Late to the party, what’s this new 50m rule when it’s a 1-2?

Yes i had no idea about this ruling 

 

Love them or hate them, it looks like Geelong have weathered the Pies best efforts, and and now settling. Selwood - a sook and free kick hunter but one of the best captains I have seen - is now a liability.

Don’t think it’s new Dub. You can’t hold a bloke after he gives off a handball and is looking to get it back. A 50 is awarded.

Thankyou. I aim to please (and confuse).

Well I’ve watch a lot of footy and never seen it before. Maybe one if those dormant rules that’s been rejuvenated?

Well, it was Geelong, and Dangerfield at that

Years ago they paid it more regularly, they don’t pay it anywhere near enough these days.

It's fairly new (last two years or so?) - designed to stop snipers and promote attacking footy. Whether it does that... 🤷

I believe it was brought in after an early 2010s GF where Ablett Jr either did this, or had this done to him. It's called the Ablett rule, i.e., illegally blocking a player from getting a handball receive is a 50 rather than a free to the infringed player. Rarely enforced, and usually incorrectly awarded a free to the infringed player (not a 50 as per the rule).

One actually happened to (I think Hunt) in the Dees game last night when Langdon tried to handpass to him but Hunt was impeded. Hunt got the free, but IMO it should have been 50 per the rule. It totally destroyed our momentum in that passage, which I believe is what the rule was brought in to prevent.

We got one last week.

Terrible. I am going to ch 32


OMG - Selwood the ducking winger HTB, goal Collingwood .... then a second free.  Great culture Cats.

Then, Selwood again missed an easy tackle on Sidebum. 

He is going too get really angry and maybe completely loses it.

Selwood getting jeered, then run down from behind, might just be the best thing I’ll see all weekend. And I saw Langdon’s goal. 

Bit annoying that Collingwood look like being one of our competitors in the finals. In the sense that they might be able to make a prelim via the 5-8 route.

Geelong well past their bed time once again.  They should really demand day games only.

tweet just came in from Chris Scott

apparently a lot of Cats team had the sniffles this morning

 

Pendlebury was airing his concerns to the ump about Geelong players “going to ground.” What does that mean?

I think they need a pillow and doona

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
