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.

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

Umpires must have a sneaky punt on cats. They call things differently depending on the colours of the jumper.

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..

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
