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

    Is it really 24 to 7 frees?

    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.

    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?

    • 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 forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — 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 Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’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 isn’t a standard concept—it’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.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’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  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
