I like it.

As long as itโ€™s not high, why should fending off with foot be different from fending by arm..?

Adds a new dimension and skill to the game... bring it on!ย 

Well next time an opposing ruckman goes into Max at the bounce with studs outย  ............??

RUCKMEN ARE PENALISED FOR MAKING EXCESSIVE CONTACT (

yeah, and to make it even tougher, why not a spot of eye-gouging, or since that is contact above the shoulders, how about twisting the oppo's balls.ย  ย .

Well it was ok for Prancer on Friday night, and I'm pretty sure he had a crack at Dangerfields gear a few weeks ago as well.

But that's ok, because, ask Brooce, he's a champion...

if he tries to fend off a player by raising his leg, the player should fend of his foot by raising it above his head to protect himself. Then see how well green lands after that.

I would be seeking clarification from the AFL. ย If he uses the leg, can you attack it? ย When is it a kick, and when is it a fend? ย If you grab it, is it a tripping offence? ย Can we now use this in ruck contests as well as marking contests?

I see it as a weak dog act. ย Should be outlawed when the foot is intentionally raised to make contact with the opponent. ย Should use his body or his footy smarts, not be Mr Miagi.

It's not just the foot being raised he's actually kicking out, he got the Sydney player right in the guts. I don't know what the umpire was thinking here.

The Dalhaus one was even worse as that wasn't even a marking contest,ย it should never have escaped suspension...but typical AFL making a rod for their own back.

A dirty coward whos afraid to take contact, hence sticking the leg out.

Now I want to play them in the Grand Final so Jack Viney can sort him out.

He's not using the kick to protect himself, he's using it to guard space.

He's actually kicking out at an opponent and that's kicking in danger.

No need for a rule change.

Could also be seen as a kicking report if he makes contact, and he does.

Knee up for protection yes, foot up questionable but kicking out most definitely not.

I don't think it falls under kicking in danger because I believe that rule specifically refers to "attempting to kick a ball in a dangerous manner".

But there are already rules around kicking and rough play that are appropriate.ย 

I hope he cops a week. GWS can't win without him, he is their most important player. Hate his guts.

Get rid of him, and in the process get rid of this soulless garbage franchise of a club. Don't deserve success.ย

Now correct me if I am wrong Jaded but I am getting the impression you don't like GWS.

Given that they wonโ€™t have the guts to make a stand whilst their love child GW$ is still in the finals, they must make a stand inย the off season.

Hell, they are so bloody keen on making absurd rule changes - goal rectangle and 666 for starters - how about making it very clear that the foot is for contacting the ball and nothing else. ย 

โ€œFending offโ€ with the foot -> mandatory suspension, yes, even for members of franchise clubs.

What happens when this *&*&^$ knocks some out and they have concussion?ย

Ok the ground rules have been set. Its a free for all.

Break his leg and he might change his tactics

I hope this has been properly discussed at the back of house.ย 

I can understand this approach,ย in that reporting and suspending such acts are subject to a whole bunch of grading issues and will result in real variations between what is allowed and what isn't allowed, resulting in inconsistent outcomes for similar acts.ย 

But if umpires are told "pay a free kick any time this happens", it'll stop pretty quickly. Particularly if GWS is told the will be a crack down this week.

WOW that is one big bag of complete BS - not sure what the MRC are thinking really

How he can get away with deliberately sticking his boots into someone attacking the ball is beyond belief

Karma hopefully will prevail and he does his ACL next attemptย ย 

The AFL would love nothing more than for GWS to win a flag, so they can turn around and say "see expansion clubs are great". It will help them save face given where Gold Coast are at.ย

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
