We win because we were in front at half time. So if Kossie had missed we would have lost and were 32 point in front.

Not the rule. If the game is past halfway, team in front as the scores are when called off are the winners.

    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. 

    Exactly. Political posturing masquerading as Pseudoscience.

    He has been amazing today. Would almost say today has been a more complete performance than last week. 

    Rising star surely. 

    Attacking the marks, brilliant at ground level!! Loved his work tonight.

    What I was told was the game would normally continue with lightning but the metal plate in McGovern’s head attracts the lighting so the players had to clear the ground.

    How big is Kozzies goal on the siren now?

    I think it is whoever in front when they stop the game not who is in front at half time.  You need to start the 3rd qtr for it to be a result

    I know that, you know that - why don't the commentators whose job it is to know this stuff and who p;layed the bloody game know that!

    Pretty sure they changed the rules after the Essendon/St.Kilda blackout game at Waverley in the early 90s

    Not liking the idea of sending our guys back out cold, sounds like soft tissue territory.

    100% - not feeling great about this.

    Current result stands at time of stoppage if after half time

    They don't wind it back

    That's good if correct

    Xavier Ellis reported the half time result would apply

    If it ends this way it's kind of a downer just in the sense we want to roll them.

    David King is saying if I'm Melbourne I'm saying nah that's it. He said why would you want your players cooling down then running back out there. If we lose any key players to hammys or groins I will be filthy

    Is the game clock still ticking. Might be a handle trivia question for years to come, The longest ever fourth quarter in an AFL game.

    No, the ruling is that if the game has reached half time, the team in the lead when it is called off, gets the four points.

    I would have thought so too. How would it be if West coast were in front at half time yet we were 6 goals up now. You wouldn't have to worry about the anti vaccine protesters, MFC members would be coming!

    Can we all just agree to disagree and award us the win.

    • 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.

      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?
