Funny reaction form the Crows player to that BS free paid to the dogs (the dogs player ducked his head into the tackle). The arms went out for a split second before he realised what he was doing. Quickly put the arms back down again

The Dogs player cannonballed himself head first into the Crows player and was awarded  the free. It’s the real obvious ones they get wrong that irks me, but the players seem to be adapting to this rule as you stated.

    AFL can't adjudicate properly on rules that have been in the game forever, eg throwing.

    Now they can't even adjudicate on the ones they brought in eg ducking into a tackle.

    What hope is there for a supposedly simple rule to stop dissent? I think we know the answer.

    Mr punchable head, Taylor Walker, has been in very good form since he returned this season

    Score in this game 200 throws to the posers and two to Crows

    It’s time a journalist asked Beveridge the direct question 

    “Do you train your Players to throw the ball”

    The evidence is all there

    Dogs midfield is an over glorified accumulation machine. Sure they get lots of it, but have virtually no hurt factor. They must all have themselves in their AFL fantasy teams.

    The crows are a better side than many of us thaught.

    Bailey Smith has to be the most overrated player going around. Has he hit a target yet?

    Most of his touches are unnecessary 1-2’s he demands. Just halve his stats for true worth.

    And they have Burgess now so you know they’ll run out games well.

    Go Croms

    I picked ‘em. 
    The Dogs are psychologically ruined because of last September 

    All the more reason to barrack for the Dogs now.

    Should be a good game tonight. I reckon the return of Toby will ignite the Giants and bring St Kilda back down to earth. The sainters have been getting a bit ahead of themselves 

    Green came in an actually was rather quiet in form and contribution relative to his past efforts. What did surprise was the form - improving after the early first quarter start - and contribution of Preuss for the GWS team. Big bloke, big reach, big entrance to a melee or two, big reading of the play and the drop of the ball. Across the game, big Preuss earned an assessment as one of the best on the ground for GWS. Good on him, as it, too, has taken some time (of which most of us are familiar).

    So already a few players running through the "protected zone" and no 50. It just kills me that every week the umps ref the game to only some of the rules, and it's a different few each week.

    Sure does add to their inconsistencies and so extremely negatively in anticipated, reliable umpiring.

    mmmmm. Ben Keys has a bit of a Bayley Fritsch aesthetic about him.

    I reckon I have seen half a dozen arms up from the Dogs.  No free. Just waiting for the unlucky Crows player to get a reversal or 50 go against him.

    Where’s Tom Morris when you need him?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • 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.
