I've heard MFC's interest has simmered due to his tribunal cultural issues 

Yes MFC should come out and say this behaviour doesn’t sit well with “our culture” 😀

    I know all of the arguments, I just don't agree that torso bumps that result in an unforeseen concussion should be penalised.

    I accept I hold a minority view.

    I know what you mean but the boundaries have shifted. 
    It’s the same as saying about a sling, tackle, ”I didn’t tackle him high. He hit his head on the ground.”

    These days that sort of contact causing a concussion just cannot be classified as unforeseen.

    Straight to the tribunal, but it has been deemed as careless rather than intentional.

    The horse has probably bolted on this one, but what an addition he could've been to our club.

    60 meter spear passes from half back, or threading the needle with inside 50 targets. Exactly the attributes we're crying out for.

    I don't think the horse has bolted but could be wrong.

    Funny, when Melbourne where the set destination, it was 2 first round picks based on Cal's Gettable podcast. Now that we are out of the picture and the Blues maybe a destination, its just 1 first round pick @ 12.

    I wouldn't completely rule this out yet.

    Bit of water to flow under the bridge before trade period.

    I’ve seen the clip a couple times and it just looks like a really good hard bump with no head high contact (there might have been but I can’t see any).

    Yeah I can’t make up my mind on the incident. I like Houston, just saw he copped 5 weeks.

    Yeah I’m the same. A concussed player and ‘duty of care’ guarantees he’s gone even though it’s just looks to be a well executed hard bump.
     

    Oh wow, I thought they would have given him 4 so there’s a chance he could make the Granny. Maybe that will be the case after the appeal.

    5 weeks is pretty standard for that type of action. There was no need to bump, he chose to and the player was knocked out.

    Ahhhh it was graded as high contact so looks like he did make contact with the head.

    This year is very different to the past 19 before it. Webster got 7 or 8 for his bump.

    Sam Powell Pepper got 4 earlier in the year and his wasn’t as bad as this one.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
