    Feel for Rowell. Shoulders can be a frustrating heal sometimes. I don't feel for GC though. The AFL's baby. F em.

    Appears to be a new rule. 
    Players taking a kick outside the boundary line, aren’t being made to bring the ball in over the mark, but rather are being allowed to continue on outside the line . Should be thrown in, as soon as they play on or kick it outside the line.

    Move sideways off the line and its play on.  If the ball is fully over the boundary line, it must be out of bounds.?  

    And as you say,  should then be the umpires ball to throw in.

    Gold Coast doing a better job at the moment at countering Geelong’s movement of the football than we did last week. 

    That wouldn’t be hard Whisp. Most teams can counter it except us.

    Even the coach said we didn’t know how to get the ball back. That says a lot.

    Be interesting to see how we get outcoached this week. So many options.

    If you’re taking a kick outside the boundary line, you can play on, or switch the kick. You don’t have to kick the ball directly over the mark. Is that what you mean?

    But if you do play on outside the boundary line and Then hesitate while being outside the boundary line, then it should be thrown in. If you play and commit to it, without hesitation then it’s play on.

    We had King right in front of our door step.

    Questions need to be asked who the [censored] ticked off in trading it away for May.

    This is the job of the recruiting staff and list management team. Messed it up, there's no way around it.

    we lost a forward; we should have been drafting a forward

    hindsight is 20/20 but goddamn....

    A part of me wants to be at ease that Luke Jackson can be our Ben King..

    GC skills dropped off half way through 3 quarter.

    What, you can run outside the boundary line, past the mark and keep running there, out of play  until you kick it in and that is ok. I don’t think so.

    To be fair, after the 2018 finals we probably thought Weideman was the next King brother. 

    There’s not much fairness hereabouts.  But I see the GC who have passed us according to the doomsayers don’t seem to be losing to Cats by just a few points.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
