He lifted a player off the ground and dumped him off the ball. That’s dangerous and silly. Nothing defensive about that. 

He was surrounded by half a team trying to provoke him in any way they could, including physically. I would argue it is defensive/minor retaliation with minimal capacity to cause injury.

    Brisbane have no drive of half back.

    They also can’t really do without Neale

    Great to see the two teams I dislike the most in Collingwood and Brisbane lose their opening two games.

    That’s not how AFL works. You cannot retaliate by throwing a guy to the ground like you’re in the WWE. It doesn’t matter how much they push your buttons. He’s lucky the guy didn’t hit his head or he’d be out for weeks. 

    This is exactly why they provoked him. He’s a dumb hot head.

    I assumed he got rubbed out for kicking the guy in the shins from the video

    Losing Kiddy Coleman really screwed up their ability to use the ball quickly and calmly off half back. He’s probably their most important player to their set up and I reckon it shows, like you mentioned,

    The so called footy experts are nothing but washed up over opinionated ex players searching for click bait.

    • 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.
