    Yes but half the time it’s not clear whether the ump is saying get outside 5 or you are outside 5   Please explain

    If a player doesn't stand the mark immediately (the time to do so appears to be uniquely umpire dependent lol) and is a step or two away then he will be instructed to move back at least 5 meters from the mark (as to how any player knows exactly where that is i have no idea) with the umpire telling him "outside 5".

    Sometimes of course this is the player's doing in that he is deliberately stepping away from the mark anyway (because he wants to)  and the ump is still telling him outside 5.   In other words that player can now no longer go forward and stand the mark, he must stay "Outside 5".

    The Doggies mostly (but not always) prefer to play outside 5.  And at times they sometimes choose to stand the mark or they get caught on the mark and can't go outside 5 after the ump calls 'Stand'.

    The short answer is it can be both but each call for outside 5 relates to one of the above scenarios.

    Geelong mostly prefer to get up in the opponents face and 'Stand' the mark.

    Hope that helps Sue

    I think the push in the back of a player shoving them into a pack is one of the most potentially dangerous actions in our game.

    Seems to go unnoticed by the tribunal.

    Hope Geelong choke

    Reckon there was a bit of that with May last week

    Why the [censored] does BT have to comment on what’s clearly going to the tribunal? Insinuating that Toohey was acting. He’s such a blow hard. The game is better off without these boring dinosaurs who editorialise the game instead of simply commentating.

    I shouldn't say this . . . but I wish that gas cylinder . . . .

    Sick of watching the man on mark drop back 5m

    Stupid stand rule...

    Really sick of hearing both.  Heaps of the outside 5 watching the Doggies as they mostly play it that way.

    Easiest solution ....Channel 7 dont mic the umps!

    But yeh need to lose this rule

    BT just does not have an inside voice.

    It's been surgically removed

    It's pretty much a Doggy thing.  They prefer to step back from the mark and not 'Stand' the mark but instead go back and protect an area.  If they dont stand the mark then that area has to be outside 5 meters from the mark.

    A great idea for defenders in an OOTF situation as they can protect against the inside kick, a play on inside for a long raking kick over the back and/ or the switch a little better instead of standing the mark on the line and watching as the player runs off into field to do one of the above.

    Thanks mate. They yell outside 5 even when there is no one with 25m of the mark

    if it’s a rule, why do they have to coach the players?

    or just turn off the mics

    Cats very impressive after losing Kolo before the game and Stewart early on. De Konig has given Naughton a bath

    Yeah, I just watched a replay and I think you're right. Just a forearm into the back and pushed May off balance and into a high speed collision.

    Cats seem to be experts at it

    They have to yell it each time as if the player does the opposite after being told he is going to be free kicked.

    The coaching i can't stand is when the umps tell a player running near or.alomgside the mark, even when right behind an opponent, to 'Move out/Away'.

    As you say they are well aware of the rules.  Stop coaching them FCS.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
