Big test for the AFL will they become serious with player penalties or will they continue down the good guy, big name player course

    Probably will given a week - club and media firestorm to follow - then appeal - downgraded to fine.

    The AFL integrity machine will be working overtime. 

    Nibbler, Jack Trengove and all the other “middle tier” victims from all clubs to this corrupt regime say hi.

    Like many, if it wasn’t for the Dees, it’d be local suburban footy for me.

    Agree, shiithouse special comments guy.

    .....and when coupled with Pavlich, you just have to turn the sound off, as I do. At least others pretend to be unbiased. Not those two. 

    Ironically, neither were born and raised in WA but obviously suffer from Stockholm syndrome.

    As a Dees supporter I’d love Windsor to win it, but theres no way he’ll displace Wardlaw or Owens - and fair enough too.

    Windsor to do a Bradbury?

    Windsor has really slowed down past few weeks, looks tired

    Would love him to clean up his disposal a bit

    You can't deny this bloke is a very special talent. I look forward to seeing him play for many years. Of course I'd love for that to be in red and blue but I understand that is just a pipe dream.

    I am just pleasantly surprised that the usual preferential treatment handled out to AFL golden children didn't occur this time. Realistically, the already badly battered reputation of the AFL probably couldn't have survived another blatant miscarriage of justice.

    I also believe the decision will serve Harley himself well in his maturity and development.  Sure, it's a shame that it will cost him the Rising Star, but it also says to him, we know you are already a super footballer and a likely future great of the game, but you are subject the the same rules as everyone else. 

    This is one part of the whole thing that I hope is not a pipe dream.

    Will Schofield the most biased commentator in the AFL “what else could Reid do”. David King anything but what he did. Schofield should not be let near a microphone.

    Didn't Schofield retire early due to multiple concussions?

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
