Ginnivan paid a free for the same thing Spaz got called holding the ball last night. Corrupt or incompetent?

Hang on, isn't the comp run by the AFL?

 

The Shockers are the real thing. They could well be top 4 later in the year. 
 

I love Sports Bars in Asia. :)

The umpires were right onto Weightman's tactics to milk frees and didn't pay him a couple.

Today the umpires were right onto Ginnivan who also missed out on a few = some which were really there.

Good to see them coming down on it especially young kids who make a habit of it.

I see on the AFL website McCrae is going to get clarification around ginnivan. So guess what will get paid next week

they're top four now

I’m talking finals. It means little right now

Every now and again a footballer comes along who lights up the competition, Michael Frederick is that sort of player, usually they don't burn for long, but they are so enjoyable to watch

Drop kick, drop punt? Careful you dont mix them up commentators! Oops! Long silence from the others…


Freo appealing for HTB against Bailey while he spins around and kicks a goal

lol

grabbing the jumper isn't a tackle

Freo peaking too early, not possible to sustain this level until last week in September

Ah, yes it is. If a player has the ball and you hold the jumper, and he does nothing to release it - it is holding the ball.

Holding the jumper without tackling while the player stands easily? not HTB

Sorry, but it is. Just as holding a jumper when a player has not got the ball is holding the man, holding a jumper of a player with the ball and the player does not dispose of it = holding the ball. Always was, always has been.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
