish it out but.....

    Titus O’Reilly’s take on the incident. You don’t have to read too hard between the lines to realise he may agree with you WCW. 

    “I’ve got a lot of sympathy for Zorko; there’s no cleaner player in the AFL”

    Trust that tiny nutted [censored] of a human to be a snitch and a cry baby. Don’t see players going to the AFL crying that you eye gouged them you absolute clown. 
    If there is a less respected player in the AFL, I would be shocked. A real piece of trash!

    If what Zorko is accusing Touk of is exactly what happened then Touk had breached a rule and should miss games.

    However we're talking about someone with form here and apparently proud of it. Forget the code, forget letting bygones be bygones, forget it could have been accidental (it was a tackle after all) let's go whinge to the first media outlet that will have us as we're known to do.

    The way he said there was bruising still there sounded like bull but that's just me. I would sincerely hope not.

    Dane Zorko is the kid that pours salt into your coca cola at a restaurant when you're not looking and thinks it's funny, can be hard to believe people like that when serious.

    Sick of seeing him on the news in Brisbane. Epitome of a grub for mine and I can't stand him.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
