no. just tackled after ball is kicked is just fine for the rule

agreed may is different because this was a handball situation and wasn't a tackle. it was a bump and it was high

you also can't tackle a player after a handball, but you can block or bump within 5m any player whether he has just disposed of it or not. the exception being if the player is attempting to mark the ball

Ok so now you want the time to say "you can't block or bump after disposal unless the player is involved in the play"?

Isnt that what is says? "You can't make prohibited contact to a player after they dispose of the football."

 

I don't understand your confusion. This isn't a new rule!

    no you are not. he made up th 5 m rule, it doesn't exist for someone who has just kicked the ball

    hit someone late after disposing of the ball is a free kick every day, and based on lateness, not 5m

    now whether it is reportable is a different matter but got nothing to do with a mythical 5m

    Thx that's my understanding

    Hannebery to St Kilda lock it in Eddie. Just some water to go under a bridge before it happens. 

    He linked an article that not only doesn't mention us at all, but the first sentence says that the bloke is cooked. Not sure what he tried to achieve by posting it.

    No mention of Melbourne whatsoever. I've said this before, I'd be very surprised if we were chasing after a banged up 27 year whos only just going to get slower and has off field issues.. Goes against the morals our club is known for.

    We could always reanimate the corpse of Harry Taylor.

    I've said for 18 months now there's a spot in Geelong's forward line that would be perfect for Cam Pedersen and we could certainly do with Harry Taylor at full back for the rest of the year. Unfortunately mid season trading didn't get up.

    We could do much worse with Harry in rednblue, just like we have done with Lewy.

    But I doubt Harry would want a part time playing gig.

    Hannebery was human battering ram - got motoring equivalent of nearly million kms. 

    Worked well fed by Goodes with rest of hard nut midfield.

    Why would Hannebery leave Sydney for St Kilda? Far more likely to come to Melbourne if he were to leave Sydney. St Kilda makes no sense.

    I doubt we would want Hanners, great player however doesnt have the speed out outside spread we lack. 

    Gaff is the one we are after. 

    St Kilda will probably offer Hanners anything he wants just so someone will go there as they seem to miss out every year.

    Keep posting D11 not everyone is a harsh critic on what is posted. 

    I take all information shared with a grain of salt and if stuff happens then that’s good and if it doesn’t so be it.

    They are desperate for a quality mid so they'll probably take what they can get even its the best of a bad bunch.

    So back on Steven May, it would seem that Collingwood, having apparently missed out to Richmond over Tom Lynch (GCS), is making a big play for May.

    This would of course, be devastating for the Suns and it will be interesting to see how this is played out.

    For gods sake will this pillaging ever end. Hope he stays.

    The problem is that the Suns have two captains with one all but out of the door and the other being courted by one of the strong established AFL Clubs. This is not only going to be terribly destabilizing for the Suns internally but it’s also going to make it very hard for them to recruit players to the club.

    I wonder if Dewy would prefer to start afresh with new leadership...  who do not have half their heart out of there.

    I think May is gone.  Just a matter of to where.  And for an exchange of value that GCS can use to fast track them.

     

    The salary cap they recoup from these two, can be used to buy in some seriously good mature leader types.  Which has become the norm of the past 2 seasons.

     

    I would not be surprised to see Roughy go there, for just one.

    Since Frosty has taken the next step, this back-end of the season, I don't think we need May so much now.

    For GC sake I hope he stays, would be hard for their supporters to take if he does.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
