Nah, he's pointing at his direct opponent, who is less than 2 metres away, demonstrating that he's legally allowed where he is.

    Raises both arms, as if he's trying to block Kent from kicking. Which led me to panic, even if he was able to follow Steele.

    Great, another thing that could have potentially broken our hearts! Turf the protected zone.

    Lol, it really is amazing how quick our brains switch into MFCSS mode in the dying seconds of a close game with us in front. Must admit I was even pleading with Melksham not to do anything stupid on the mark after giving the free kick away before the Kent mark.

    We've all seen too much haven't we Dee Zephyr! I was having flashes of Joey Montagna breaking the line and running into the open goal in those dying seconds!

    But isn't Kent already moving off his line so play on? He quickly wheels onto his left foot

    I love the food in China! So many choices and different styles of cuisine that we never get to see here. 

    Not my cup of tea. Give me Japanese or Vietnamese food over Chinese any day.

    And just quietly no wonder Freo are struggling. Last year they lost Langdon and Brad Hill. The year before Lachie Neale. That is a lot of talent to walk out of the place. 

    I reckon it's a pretty big indictment on Ross Lyon as a coach. Two of the best wingers in the game and Neale has been a star for a while now.

    I'm sorry, but what a dumb player. I didn't notice this at the time, but bloody hell, it's pretty clear, isn't it?

    I think the umpire has to call "play on" before the player on the mark can move over it. Depending on the quickness of the umpire, that does give the player with the ball a small advantage. I'm OK with that...the player making the play should have that advantage.

    I don't know how you can make such a sweeping generalisation.  I love some Japanese food and some Vietnamese food and some Chinese food.  Having been married to a Japanese person for over 20 years and having traveled there numerous times, I am more than familiar with the many different dishes (many of which are not to be found here)... some of which are, to my taste, inedible (try the dried fish called Kusaya, or Nama-ko which is a raw sea cucumber dish.  What we get here is just a fraction of what is available in those countries... particularly Chinese food (in China) as there are so many distinctly different regional dishes... and of course, to my tastes, some are almost inedible as well.

    Anyway, how can we tie this in to post game discussion... kicking around the foodie's football?

    To be fair, he was playing under excruciating circumstances.

    Can you image this site melting down had Kent got the 50 and kicked the winning goal against his old team?

    Little bit of Viney bias there, AF.  And slightly harsh to call him 'dumb'.

    Watch it in real time.  He pops the arms up with enough lean towards Steele that it not only holds Kent up for that extra second or two, but Viney can then also move further towards and then run with Steele, and thus he doesn't bring any attention to himself.

    Giving away the free kick was stupid enough.

    I did not realise that was a free kick at the time. Assumed it was on tbe full.

    What was it for?

    Clearly the Chinese hate us, they are the Nazis of the 21st century. The proof is being stuck up our noses on numerous occasions over the last six months. Nothing to do with racism. I have an Asian son in law and two half Asian grand children who I love dearly so don’t pull that BS on me.

    I spent a bit of time in Yokosuka about 15 years ago, my favourite dish was Okonomiyakie (hopefully correct spelling). I hope to get back there one day and do some travelling. From there I went to Vladivostok where I almost got kidnapped, didn’t mind the food though.

    Well, fair enough then.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
