Shocking deliberate against the Giants

I’m still laughing my head off, came off the outside of his shin for crying out loud. A minute later Shiel’s kick was more deliberate and nothing.

If you choose to soccer it off the ground then pay the price if it goes wayward. Why should umpire have to guess the intention of the player.

Nah mate, that decision was horrific, I don’t know why you wouldn’t agree.

Because the rule is quite literally 'deliberate out of bounds'. It has to be the intention of the player to get the ball out of bounds.

Too often a miskick is adjudged deliberate.

"it was horrific' isn't reasoning. Here's my expansion. Umpire cannot see the face of the player to guess if he deliberately kicked it to the boundary or not, all he can see is a player hacked it towards the boundary. Why do we want the umpire to have to look if it was an accident? Do you want him to ask the player? It's different to a long bomb that BOUNCES to the left away from its original path.

It scraped off the side of his shin, if he isn’t sure and can’t see it (which was the case obviously) then he can’t and shouldn’t adjudicate deliberate. It was a terrible decision.

Maybe it's just me and what I want to see. I don't want to see unskillful hacks rewarded with the benefit of the doubt. Player made a choice to not pick it up, should wear the consequences of where it goes.

All good mate. I can understand your theory if he’d flushed it and it went out, but it just came off the side of his shin, not even at an angle consistent with the direction he intended. Also, not sure there’s anything in the rules about hacks and soccer kicks? Tigers have this as part of their game plan. Anyway, good discussion, let’s hope GWS get bruised and battered here ?

It being a slow saturday and not wanting to have too much football on my mind, I went and saw a daft movie.

As I was going in I had a little chuckle and a raised eyebrow of hope at the quarter time scores with Freo ahead of Geelong.

By the time I came out, Freo had done about as well as the "charming bromancey nerd trope" minor characters did against the megashark.

There are moments you should just look away.

So don’t rate the movie? Was going to watch it tomorrow

It delivers what it promises and has a fun time doing it. I'm not regretting seeing it even though 'fright' movies aren't my usual thing.

Most importantly, it definitely worked for holding my attention and keeping my mind off footy!

Maybe the Freo players were watching it too? Their minds definitely weren't on football for the same period.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
