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.

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

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.

    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. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
