If Garlett - free kick to defender.

    I tend to agree. It was a great goal, but he certainly threw it up in the air before connecting with the ball. 

    Tom McDonald 'threw' the ball in the air before kicking the winning goal against West Coast last year...

    It seem that the laws of the game don't define the correct way for the ball to go from hand to foot, so it's a goal for mine.  As long as it goes from hand to foot, it's a kick.

    For a kick you can throw the ball int he air to kick, but if you don't make contact its a free against. But not a good way to have a good kick.

    It’s why having kick-to-kick with a six year old is a very frustrating experience.

    There are 3 people at the Norf game I would like to put through a mulcher- Brad Scott, Matthew Nichols and Dermott Brererton.

    Brereton is so hard to listen to. Loves telling us what a player would be thinking.

    I’ve never known anyone to like the sound of his own voice more. He is basically just a narcissistic thug.

    Don’t we want Eagles to win? This keeps Norf in the hunt for the 8. The more teams we can knock out of the pack the better.

    Everytime I look at the ladder it is an amazing logjam from 3 to 11.

    So many permutations are possible.

    Anyone done the analysis on intra 3-11 games (8 point games) .. we have 3 of them.

    Collingwood have two.

    Yep, we're not going to catch West Coast and if North lose this, they pretty much can't make it. We want West Coast comfortable when we play them, so we can catch them off guard.

    An Eagles win is better for mine.

    No!!!  We don't want West Coast finishing 2nd and hosting two home finals.   We need to win to play in finals, irrespective of who gets the last spot in the 8.   And if we can't win two more games, we shouldn't and won't be there.

    The Russian people made it a great tournament WWS.

    Won't forget  South Korea beating Germany and France beating Argentina. Lucky to see both live along with three other matches including the Aussies going down to France.

    God help us if they ever allow vuvuzelas at the AFL. Not to mention Colombian football fans (don't think any of them know how to sit down and watch a game.)

    Could highly recommend Russia as a tourist venue. Extremely good value by comparison to Western Europe

    It's a real catch 22. If WC lose this,  they have a derby coming up next week which can always be an arm wrestle they could lose. Which potentially means if we win our games then beat WC,  we will be on same points as them with a superior percentage. 

    Pipe dream but who knows the way this season is panning out

    Really thats interesting. Im off to WE soon, wouldnt mind going to Russia and Ukraine. Wasnt safe last time, lot of unrest in 2014.

    Looked like there were a few spare seats at a lot of matches, even the final.

    Well you were very lucky to be able to experience that. Well done.

    The spare seats you were seeing were the ones allocated to the friends of FIFA ( the various Football associations etc). I suspect in the past these were sold for big money and who knows who pocketed the profits. With the apparent corruption crackdown may be a lot of the associations didn't dare scalp the tickets.

    I can assure you every game was a pre game sell out.

    Moscow is a great city and I suspect St Petersburg is even better.

    It is relatively easy to fly from Dubai to all the Russian cities and then move westwards. Flydubai (the low cost carrier owned by Emirates is good value.)

    Feel free to PM me if you want some other travel tips about the area.

    PS:I went with my son and boy did he enjoy the party !!

    Yes it is. They could possibly win all remaining games against teams outside the 8.

    Bris (A), Bulldogs (H), Crows (A), St Kilda.

    An aside... Liverpool played Man U yesterday in a pre season friendly in Michigan.Crowd of 105k at a sold out stadium.

    Man U played the kids.

    Amazing what people will pay to see these teams play.

    Another aside... apparently Mexico plays more times in the USA than in Mexico itself because they make so much more money than when they play in Mexico

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
