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

    “Do you train your Players to throw the ball”

    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: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
