I disagree

It's not end of story, the head and neck are completely different in the context of this incident. Pushing down on someones face is completely different to pushing down on their neck, neither of which has the potential to cause concussion I might add.

Actually he was one of our best last week

No, I wouldn't care and I think it's a bit hysterical to compare genuine knocks to the head with someone pushing down on someones face with their forearm.

Dangerous? Please I'm sure the guy was so traumatised he went straight off the ground and into the rooms for medical assessment

This league is a joke, the AFL should compensate us for wasting our time with this rubbish

I see you're new to Demonland

If Buddy gets off for elbowing a guy in the head surely this is a fine at worst

Why would the govt care whether we're in pokies or not? The machines still exist, the govt still gets their tax money from their operation. Why would they care who runs them? Is it so they can feed more pokies machines into the hands of their donors?

Bigger oval as in MCG size or Docklands size?

That's exactly how you play bottom of the ladder sides. Keep the frenetic pressure up early and put some space between you before half time so they just drop their heads and you can cruise for the last quarter and a half. If they go into half time thinking they're a chance they will fight it out in the second half. Hopefully we've learnt and do the same to the Crows in 2 weeks.

Great way to spend a relaxing Sunday arvo with a couple of beers on the couch, McKeon wins another gold and they Demons absolutely putting their foot down on an opponent. Bowey has been solid on debut Finish it off now Demons.

From where? Perth? We're gonna be stuffed, travelling from Melb-Bris-Perth-Melb in 1 day!

We might as well treat the next month as a preseason for finals. Doesn't matter where we finish, just get the squad through and prepare for a 4 week run in September.

Or just bring WCE to Melbourne next week as well

EXACTLY!!!! Seriously amateur hour, this is ridiculous ?

The Clarko Curse has a nice ring to it Let's win the flag this year and hand the baton over to them

Nice work mate, hopefully that alleviates some stress on here. I was getting pretty angry about the thought...

I will be furious if the club decides to play this game in NT especially if crowds are allowed to the game (even if capped at 20k). An absolute slap in the face to the members who have been stuck watching games on TV for the last 2 years.

[censored] this

Any chance we find out where we're playing before the weekend??

Hopefully he can do something about it the next time we play then because his ruck craft has been terrible.

Port supporters on BF have been saying since earlier in the year "wait for the late season Burgess drop off". Will be interesting to see if we rebound for finals. If we don't is it because of our training/conditioning or because our young players are out on their feet (or both)?

And for all that we were within 4 points with less than 10 minutes to go. A 2 goal game where they kocked one out of their [censored] (English) gifted another that wasn't there (Hannan) and a we let a few through our fingers (Fritsch on the goal line, Brown x2, Viney and Kozzie early, Kozzie missing Tmac on his own, the ball not sitting up for TMac with fritsch free running into goal etc etc) Yeah we lost, not saying we deserved to win but the over reaction on here is ridiculous. It was a 50/50 game where they took a couple of chances and we missed a couple of ours. Not like the game earlier in the year where we completely outplayed them. Looking forward to playing them in September, I'm confident we'll have their number.
