So umps allowed to talk but player can’t? Double standard if you ask me.

The umpires are officiating the game. Not the players.

    Kozzie just going for a spoil. It's a footy act. Can't change your position once in the air......

    If you don’t think they will give him a week for that then you haven’t been paying attention, I don’t agree with it but he will get a week I would be shocked if he doesn’t 

    Appeal, appeal, appeal I say!

    More silly post 

    Not really, they are cracking down big time in this especially if you have a history.

    Yep he's in trouble.

    He's letting the team down with that stuff. 

    Needs to stop asap.

    Pickett turns his head and follows the ball before contact, the elbow is not intentional as he is looking to push off the player to burst away, I think the first angle looks bad, but the second one shows he is just following the footy. Clearly low impact.

    If we go by Collingwood lawyer the Adelaide player runs himself into his elbow. Lol. To soon?

    Minimum of two weeks for Koz , and may even be as high as 4 , being intentional, head high and having priors.

    Silly boy

    Come off it , he had his arms out to try to smother, saw the contact coming, put his arm down to protect his side/ribs.

    I think he just makes overly aggressive decisions. Tommy McDonald did the same thing when he was around the same age. It's an education thing not a skill thing I think.

    Yep, he needs to tidy up that part of his game

    I mean they didn't do anything about that thug act by Collingwood's number 4... 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Kozzzy thinks it’s the 1980s.  Someone has to tell him that times have changed.  Two weeks at least 🤢🤢🤢🤢

    Yep, clear as day. Left the ground, tucked the elbow to protect himself and not his opponent, head high contact + prior history. 2-4 for him.

    How’s the wind?

    I've had some spicy chicken wings and several beers. Likely to increase this half.

    He lifted the elbow and made contact with the head

    His problem is he's got form.

    Fair enough if he doesn't get the benefit of the doubt.

    Needs to cut that stuff out.

     

    This. 
    And as soon as your feet leave the grind you’re in big trouble

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
