    Tiggy touch free out of the middle...some things never change

    Is it really 24 to 7 frees?

  • Quote

    24-7 free kicks pies way. If the pies were thrashing them it makes sense but they aren't.  Its been close all day so it shouldn't be that big of a difference

    Umpiring changes the course of a match....again!

    2 frees to the Blues near the square not paid and one in the middle.  All resulted in goals.

    These 50m and 100m penalties are getting ridiculous.  The new rule is absurd.  You get an enormous advantage from a 50m penalty so I don't see what is wrong with the oppos having time to set up in defence.    And no one knows where the 100m ends, so if the player runs faster than the ump, where is the mark?   Why not just play on through where the mark might be since no one dare impedes you since they don't know where the mark is going to be.  

    The game worked fine without this change.  Just another ploy for more goals and more ads. 

    I can't see what is wrong with completely stopping play until the position of the mark is set by the umpire.  The 50m penalty is so big and often for totally inconsequential breaches of the ill-defined protected zone.

    Geez, wouldn’t you love Carlton to knock off the Filth

    atmo, I want pick 1 in the Mid-Season draft.

    Technical stuff dreamed up by Gill and Shocking who of course will never dream of admitting it contributes zero positive to the game.

    There is nothing in the rules about protected zone except when actually taking your kick. It's not defined when moving to the next mark. AFL strikes again with another "interpretation" of something not even in the rules.

     

    Like with the Rampe goal post shake. Can argue whether it was intentional. Probably the correct ruling though. But there is no rule about climbing on the goal post.

     

    TL;DR: the rules are poorly written

    That's exactly what happened with the next 50 to the Pies.

    I guess it is difficult to climb the post without shaking it - well at least enough for Gil's laser ranger system to detect the movement.

    Why couldn't 7 be showing the showdown. It would be more interesting than Stkilda West Coast. 

    Good question

    we have often had low key Melbourne games and missed the showdowns. Not sure if Channel 7 understand the modern football fan.

    Or is it the AFL dictating this aspect?

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
