COLLINGWOOD forward Lachie Schultz has copped a one-match ban for a strike late in Friday night's win over Carlton, while defender Brayden Maynard has escaped suspension for his dangerous tackle on Matt Owies.

Schultz lashed out at Carlton's Blake Acres off the ball late in the final term, striking him high in the back of the neck/head area and giving away a free kick.

Is this a “grade it intentional” so they can’t use the Hogan defence?

Intentional, high contact, low impact. No need to use the “likely to cause serious injury” clause to up grade it to 1 match if it’s deemed intentional.

lol, I played a season at Fitzroy once and we won one game. I take it the club has improved a tad since then.

They have good years and bad. I think the B’s played in the grand final last year and the A’s won it a couple of years ago.

Like all local football clubs, good management means you get results

Such a sad state of affairs for a proud football club. I believe Elizabeth was John Platten’s local club.

It ended 82-24-516 to no score.

The guy doing the scoreboard was so friggin exhausted he left his bag.

Gee, if they kicked straight, it could of been a thumping...

The goal umpire at Elizabeth’s end in the 4th spent the whole quarter sitting in his car behind the goals.

Must have stopped off at The Red Lion hotel for there weekly supplies.

No smiles from Kingsley after the loss. Looked like he was ready to punch a hole in a brick wall.

Played for Eastern Park in the local competition.

Do not ever remember beating Elizabeth in that time. They were once a very strong club.

Elizabeth have lost all their games so far by 250+

Sydney are pretty good, best of the non Vic sides.
Very even side all over and good foot skills.
They do the basics well, if you can do that your always half a chance.

Eastern park? Did they have a rugby team also ?
I’m going back 30 years.

Sounds like someone needs a visit from The Woohoo Co.

Brown looks like he’s going to have a long holiday.
Looks 1970s stuff on the replay.

I have watched this about 20 times.

There was always going to be a collision. Players come in at 90 degrees to each other and only 1 step difference to getting to the ball by Brown behind McCartin.

Brown had a reflex action, braced and bumped McCartin in body and head, and cut his face. He will get weeks, maybe 4, but I want the AFL to admit to the footy world either via the MRO or one of its dopey KC's, that you are allowed to protect yourself.

Admit that players have a duty of care to themselves as much as to the other player.

I only watched it once, looked like an elbow to the head but that’s just a first impression.

Not that I remember.

That's my first impression but I saw the full replay that showed the 2 angles and i freeze framed it to see how close the players were to each other when McCartin first touched the ball. It was a classic collision situation.

I'm not sure that Brown could have stuck his arms out to do a tackle. He probably would have hit McCartin in the head with his arms anyway.

No, Hogan was graded intentional. He got off because they said it was negligible impact, and this not a reportable offence.

They successfully managed to argue that you can't be suspended for throwing a punch and missing under the current guidelines.

Which just shows how much of a joke the AFL is.

Hit him in the head with his shoulder and had braced for contact. Will get weeks.

No quiet as big a margin, but Port Elliot managed a point late in the last quarter today in the Great Southern League.

What's the AFL record for inside 50s for 0.0.0 return. I think we will give that record a shake next week against the Cats and their defensive marking.

Around 5, remember no Good guy discount.

Went Melbourne tonight don’t know why, maybe Geelong have to lose one soon plus Melbourne are ok defensively.

[Powertron]

What’s all this leading up to the ball carrier by the forwards and mids kicking to the forwards advantage in this game?

The contrast next week is going to be stark but don’t worry, Kenny’s style is tried and tested!
