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.

salacious...


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.

Mate I was just passing on information that I was told as it was a topic of conversation. 

Trust me it will be the last time I pass anything on to the know it all on here.

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.

Off to the Pies I think

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

 

Who cares wherw S May goes

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

    Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
