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

    North can't take a trick. They're playing Coldplay after every goal the score.

    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.

    Was going to say the same. What a soul-crushing time that was.

    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 Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
