    It's almost a replica of the Maynard Assault.

    I thought P-P was stiff. A Port player turned the poor Crow dude directly into P-P's path...P-P never left the ground with the intention to thump....

    It’s hard to argue with that. His only intention was the upper body and he jumped off the ground. These things happen quickly but they are an eternity to these guys.

    Simpkin was distressed with concussion symptoms immediately from the vision.

    What are we doing here? The week after a bloke is medically retired due to hits to the head.

    What is the game about?

    i don't think it's going to be 10, but it should start at 6

    in other concussion news, will pucovski was sconned second ball of his innings down in tasmania

    he needs to be brayshaw'd and medically retired from sport where there's a chance of his head being hit

    8 weeks for Webster.

    FFS. That is everything we can’t have in the game.

    Make him miss two months of footy and he, and others, might finally learn.

    We would be en-[censored]-raged if that happened to one of our players.

    Enlighten me then, o wise and holy one.

    Actually was gonna ask you to settle a debate of sorts between me and another DL-er. He thinks you’re referring to a certain incident and I think you’re referring to a different incident.

    Incidentally, I’m very often NOT in the dark as you put it. No, I’m very often across things that aren’t public knowledge, just as you seem to be, or at least, you imply you are. Difference is I choose not to hint at things, or let everyone know that I know something they don’t know.

    If you can’t explain why Harmes is a bad boy, perhaps @dazzledavey36 can; I see he gave your post a thumbs up. 

    Please do not drag me into your guys high school gossip [censored].

    Prefer to talk footy thanks.

    Sort it over a DM you two.

    If the AFL want to make a statement on a head high bump then this is the perfect case study right here with this incident.

    You'd think 6 weeks at least is a starting point.

    They’ll throw the book at Webster. Very dangerous and very dumb.

    We will soon find out.

    Pp was dealt with properly although I'm not sure why they deliberated so long for.

    I hope this is sorted out pronto.

    Keep handing out minimum four week bans and players will soon start to behave.

    This warrants more than four for me. ( As was the Maynard hit).

    For sure. However,  take the red from their guernsey and I wouldn't be so confident.  😠

    It’s actually a replica of the Cripps hit which concussed his victim and put him out of the finals.

    Cripps’ penalty, a Brownlow.

    Blood oath it was. Webster can hardly be expected to avoid a collision when he's left the ground. He's like a frisbee with arms and legs. And Simpkin's momentum after kicking carried him in the direction of Webster, so it's all on him, really. I'm sure a few QCs arguing for 5 hours that up is down will sort this out amicably, with Webster being cleared.

    Oh.

    NOW you're asking for multiple weeks for a head high collision.

    Well, I suppose it's never too late. (Unless you're Angus Brayshaw.)

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
