I'm an Ed fan but it's going to be interesting watching him get off this one.

King was blaming LDU for going low in the tackle.

I thought you were supposed to go low & tackle around the waste.

The fend off came as he was already going low & Ed saw it, just banged the elbow into his head.

For mine that's a minimum 3 weeks.

It's the whole "Petty had poor technique" BS.

and the commentary wags the MRO dog again.

    What was interesting was the commentators tried to avoid discussing the incident. No “he could be in trouble” or “the hit will be looked at” comments as we usually hear. They were trying to paint the hit as nothing to worry about. Will be interesting to see if this becomes another Cripps or Maynard ending.

    North pioneered Friday night footy. They should have had the game on a Friday night to celebrate 100 years. Thursday is a TV show event and not for the stadium crowds!!( Unless it’s a Crows or Pies home game of course).

    Pies with some real ordinary disposal so far, but we’ve been told they’re all elite.

    Yep, but they will win even when not on top of their game.

    Yes they do, they’re well drilled and have good systems and a level of understanding amongst the players.

    Why the hell are the cameras focusing so much on the father of one (two) players for their reaction, constantly?

    WHO CARES???? Most people watching don’t give a toss - time our broadcasters grow up and move on.

    They always play to advantage. If it be taps to players when they can’t win the ball, kicks in front of a player to run onto the ball.

    They have a symmetry all other teams do not have. Their vision and understanding of the game and their system is incredibly impressive

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
