Why was Charlie Cameron put on an angle there after marking in the goal square? Don't the umpires know the rules?

Don’t we all know that?

We need to finish 4th to meet cats in QF which is highly unlikely. 2nd or 3rd only. With cats on top.

96 point loss for Marc Murphy in his final game.

Poor guy. He's been a warrior for the Blues in the same way Jones has been for us. 

Hey DJ . . . I love you  . . . . . but . . . . . .

Jones is in another football universe compared to Murphy. For a number one draft pick, Murphy has been 'good ordinary' at best.

So. Assuming we win tomorrow (I know, I know), if we lose next week and Port beat Doggies, we’re off to Adelaide. Fate in our hands and all that. Unless Dogs beat Port, which they will….maybe…..not….probably….aaaaah, who the [censored] knows. 🤯

Dogs need to be careful. If Brisbane win big tonight, there is a chance Dogs could end up 5th if they lose to Port

To win tomorrow and sew up top 3 would be mint. I’m guess dogs beat port week after so even if we lose to port we finish 2nd at worst to Geelong and I think play dogs week 1? Dogs are gettable now as are Geelong. Port looking dangerous over there but it was Carlton. Halcyon days ahead friends !

The Jones vs Murphy comparison is a reminder that no matter how bad you have it, someone has it worse.

As bad as it has been, no way Jones swaps his career for Murphy's.

What about the staging? Any word on Hawkins?

Both will get off under the “Innocent Cat veteran” rule.

Lol Dangerfield could get reported for striking and the end result would be the other guy gets weeks for head-butting his fist.

As for the Cats and Carlton (the time of my last post), if something is too good to be true then usually it is. Carlton stopped dead.

Both arms pinned in the tackle and slams his head into the ground causing concussion. He was unable to protect himself as he fell and therefore Hawkins had duty of care not to cause head injury. Would be 2 weeks if named Neal-Bullen


Can someone with a better understanding of the rules explain to me how this play by Hawkins isn't a free kick for taking his eyes off the ball in a marking contest?

Thought the same at the time. Almost an old fashioned shirt front isn't it?

Not going for the ball at all. How he gets away with it is beyond comprehension

This is a genuine question. 

Didn't Steven May give away a free kick doing exactly this?

 

18.5 MARKING CONTESTS
18.5.1 Spirit and Intention
The Player whose sole objective is to contest or spoil a Mark shall be permitted to do so.
18.5.2 Free Kicks - Marking Contests
A field Umpire shall award a Free Kick in a Marking contest against a Player where the Player:
(a) holds or blocks an opposition Player;
(b) unduly pushes or bumps an opposition Player;
(c) deliberately interferes with the arms of an opposition Player;
(d) makes contact to an opposition Player from front-on and whose sole objective is not to contest or spoil a Mark; or
(e) makes an unrealistic attempt to contest or spoil a Mark which interferes with an opposition Player.
18.5.3 Permitted Contact
Incidental contact in a Marking contest will be permitted if the Player’s sole objective is to contest or spoil a Mark.

mmmmm

could Brisbane unseat the Bulldogs (now that is doing a melbourne)

percentage is a difficult thing because it requires a calculation  of for and aginst but it strikes me that a win by more than 60 sets up a fascinating last round

And what's his first reaction? Throw arms up, fall backwards to try and win a free himself. He's a deadset germ, how the players have voted for him as their rep is beyond me.

I don't think they are the GMHBA rules Mazer.

Maybe the ump was blindsided while standing 3m away from the incident?

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
