The importance of the return of community football after July 20 cannot be over estimated but it also means that at that time the AFL quarantine rules also become redundant.

That will be in time for Round 8.

It also co-incides with the SA and Qld borders being opened. (I think)

Just out of curiosity, why is the average length of games in 2018 given and not 2019?

There's quite a disparity between the shortest and longest games. I assume the low scoring, particularly the low number of goals, is the main reason for our game and the Richmond/Collingwood game being so short.

2020 has longer gamebreaks between goals which tends to skew the numbers as well.

So Collinwood and Ricmond only played 94 minutes of game time.?   What the.!

Someone invoked a mercy rule. Lowest scoring game in over 20 years.

HaHa,  they should have done that at the 15 minute mark,  so we can't see them.

But seriously, how can two teams play so much less game time;  the following week they are both at an advantage.

so 87% of normal. i.e. 13% less time

interesting because nominally you'd expect 16:20 to be 25% less

part of reason would be extra dead time after each goal for tv ads

Seriously think the AFL should increase the game time back to what it was.  I actually think shorter games has hurt us more than a lot of sides with the additional fittness we built over the preseason.  In the preseason games we really started to get on top in second halves as our enhanced fitness kicked in.

Have heard arguments that the integrity of the game / season would be damaged if the change was made after the first two Rds had already been played.  However, that integrity was already damaged when the switch to shorter games was made in the first place.

The fact our match was a full 21 minutes shorter than last year's average is all the more concerning. By last year's timing, we built up a 42 point lead by the end of the 1st, and lost it by the start of the 4th. Carlton may well have won by 5-6 goals on Sunday if we were playing full quarters. A 70 point turnaround.

The one thing I would point out is that we were absolutely murdering Carlton in the first quarter, if that had been full length I honestly feel like we would've been 10 goals in front. Quarter time was a massive blessing to them as it gave Teague a chance to talk with them to restructure and restart. 

Impossible to know how they would've reacted to being that far behind at that stage.

Fair comment perhaps from European fans....

We have significant concerns regarding attempts by broadcasters to replace or imitate the unique atmosphere produced by fans. Augmented reality technology, pre-recorded chants, and other forms of artificial support represent a rebuke to match-going fans. The absence of fans cannot be compensated for by a computer simulation aimed at the amusement of television audiences.

an alliance of fans from 16 countries around Europe from launching a campaign against fake crowd noise.

On a stranger note the English  League 2 have embraced not only the cardboard cut out concept but have encouraged fakes. Trump and Boris will be in attendance !!

Victorian Premier just announced a tightening of restrictions

Not good but community sport to continue (only non contact)

Details still coming out

How the hell was he allowed to go to Ireland

 

The game may be played Wednesday if all other Essendon players test clear, otherwise I can see the season progressing

  • 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.

    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

    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.

    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.
