One Sun and two Hawks both offered one-game restrictions
Greg Dundas
In the AFL meet review official results from Saturday’s three-point drama at Marvel Stadium, two of Hawthorn’s top players received punishments, and Port Adelaide’s Zak Butters copped yet another slap in the hippocket.
The two Hawks received one-game restrictions for striking Port’s Logan Evans in the second quarter, respectively, for pilot James Sicily and create goalsneak Dylan Moore.
If they choose never to issue those restrictions at a court hear, they will lose the Hawks round-seven fight with Gold Coast.
Butters, the acting captain of Port, was given a$ 1,000 fine for striking Sam Butler for the same match. He now faces a split appeal hearing on Monday because of a$ 1500 fine the AFL imposed on him a year prior.
The team’s court last month found Butters innocent of directing harsh and insulting speech at umpire Nick Foot in Port’s Gather Round lost to St Kilda.
Joshua Lai, Butters ‘ teammate, received a$ 1,000 fine for making careless contact with an umpire in the Saturday game, as well as two penalties for the game between Gold Coast and Essendon.
Sicily was reportedly struck in the belly later in the second quarter while tangling with Evans off the game. The irresponsible work resulted in Evans getting a chance at purpose after the alarm. The MRO determined that the interaction was minor and purposeful.
Evans also received a free kick from Moore earlier in the quarter with an action on his group’s 50-meter range that the MRO rated the same.
After the MRO discovered that defender John Noble had acted violently against Bomber Thomas Edwards in the third quarter, the Suns are facing the possibility of luring him out. Noble was found to have hit Edwards high, recklessly at moderate email.
As they battled for a game near the Suns half-forward column, he raised his arms and collected the Bomber, Edwards rubbing his nose behind his ears as he finished the game. Youk Miller, a former captain, received a$ 1,000 fine for making careless contact with an umpire the same game.
Foreign connection to Tasmania AFL venue build bet
Wilson, Nick
A company of a Chinese government-owned company is preparing to submit a charge for a$ 1.13 billion stadium development deal.
The Australian government has selected Constructure Joint Venture and BESIX Watpac to join in the delicate operation to create Hobart’s Macquarie Point Multipurpose Stadium.
The Tasmania Devils AFL team will reside at the controversial 23, 000-seat stucco shore place, which was approved by express parliament in December.
Both organizations passed the initial stage of the expression-of-interest process and will now enter the tender process’s primary stages.
Constructure comprises numerous companies, including China Construction Oceania, a company of family business China State Construction Engineering Corporation.
Headquartered in Beijing, the firm is among the world’s largest design firms with more than 360, 000 people, according to its site.
Important partners include the European company Webuild S. p. A. and the newly established New Zealand company McConnell Dowell.
When questioned about the possibility of the Chinese govt being involved, Macquarie Point Urban Renewal Minister Eric Abetz declined to respond.
” It’s, if you like, a joint venture between three different national companies”, he told reporters on Sunday.
” We look forward to the charge and making progress.”
According to Macquarie Point Development Corporation CEO Anne Beach, the majority of the top tier development companies in Australia are owned by foreigners.
” It gives us the benefit of a balance sheet, the power, the threat management and the expertise”, Ms Beach said.
Webuild is the leader in that joint venture, and we are confident that they have demonstrated their ability to give on this venture.
By the end of 2026, the Australian government hopes to have a contract awarded for the club’s design. It was lately revealed the location would not be available until 2031- Tasmania’s next period in the AFL and AFLW.

North defeat Tigers, showmanship, and display
Cam Zurhaar has shone in a new position across fullback as North Melbourne franked their best stop to an AFL time in a century with a 75-point beating of injury-hit lower edge Richmond.
The Kangaroos recorded their biggest winning margin under Alastair Clarkson in the 20.10 ( 130 ) to 7.13 ( 55 ) victory at Marvel Stadium on Sunday, with Paul Curtis scoring a career-high six goals.
It gives them a 4-2 record and their most impressive comeback in six games since their most recent finals appearance, which was in 2016.
The Tigers are 0-6 in their worst start since 2010 and have lost Tim Taranto ( concussion ), Sam Banks ( dislocated shoulder ), and Maurice Rioli Jr ( hamstring ).
It could have been a different story, with the woefully inaccurate Tigers trailing by 39 points at the main break despite having more scoring shots to that point.
There isn’t a hell of a lot of mercy in this game; you just have to do what you have to do to win footy games,” Clarkson said.
” We were a little bit lucky that the Tigers were injured, but we still needed to go out and give it our best effort.”
Young star Harry Sheezel tallied 39 disposals, seven clearances and one goal in an influential display for North, with Luke Davies-Uniacke ( 26 possesions ), Colby McKercher ( 26 ) and George Wardlaw ( 25 ) also important.
The explosive Zurhaar, which is typically a threat in an attack, was redeployed behind the ball and gained a game-high 644 yards.
As Curtis, Cooper Trembath, Nick Larkey, and Zane Duursma kicked multiple majors, North had plenty of options in the front half.
Young gun Sam Lalor had 22 disposals and one goal for Richmond, while Seth Campbell and Jack Ross ( 26 touches ) added two majors each.
After Banks was hurt in a sluggish Davies-Uniacke tackle in the opening minutes, Curtis scored three first-quarter goals to give North the lead early on.
The Tigers created plenty of scoring chances but repeatedly let themselves down by poor finishing, including Rioli, before half-time.
Richmond paid a price as the Kangaroos piled on eight consecutive goals and blew the lead out to 47 points before the main break.
Taranto left the field very early in the third term, and North slammed him as Trembath, who was blanketed by Noah Balta in the opening half, worked his way into the contest.
In the final term, Tom Powell’s spectacular goal off the deck was met by a powerful run by the Kangaroos, who won every quarter and scored the final three majors.
Young gun Sam Lalor stepped up for Richmond in the absence of Taranto and rested star Jacob Hopper, tallying 22 disposals and one goal.
Seth Campbell and Jack Ross each added two majors, but the undermanned Tigers were unable to hold back after blowing too many scoring chances early in the contest.
Adem Yze, a coach for Richmond, said,” When it starts ticking over, you could feel the pressure was building on whoever was taking the next shot.”
” At halftime it’s 2.12 to 10.3 and they were making everything count, and we weren’t, and it can start to affect the morale of the group.
The hardest part of telling the story when the scoreboard tells you something different, especially when it’s a young group, is when you paint the picture at halftime and (you are winning ) all the main KPIs that you want to be in front of.

Hi-five for Amiss as Dockers crush West Coast
Justin Chadwick
With a 56-point win over West Coast in Perth, Fremantle continued their dominance in the western derby with a career-high five goals scored by Jye Amiss.
The Eagles took a surprise lead early in the second quarter of Sunday’s match, but Fremantle steadied to seal the 14.13 (97 ) to 5.11 ( 41 ) win in front of 54, 232 fans.
Fremantle won its ninth game out of the previous ten derbies, but West Coast still leads the overall tally 33-29.
With a 5-1 record, the Dockers moved into second place on the ladder, just behind Sydney in terms of percentage. With their fifth win in a row, they are now 5-1.
Jordan Clark, an all-Australian defender, was awarded the Glendinning-Allan medal as best afield for his 27 disposals, one goal, 622m gained, and 11 score involvements.
Murphy Reid ( 26 disposals, 10 score involvements ) and Luke Jackson ( 29 hitouts, 16 disposals, one goals ) also played important roles.
Amiss had already kicked four goals on nine different occasions, but he finally broke that record with a 50-yard set shot just before the end of the third quarter.
The 22-year-old finished the course record with nine marks inside 50 meters, surpassing Matthew Pavlich’s eighteenth.
Amiss also notched 13 disposals, one goal assist and 5.4 as West Coast struggled to cover all bases in a tall Fremantle forward line containing Amiss, Patrick Voss ( three goals ), Josh Treacy and Jackson.
