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.

    5 weeks for Houston.

    0 weeks for Maynard.

    I see what they did there.

    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 PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
