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. 

A strike is a strike. Can you strike someone in the head with an open hand and get away with it too. Seriously.

The AFL is a circus.
But it's also so noveu and stylish. Every year, we get to try and work out what new interpretations of rules.
What's in FASHION THIS YEAR?

This year I'm calling it "Pushin in the back is pretty sweet most of the time"

at 10:41 in the last quarter, at a centre bounce, the ball went to the edge of the square where a lions player was held by one arm while trying to take posession of the ball, then pushed in the back on to the ball as two other pies players raced in and pushed the ball back under the lions player and three of them laid on top of him while locking the ball into him. Then put their arms up of course.

Free kick collingwood - holding the ball.

This is called "a pressure act" by the highly paid exspurts at channel 7

Full credit to collingwood, their attack on lions ball carriers was immense and won them the game and.... the free kick count. 22 to 16.

The real winners tonight in this grand final rematch of course were CRYPTO.COM and OMO Ultra.

Thanks AFL and the media circus.

Anyone else find KAYO juddery as hell tonight?

Intentional. More than 5 metres of the ball. Medium impact. Likely to cause injury. DOG ACT PENDLEBURY.

Your Mum told you that the retaliator always gets caught.

2 weeks suspension I would think:

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.

Take Neale out of that team tonight & they would have been lucky to have got within 10 goals.

...look a rabble at the moment.

North don't have any KPD's so you could expect Joe & his mate to beat up on them otherwise I reckon I would back North in...

Rule of the week this week is pushing in the back, but only if you are a Pie.

They got a fair shake of the stick in tonight's game by jingo's.

When are the media going to come out of the woodwork and call the Lions "A wasted Dynasty that even got off the ground/won a flag" :laugh:

He’ll get a week and the Tribunal will accept Collingwood’s plea that it was a football act that Pendlebury couldn’t avoid and that it be downgraded to low impact (despite Neale collapsing and suffering bruising). 😎

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

Isn't the roaming Brian reserved only for Friday Night games? But there's no FN game this week I think.

Yeah, I saw a couple legitimate tackles by the lions that were then reversed by the umpires calling them push in the back 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️. If you tackle from behind doesn't mean it's automatically a "push".

Weitering back in for the Blues is huge. thought he was going to miss 9-10 weeks.

Highly unlikely but would be something if North could beat Blues today.

Strange night for adjudication. The official free kick count was 30 to 20 in Collingwood’s favour for a total of 50 free kicks on the night. I recall quite a few holding the ball decisions being paid that were of a kind let go in last weekend’s Hawthorn v Melbourne game so I checked the stats from that game (20 - 17). That’s 26% less and I’m wondering if the AFL has issued a directive to the umpires about enforcing the holding the ball rule this week? I guess we’ll see as the round unfolds.

Take away their home advantage which isn't working anymore and they will struggle.

The difference in umpiring htb in our game and last night was huge.

It was weird they let it go so much in our game.

They were probably under a directive from the cfc re the saints game.

I had never rated Hipwood and then he went and had a breakout 10 minute spell against us that yielded four goals and turned the game.

Ever since I have waited for a repeat performance but the best I have seen from him is a couple of "useful" games.

Last night Eric was his typically useless self. Daniher almost as bad.

The umpiring was however, worse than both of them. It was impossible to reconcile the decisions applied to both teams. Hopefully there is a backlash but it's unlikely because the post game talk the afl wants is the magpies are back.

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.

...

Sure no fist, but it looked to me like he didn't hit him with his palm or fingers, but with the hard bone next to the wrist.  Can be as damaging as a fist if you get the swing right.

Dog act. This strike is only intending to incapacitate an opponent. Therefore, this should really be stamped out in the game these days with suspensions, but don't think we've crossed this bridge yet. It may be open hand, but it still would hurt given it looks like the base of his palm makes the contact so would generate more force in the strike. Get this solar plexus strike wrong, could easily break his xiphoid process (bottom of his sternum bone).

Isn’t it normal for teams to get about 5-6 frees right in front of goal, for nothing incidents in a game?

Then, blatant frees against the opposition being ignored, to allow you to goal.

That’s pretty normal isn’t it?

PS: One beauty was when Harris’s hand touched Mihocek’s chest for a milli second, another free and goal.

    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
