Was this a portent of what was to befall the Swans tonight?

    Usually they say on AFL site subbed out with injury if concussed. 

    Doesn't say anything. But he was clearly unbalanced and his feet were buckling as he went off.

    Would have to be concussed you would think, but it's Carlton.

    They are following Ports handbook on Concussion Management.

    Swans didnt kick straight enough  to win just like us

    A Collingwood Carlton final next week would have been great. At least then one of them would have had to go. Unfortunately we stuffed up. Guess we'll just have to put them out.

    Giants should comfortably beat the Saints

    Saints are one of the worst finals teams i’ve seen

    Tim Membray out for St Kilda today with an undisclosed illness. Sounds a bit more serious than a morning sniffle.

    Saints can’t take a trick with their injuries either. Massive out.

    is ‘personal health reasons’ code for a hangover?!

    in all seriousness it sounds a lot worse than your average injury

    If the Saints wanted to respect his privacy, all they need have said is 'he is not well and can't play'.  Instead they said:

    "Membrey is currently receiving appropriate care and treatment due to a personal health matter," St Kilda said in a statement. 

    "Tim's health and wellbeing is our primary concern and the club asks that Tim and the Membrey family's privacy is respected at this time."

    I don't think the fact that apparently the AFL had to give special permission changes that.   If the AFL has a policy on when they are prepared to do that, it should be published and framed in a way that is so broad that it gives no extra fuel to speculation yet prevents club's from breaking the normal rules about selection.

    I know I should follow the Saints but 4 some reason, I feel inclined to support Gws.

    Jason Bennett is an interesting caller, because he calls the game. It’s just a shame he gets partnered with Darcy.

    Actually  supporting Gws makes sense.

    They are a far better chance of beating Lions or Port than St Kilda.

    thanks Goody for ignoring Toby so much that he left the club

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
