Round 7 Essendon v Nth Ballarat @ Windy Hill, 12pm Saturday 3 June 2017

And reported in the final few minutes

Probably close at this stage. McKernan is nearly 27 and wonā€™t get much better if at all whereas Stewie is only 23 and has plenty of upside IMO. First year at a new club and setup, hopefully he keeps improving

How did Mutch go?
Stats looked ok but were they cheapies or a lot of in and under stuff?

Did those at the game see the incident? If so, is he likely to go?

Does that mean he was injured or just exhausted and needed a break from playing?

Think he made the trip to Sydney as an emergency.

Iā€™d say it may have been an options thing.
We probably just went with A and B.

*getting coat now

I didnā€™t see the incident but saw the umpire take his number and Aaron looking a bit perplexed

Anyone know the outcome of the report. Havenā€™t heard anything being interstate.

Franga thread says the report was thrown out on Monday.

OK thanks for that @theDJR

Hmmm. Was Francis actually reported, and either way LOL at the below being missedā€¦
