Slightly different as Chandler takes him part side on and slams him into the turf. Curtis is completely from behind. Very hard for Curtis to change anything when the player immediately falls to his knees propelling them both forward.

But I think that works in Chins favour. He lets him go and doesn’t drive him into the ground. Whereas Curtis technique didn’t allow for him to take any mitigating action so I’d argue he is more liable.

Favouritism. Clearly.

I do wonder if Maynard hadn't come along and bulged his forehead vein and created a drama, would it have been 3 weeks?

The theatre is the thing.

That Kozzie bump result was a disgrace Both players shaped to bump and Moore drops to his knees in the last second.

I f*ing hate Collingwood

Crow’s full back reported for light kick to Finlayson.

No injury.

Crows play the Pies next week.

Hmmm!

I get your conspiracy theory but he won’t get suspended for that.

A silly match day report from the umpire considering they seldom make them anymore.

Was that Hawk player reported for tripping Kozzie. lol….!!!

It is a reportable offence. I’d be gobsmacked if he wasn’t T least fined for it.

Marshall and Hewitt both fined in Friday night’s game for tripping. The former for “attempting to trip”. I’m heading to AFL House if the Hawk’s player isn’t at least fined.

He's seemingly got away with it (again)

The AFL would admit that the umpire missed the call, if he gets a tripping report. The AFL would rather make 2 bad decisions, than admit an error and accept accountability.

They are too busy telling us how good the umpiring is.

No way Hardwick gets any sanction - he plays for one of the chosen 5 teams this year - the others being Gold Coast, Essendon, Collingwood and Geelong. Brisbane the other team that will finish top 6 but most likely won't need umpires assistance.

At the moment, we are the Be Sharps after Barney goes all John and Yoko.


Merritt???

Thanks, and what else could I have expected? Duty of care covers accidents for certain players.

Brownlow Medalist decided....hmm

There was nothing in the Merrett incident if you have a proper look at it.

Regarding the Pickett unpaid blatant trip, the only surprise is that he wasn't penalised for kicking in danger.

The old saying "you should have been more careful" doesn't apply here, to prospective B Medalist.

Afl allegedly won’t be commenting on it

The club should

someone should be sent to a gulag in Siberia for that

Apparently there’s a matrix for some clubs and not others

Hardwick tripping??? Had to be fined $5000 for a deliberate trip. AFL must come clean. It was an umpiring mistake. Ok we have to accept the wrong decision. Note Marshall got a fine for attempting to trip. MRO is confusing !!

HQ chosen finalists all good. Other teams beware - except Carlton of course.

And given a three week suspension for staging.

No it's not. It is deliberately inconsistent.

Further evidence of corruption in my opinion. Read the MFC injury report on Xavier Lindsay post Brisbane game and weigh that up with the MRO’s ‘nothing to see here’. Watch the replay of the incident and you will note that the ball was a metre above where the swinging arm made contact with Lindsay’s head/neck!

wasn’t anywhere near a suspendible offence

Maybe not DubDee but should have been cited and a financial penalty, what if he has a late onset of concussion??

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
