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.

    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

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
