Channel 7 asking Pendlebury in the post match interview about a ‘love tap’ on Neale is everything wrong with the AFL.

Stop creating the narrative. They did it last year and it’s fundamentally wrong.

It makes me hate the game.

I still love the game but absolutely hate the AFL

Tough night to be a Lions fan.  Frustrating to watch the team play so bad, but oh my, the umpiring was next level atrocious.  Would ruin the long weekend.

Crucified on Easter Eve.

So why didn't he do that roaming rubbish last Thursday night? Because Collingwood lost?

Dog act from Pendlebury. Dangerous hit off the ball more than 5 metres away. Pendlebury hit Neale with full force with the ball of his hand to his solar plexus. Pendlebury said it was retaliation in the interview and the retaliator always gets caught. He should be suspended for 2 weeks. Dog act.

Love the line. Every year my interest in footy drifts, poor administration and commentary make it a much poorer content

Picket, I find it helpful to understand your posts if I read them using the voice of Donald Trump. All of a sudden it explains a lot!

I said it earlier in the thread, you reckon any commentator would be calling it a love tap or a fine if Toby Green did that…

That's 2 Collingwood wins in a row where I've turned off the TV right before the final siren so I don't have to see their smug faces or hear that god awful song.

Lachie Neale is unbelievable.

Maynard dog act virus infecting even the great, never suspended, so fair, great bloke Pendles.

Dont like Collingwood winning and the subsequent media wankfest.

I do that all the time. Also with Carlton and Geelong. I really hate the Geelong love ins.

As much as I hate the filth (which is a lot), I agree with a previous poster that Pendlebury will get off with a fine. It looked like an open hand, not a fist. Dog act though.

And I don't think POS's tackle was a sling tackle. 

Brisbane were pretty terrible. It would have been carnage without Neale. Daniher, Hipwood, Berry were terrible. Cameron missed shots he'd normally get.

Brisbane play Norf and the filth play Hawthorn next round.

So easy wins for both of them.

Hawks have upset the Pies the last 2 times they played.

I'll reserve judgment on whether Collingwood are "back" until I see them play someone else.

Brisbane right now are no good. I don't think it's hyperbolic to say the wheels could fall right off. If they're this lethargic against North...well...probably not. But then they play us, Geelong, GWS, GC and Adelaide. It's a tough run and on current form they may well be 2-7 at the end of it.

It should be weeks though. Open palm strikes to the solar plexus are identical to punches. If that’s a fine then that is a terrible precedent to set.

But, like last September, terrible precedents are Collingwood's specialty.

Gut punches especially to the unaware, are cowardly and should not be part of the game.  Mentioned before Clarrie gets them regularly.  I remember  Sniper Harvey giving one to Bernie Vince who I don't think played much more of the game.  Sniper H wasn't cited either as far as I remember. 

Fines will not deter highly overpaid AFL "stars".

I don't think #4💩 (can't use his name) will get cited either, for his dump tackle, but would one of ours - to set an example?

I agree with you, the media has gone out of its way to downplay it all already (and I hate conspiratorial thinking) but geez, they’ve already poisoned the well so much by their characterisation of the strike as no big deal, that it would seem crazy for Pendles to get suspended. It’s been a very strange night from the commentators.

Fox Footy commentators saying just now in response to Pendlebury's hit on Neale "its ok to whack players in the solar plexus for the next 12 months". UNBELIEVABLE. I'l say it again. Pendlebury needs to be suspended for 2 weeks for that. DOG ACT.

It will most likely be a fine.

Intentional, body contact and low impact is a fine.

Has to be graded medium or above to get a week. For that, either the MRO decides it was genuinely medium force or applies the "potential to cause injury". I'd love it if the MRO did actually grade it medium but I doubt it.

Edit: a reminder that the system is broken. Any intentional strike should be a minimum week. If it's enough force to be reportable, then it's a week. It's [censored] moronic that we still have fines for intentional strikes.

Umpiring was AWFUL. 
 

The standard of the game was terrible by both teams. 
 

Brisbane just played worse than Collingwood. 
 

Joey Montagna saying Pendles punch was just a fine??

 

Interviewing and asking a player about an incident they should be suspended for straight after a game?

 

Referring to the incident as a ‘love tap?’

 

The reality of what we just witnessed vs the way it’s characterised by commentators is worlds apart. 
 

Painfully obvious tonight. 

After listening to the commentary tonight, I feel very lucky to have grown up with Bruce, Dennis, Sandy and Drew.  I feel sorry for the younger generation who know only the unprofessional rubbish Channel 7 trot out weekly now.

I am sick of Collingwood getting off scott free where other clubs get suspensions. Something has got to change. Now. It should start with Pendlebury's suspension for his DOG ACT on Neale tonight.

DOG.

We did have Rex Hunt unfortunately, but otherwise I agree.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
