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

    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

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
