    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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
