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

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.
