i’m still getting my head around Zerk-Thatcher not being suspended for knocking out Naughton, but I can’t be bothered looking for a replay. Good to see there can still be accidents I guess.

Didn’t knock him out, surprisingly broke his nose but appeared unintentional contact. Probably should have got the same as Heeney - both off or both one week.

    My bad. I thought he was subbed out after failing the HIA?

    Yes he was diagnosed with concussion and will miss 12 days/2 games as mandatory precaution. Don’t think he lost consciousness though.

    What gets me is the inconsistency. 

    Hogan gets off

    Pendlebury gets off

    That bloke from Collingwood gets off.

    And this gets a week?

    1. Let’s not forget a similar action fractured Mays cheekbone and he didn’t plant for a couple of weeks.

    2. This get ms a week and I hate to bring it up again, but Maynard get zilch. [censored] how putrid is this game becoming. It’s a freaking laughing stock.

    Also, where was the Charlie Cameron "never been suspended" rule here?

    This is my entire issue with how ridiculous that decision was. Heeney is a more important player, with a cleaner record than Cameron, but he doesn’t get the rule applied to him?

    It hasn’t been applied since, and probably never will again. What an absolute joke.

    Whilst I don't think it deserves a week, I am happy as it makes the Bont one step closer to winning the Brownlow and I dropped money on that pre season 🤣

    so are you saying it doesn’t deserve a week or you think the brownlow rules should be changed back? 

    Both but definitely the latter.

    The front on video shows it was accidental light head contact, after a deflection from Webster’s hand.

    You can bet if he'd gotten off there would be just as many on here bemoaning the fact.

    Your point? That people do disagree?  

    Personally, I haven't made up my mind (probably because I can't be bothered - there are plenty of other MRO decisions which are so blatantly wrong/biased that I don't have the energy to engage with this one).

    Further evidence that the inconsistences of this Basket Case Russian Roulette of a system is a disgrace. NO WAY HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN CONVICTED. I Feel for the young superstar 😇

    SHOCKING 🤮

    It's not very often I agree with you PF but 100% on this one. The inconsistency is breathtaking.

    Zac Butters and Toby Greene are both repeat offenders for whacking opponents in the stomach but that's ok as long as nobody gets hurt. Just fine them. It won't happen but I'd love one of these two to finish second in the Brownlow behind Heeney and therefore win it. Fairest and Best?

    Surely the AFL conspiracy theory narrative has him getting off - Brownlow to a northern state team, or at a minimum a gripping night at the Brownlow.

    Clear week imo

    Webster was holding him back from leading to the contest. Heeney swung his arm back below shoulder level to break the hold. Webster had slipped down hence the high contact. No way Heeney would have known his head was there.

    Not a fan of the suspension.

    Don't care about the Brownlow. Don't care much about Heeney either.

    If a bloke is tagging and scragging then he leaves himself open to getting wacked especially when his head position changed. (again a Brayshaw issue vs West Coast where there was some doubt about "shifting targets"

    Gus wasn't tagging anyone and did not get protected.

    He said sorry, and he is a good bloke, what more,  The vision of Blood coming from the other guys nose well, he was a wimp, should have got up and kept playing   clearly only a love tap,

    Webster did slip and faceplant into the turf unrelated to any impact. 

    100% certain were the “assailant” named Daicos (or Cripps) there would be “benefit of the doubt” nothing to see here.

    Christian used to appear on TV with his deadpan stare justifying either the charge or the exoneration - does he still do this?  Every time I saw him I thought he just looked as thick as ……

    Really classy comparing the afl to the Gestapo.

    What would you prefer, without getting 'political', as a comparison?

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
