Toby Pink giving us a clear demonstration of the yawning gap between the SANFL and the AFL. He'll need a month of counselling if he stays on McKay all day.

    No they haven’t.

    Its not a free when the back man touches his opponents side and the forward  holds his hand in.

    It’s also not a free kick when the forward just throws one arm behind him and the umpire imagines it is being held.

    Soft as butter some of their frees giving charity goals.  

    when the backman holds onto the arm and stops the forward going at the contest it should be a free

    every time

    Some North players have to be on 200k+ more a year than they’d get at another club, just to meet their salary cap requirements.

    Them and the Eagles are an example of where the minimum salary cap doesn’t work.

    we were in the same position too in the post-daniher, pre-goodwin era

    players being paid on potential not performance

    It's not always the frees they pay, it's the ones they don't, Cripps constantly throws the ball, two handed

    Clubs should be able to bank some of the money to help attract free agents. We’ve gotten so creative with points systems, we should allow some leeway.

    Agree, but that wasn’t what I described to you on two particular incidents.

    Commentators agreed btw, not that that proves anything.

    Ooooooof course that's the outcome. Hey parents everywhere, the AFL condone players thumping opponents in the solar plexus unawares and off the ball. Keep that in mind when supporting your kids into a sport.

    Correct. And sometimes he shrugs it out. Never penalised.

    IMO the umpires appear intent on punishing North for being rubbish by rewarding Carlton every half-free kick they can find.

    Low impact for the Pendlebury strike, seriously?

    It was medium at the very least, as he floored Neale with it………..oh but wait, medium impact would mean suspension

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back at the MCG and have a massive challenge ahead of them as they take on Premiership contender the Gold Coast Suns. What do you want to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
