    In golf we just press pause and then recommence whereupon the Lightning ceases 

    There is a lightning tracker app, which shows lightning at Redcliffe which is very close by.

    Wonder if we get 2 pts if she's called off...??

    Absolutely no chance. We are 33 points up with 15 mins left. Why would we give that up???

     

    They better resume the game in our forward pocket and not in the centre

    If this game had started when it should have it would be over. 8:10 on a Monday night was B/S

    There’s no doubt the (w)AFL will find a way to give West coast 8 points of premiership points under a modified Nicholls-Margetts system whereupon the home time finding itself behind at the cessation of play shall have 100 points added to their score and an extra 4 premiership points awarded for the inconvenience

    Just wondering what the rules say

    Can't imagine it's favourable to us

    So now players cool down and go out again? Hello injuries....


    Solid way to give west coast a rest

    Surely there is the AFL equivalent of the duckworth Lewis rule from the cricket? 

    The game is over.

    Absolutely. Thank WA government and their [censored]. Could have played yesterday but no, 7 days to quarantine 🙄 coz 6 is not enough but 14 is too much. Flogs. 


    I know is most footy comps the rule is if the game is called off after half time the team in front is awarded the win

    Judging by the weather radar it will take at least 30mins for the storm clouds to pass

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
