What are the sanctions, if any, the AFL can impose if clubs don't satisfy reporting requirements?

I don't gamble, and I don't know what Supercoach even is, but I'm still glad the AFL saw fit for the clubs to be honest with their supporters. The report terminology is simple - concussion, knee, ankle etc - and no detail is given beyond those terms. I don't see these classifications as being...

What does the result say about the Hawks and Dogs??

They're going to at least demand a haircut I reckon.

If so, why do it against Melbourne specifically? That would imply he sees them as one of the most dangerous threats come finals. Are they? He did appear passive, and I wonder if it was done deliberately to assess the players somehow, or is that short-changing Melbourne?? Maybe it was nothing...

Zuthrie saves Jez and Hawkins from their mess.....

Duncan butchers it again, but saved by Hawkins, and then massacred by Jez.
