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: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
