I dont think anyone thinks the slater tackle is malicous , but under the letter of the law he may find himself in trouble ,
here in AFL land melbourne , locals are scratching their heads saying ,
are you kidding , he may miss a GF for that , isnt Rugby ( both codes are rugby here ) supposed to be a tough mans game .
That is classed as a fair bump in AFL .
Pies have been more the surprise story this season than the Demons IMO , no one picked then to make the 8 , people predicting them to struggle and Buckley to be under the pump again,
Demons have had shit slung their way for some time for being the under achievers with that list , and probably finally achieved what they should .

Slater is also 35.
yeah his body is cooked , plays injured a lot more than people know about
@chchfanatic has had a lot of injuries the last few years , and wants to put more time into his other passion , racehorses
Another grand final appearance for Melb , 3 in a row , hasn’t been easy this year either with losing Cronk and injuries , awesome effort
Collingwood too good , they were quick and slick and we were off the pace .
Apart from that game , still been an enjoyable season though ,
If someone offered a premiership and a top 4 finish in consecutive seasons you would take that , sure beats finishing outside the 8 or at the bottom of the ladder .
I tossed up between the Storm or the tigers , looks like I went to the wrong game .
Im going tonight , should be nice and feral , nothing like it for atmosphere , spewing its the same time as the storm game though , nice work NRL.
The first time they have played in a final since this game , which ironically was the first game of AFL/VFL I ever watched while in Aus on holiday as a young fella , visting family in Melbourne . And became a supporter that day .
@booboo being a crows man , you would hate him ,
Was their worst nightmare last September, best on ground in that game I won’t mention 
big news doing the rounds in melbourne , Dusty has not trained since the Hawks game ,
if he doesnt play , that would be an enormous boost for Collingwood .
I'm in a bar in Hua Hin, eye movement range of ago and wallabies, my team's are both holding slender leads, 3 mins to go each and a week to think about the ALL Blacks,
