Richmond getting their premiership bonus - an extra 10-20% leeway in free kicks.  Get away with stuff, and get given lollies.

What u on the free kick count is 18 to Richmond 29 to north,

    Your guns??? They got wolliped by the bottom side. If we can tag dangerfield out of the game then I’m predicting we win by 10 goals. 

    The sheer entertainment of playing the bogey-man, Bernie Vince, on Dangerfield as a tagger, once again, is very hard to dismiss or ignore. A 'weekend with Bernie' has a wonderful ring to it and in practical terms, is effective, par excellence. Bernie is fit and just a fraction slower these days or so the training reports indicate. So why not? He seems to have got into Dangerfield's head leaving a lasting impression. Viney might be effective with that, too.

    That statistic is not often a valid measure. It is where and when the umpires award free kicks that is important - and ends up winning games. Umpires are very good these days at 'evening-up the game' or so it seems, yet in reality, it is a direct measure to affect the outcomes of a game. This happened to Melbourne for many years to their detriment. Melbourne, despite some excellent football, both attacking and defensive, were actually penalised by 'timely' free kicks awarded against them as they were not expected to win the game. So many opposition frees were given in front of their goal and scoring opportunities interrupted by poor/weak umpiring decisions so that a 'bottom' team did not annihilate a 'more popular' or 'heading to the top' team.

    When, and Where frees are awarded - and the 'non-dangerous' compensatory frees awarded 'outside a team's scoring zone' have been a classic AFL trick for years.

    Call made during the game, not after it was all done and dusted.  Several occasions the Tiggers got away with stuff, or got given softies, when it was there to be played for.  Is Dusty ever going to get pinged for a dont argue?

    early on, it was blatant.  Later, the Roos looked like they got the pity vote.  I just called it as I saw it.

    what was I on?  I think the couch.

    North have been absolute garbage this JLT. So far from competitive and and have a very uninspiring list. I expect them to lose to GC in round 1.

    Heaven help us if we lose to them in round 3.

    I would like to think that is an understatement.

    Funnily enough I have an old fashioned view on this.

    It's more important they get the decisions right rather than when, where or what the numbers are...

    Fully agree that is the main point to observe. Therefore, by deduction, it can be seen that for some reason, the umpires get it wrong so often for costly outcomes for innocent, attempting-to-conform-with-the-rules teams striving to play well.

    So back in December 2016, I produced an early version of the 2017 AFL Phantom Draft.

    My first two picks were -

    1. Charlie Spargo (Murray Bushrangers) GWS Academy

    2. Darcy Fogarty (Glenelg SA) 

    Both fell out of favour a little in 2017 (Spargo due to injury and Fogarty due to a slight loss of form) and missed out of top 10 selection. 

    Both are going to be top footballers. Spargo played well today for Casey while Fogarty has kicked three goals to half time in today’s JLT game v Port.

    I believe his best for us was four, which he only did a few times over his career in red and blue.

    So basically he did SFA for 9 years for us because he couldn’t be arsed. Great

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.
