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: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
