    See above ^

    Earlier in the match May tackled Harmes and got in his face a little whilst he was on the ground.

    Harmes probably wanted to stand his ground a little this time but overplayed his hand it seems.

    Wasn’t much in it. I would ban McGrath for being a [censored]. Those who initiate need to be accountable.

    Apparently it's now OK to kick an opponent.

    The game is disappearing up its own fundament at an exponential rate.

    well it's still not ok

    you will still, at the very low end, at least incur a free kick and a substantial fine.

    and at the higher end ....

    hardly worth the risk, so i don't think we will see a surge of strategic opponent kicking

    You reckon $2,500 is a substantial fine for a highly paid AFL Captain?  

    That's just loose change for Sicily, assuming of course that the money even comes out of his own pocket.

    Kicking an opponent is as low as it gets.  He deserved to cop a suspension for his actions.  Onya AFL.

    Most of the ex players in the media agree. To them kicking is a suspension, end of story. It was a kick not a tap.

    Just pathetic really.

    Now kids will think it’s ok to kick another player, as long as it’s not too hard a kick.

    • 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?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
