Under what rule did the umpire pay that a throw? (Around the goal post)

Surely passing the ball hand to hand is not the same as throwing?

 

Surely it's no different than Higgins 2018?

Ask any bulldog player, you must pretend to handpass it.

But yep you're right. It wasn't a throw

    Another great goal to Boak. This will be some escape if the Bulldogs hang on.

    Carey said he threw it to himself so it’s a throw. 

    Yeah good on Carey.

    But since when has swapping hands been called a throw in the AFL?

    Is it the action (ie "throwing it up"?). If so, the same thing should apply to Higgins 2018, and other instances of throwing it up then kicking it.

    He wasn't disposing it, and it's not like he threw it up meters in the air and recaught it to avoid another player, he did the minimum he could to transfer the ball between hands.

    Surely that is not the intent of the rule?

    Except it was the absolute definition of insufficient intent to keep the ball in, or not to run it out. A free kick every day of the week.

    I agree with you. I quoted Carey but forgot to add the I’m an [censored] emoji. Not that there is one but you know what I mean. 😊

    Dogs are gonna drop out of the top 4  if they lose this. Brisbane will go ahead of them on percentage.

    I think this game has basically been the bye before the finals.

    3 point game and it's trash

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
