after seeing 3 incidents this week involving high contact, ( johnson, roe, and unknown) , i was wondering if the afl should impose a send off rule for nasty incidents as this , like they did after winmars brain snap a few years back

    I would prefer a 5-10 min send off rule (without replacement) as well as a report, especially in Grand Finals.

    No, they get enough wrong without sending off someone who might not have deserved it.

    I know the ben johnson case is easy to judge in the heat of battle but there will be other cases where the ump makes a bad decision and it affects the game.

    If we're not going to have a rule because the umpires will get it wrong then we should just abolish all of the rules, so they'll never make a mistake again. :rolleyes:

    If they make it a 17v18 contest for a given amount of time then clubs won't do it because it will give their opposition a huge advantage.

    You have to be kidding, lets get all the players to wear dresses and play the game.

    one of the main reasons i like afl is because there is no send offs. When i tell people that there are no send offs they are suprised

    Spot on, that was exactly what I thought when I first read this idea. This is just one more thing an umpire can bugger up in the heat of the moment IMO.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      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.
