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.

Would like to discuss Pendlebury but no time...I'm off to enrol the grandkids in karate lessons...get ready for lots of broken ribs in a few years when they start doing the old Kung Fu karate chops.

    Very nice Pendles, blame Lachie Neale for hitting you first, claiming you are the unlucky retaliator who got caught.

    Put another player in to save yourself a suspension and maybe even get the other player in trouble.

    Would have thought most AFL players would see that as pretty ordinary behaviour.

    Pies will go 0-4 and will drop out of contention. 

    Well, obviously this didn't happen. I'm happy with the Pies at 1-3 and the Lions at 0-3. But I don't think any team is out of contention after losing just 3 games in a row. Obviously it looks bad when it's early in the Season but at some stage good teams will get on a run. Similarly I can't see how odds for Premiership can be so short after 3 games. Sydney $5, GWS $5.50. I know odds aren't purely based on the 3 games so far in 2023, but with injuries, especially at season end, poor form, let alone that there's 20 matches still to play I wouldn't be backing any team at those odds. You've still got to win 3 finals games including the last 2 to be Premiers!

    On top of that, two of their AFLW players were done this week for drug use.

    Shocking culture at Sydney going back decades to Swans player Dale Lewis’ 2002 statement that 75 per cent of AFL players had tried illicit drugs.

    The Swans’ culture should receive saturation coverage in the media over the next week.

    And Wicks isn’t the only Swans player not to get a game this weekend. They have a bye.

    Is the Herald Sun kinda like the sporting version of women's weekly.

    So much stuff being printed based on stories rather than verified facts

    Out of the 2, I’d consider the HS to be more of a rag mag

    No doubt much that goes on is swept under the carpet with many players and clubs Jack.

    Unless of course it gets leaked out to the public and/or media.  Loose lips sink ships!

    Bombers are still a rabble. Saints should be 4-5 goals up

    This is like watching a different sport to the last two nights 

    umps calling nothing. Saints have 3 free kicks in a half

    Martin with 28 disposals in a half. What’s the record ?

    Saints have kept the Bombers in this game with poor goal kicking, annoying, I hate the Bombers. 
     

    On the umps, what has happened to HTB this season? It’s always been hit and miss and they’ve always called far too few incorrect disposal for my liking but the absolute classic ‘take them on, get tackled, drop ball, HTB’ is just not getting paid this year. It’s a blight on the game, that’s the best bit of the rule!!

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      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.
