I do not understand why The AFL does not take eye gouging seriously. It is a disgrace, going right back to Chris Judd. 
It is highly dangerous

    And they didn't even need to call in their lawyers.

    The MFC curse never leaves you

    Giants small forward Toby Bedford was not so lucky, with Christian offering him a one-match ban for his bump on the Blues’ Zac Fisher. It is Bedford’s second rough conduct offence, after he was suspended for one match late last year when he was still playing for Melbourne, for a dangerous tackle on Swan Ollie Florent.

    Christian assessed Bedford’s action as careless conduct, medium impact and high contact.

    GWS have already announced they will appeal the sanction in a bid to clear the ex-Demon for the Giants’ elimination final on Saturday week against St Kilda at the MCG.

    I really feel for Toby Bedford. He’s been sensational this year, and deserves to play finals footy.

    He made a split second decision to put his body in the way to do the team thing. It’s a tough penalty considering a player made a decision to scrape his hands over someone’s eyes and is free to play.

    They should appeal and get him off. It’s a disgraceful suspension. Nothing in it. 
    As if he’d get suspended if he wore a Blues, Pies or Sydney jumper.

    Who are you tipping in the first week of finals and what’s the best results for the Demons?

    Melbourne to make everyone's spidey-senses tingle by smacking Collingwood.

    Carlton over Adelaide.

    St Kilda and GWS to continue in a state of unobserved probabalistic uncertainty with neither being fully eliminated until the semi-final when someone finally looks and the wavefunction collapses. #quantumtipping

    Brisbane over Port.

    I would love to see Carlton smashed by Sydney after watching the Dees give the filth a touch up. 

    That would ensure a terrific weekend of gaiety and frolics at The Manor.

    Would love those results too but cant see Swans beating Bluebaggers. Swans look tired.  Not the same team that beat us in the QF last year. 

    Expect Curnow to receive loads of love from the umpires.

    Would love to see Carlton bundled out tomorrow night. 

    GWS to beat the Saints 

    Can see Port winning Saturday night. 

    And what's the other game this weekend. I just go for which ever team finished lower on the ladder.

    What I want

    - Sydney

    - Saints

     

    What will happen

    - Carlton

    - Brisbane

    - GWS

    Yes.  good luck to Bedford. Mathew Lloyd ripped into the AFL and suggested a name player would not have been suspended.

    Sam MacClure  said he'd be absolutely shocked if the appeal succeeded. No way he'll be let off.

    Wrong again.

    Go Port. And Sydney

    So who do we want to win now?

    I'm hoping Sydney and Port get it done. Think we match up better with Sydney and we play Adelaide oval better.

    I hope Port and the Lions knock lumps out of each other. injuries left right and center.

    Do not want to see Carlton win. An agonising loss would be best.

    Would like to see the Saints get the win but i think GWS will be too strong for them.

    🤔 Interesting. Seems no one jumped on you for this comment. Yet @Jaded No More was taken to task for saying similar last night. And before the offended mount their high horses again, wishing injuries is wishing injuries, no matter the type of injury.

    BTW, I agree with both you and Jaded, BDA.

    Definitely want Port to win. Last place on earth we want to end up is  the backwater Gabba ground in a Prelim.

    Could be a moot point. We will roll up next week with a fwd line that will struggle to kick 10 goals against tonights winner. We could have won the flag if our players kicked straight. Not happening.

    Likely to go out in straight sets X 2.

    4 lost MCG finals.... urghhhh.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
