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

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.

    • PREGAME: Geelong

      After a one-year reprieve, the Demons return down the freeway to Kardinia Park — the site of both one of our greatest triumphs and one of our darkest days — as they face the Cats under Friday night lights. This one could get ugly. Who comes in, and who comes out?
