    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.)

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
