Yeah, saw that. Stuck his leg out to kick/trip him as he was running past, then gave him a spray when he turned around to see who did it. He was copping it all game, getting the sort of questionable off-ball treatment usually reserved for Max. Given he was having no influence on the game, is not the sort of player who would be super damaging anyway and the treatment carried on all game regardless, it seemed to me like nothing more than a completely unnecessary attack, which served no purpose other than to try and open old wounds. Bullying isn't the right word in a sports context, but that's what it looked like. All class those Lions. -

For all our track & Casey watchers, how has he actually been going? I saw him play live in each of our practise matches, but he looked more like he was finding he feet in those games rather than banging down the door for selection. Any insight appreciated.

I hope the tribunal pay more attention to the actual vision, which shows both players heading in the same (not opposite) direction and towards the ball. If you hadn't seen the incident and were just looking at the still pictures above (like most of the 'expert' armchair commentators out there), it looks like Kossie is jumping into Soligo and putting his elbow right though his head, which didnt happen.

I'm not the guy in the pic but I was also at game in my Melbourne gear, cheering the Saints on. Collingwood fans are hilarious and I'm convinced half have no idea what they are watching. Also particularly enjoyed when they went the early crow not once but twice with their stupid chant, only for half on them to be on their way out the door a few Saints goals later. Re Higgins' goal... looks in to me! 😎

Sorry it's already been said. I'm too grumpy to go through a thread that will no doubt make me grumpier. Unrelated to the game itself, but I am calling absolute shenanigans on the 40,000 crowd figure. The place holds 48,000 when full and it was clear on the TV for the entirety of the game that there were empty blue seats everywhere. As a comparison, the Buddy 1,000 goals game only had 36,000 and that night it looked packed. Are the powers that be so desperate for this opening round "northern states invasion" [censored] to be seen as a success that they'd artificially bump the crowd number?

Devils & Demons. Has to be a Good Friday game, surely? 😉
