    speaking of which, how come the mro haven't sanctioned buddy for staging. how come so little discussion on this bad decision (and kozzies) post game in the media

    if it was the filth or the tigers they would have kicked up loudly

    Exactly.

    Big club Coaches would be bleating about the decisions.

    There is a clear agenda IMO in the media to highlight certain things and overlook others.

    What about the excuse for Ginnivan's chicken wing not being cited. Oh they missed it. Still 6 days before his next game plenty of time to lay a charge.

    The rule is interpreted stupidly as well.  If someone is zooming through the protected area and there is no way (short of tearing all his ligaments) to actually turn and affect the player with the ball, then ignore it.   So rather than players and umpires guessing where 15m is, let them guess 'could the player actually affect they player with the ball'.   If a player zooms past but is so close the umpire thinks he could have affected things, ping him.  If not, don''t.

    It's a 10 metre protected area and Kozzie was double that away from Reid at all times. Disgraceful decision.

    That non citing is worth more than all the frees he has missed, as he would have got 2 weeks. 

    Oh that's right the MRO is Michael Christian and he played for ...........

    Wouldn't be surprised if the AFL told him to ignore it, as it would create more controversy.

    Disgraceful act, as even Dermie said, it was done to really hurt Dangerfield.

    The reason why Danger couldnt remonstrate was because he was already on the ground, wonder if Blondie would’ve done anything if Paddy was upright? Seriously, Ginivan has something coming for him surely. A pity Adams (a tough but fair player) did his groin and not that little worm.

    Sam Switkowski got 2 weeks for his chicken wing on Ginnivan earlier this season. On seeing this latest decision, Sam might think he’ll be getting an apology from the MRO.

    Sorry, but I come from the Allen Jakovich generation.

    Gee, the similarities up forward from Trac and Jako are evident.

    Maybe, this is the right time, especially with our problems with tall forwards, to push Ben Brown up the ground (CHF), and place Trac and Fritsch in the Goal square, with Kozzie/Spargs crumbing.

    Or, open up the forward line completely, and let Trac go one on one, aka Jako.

    We have not tried it yet.

    Not a bad idea FAR but then we have the problem of being a rotation down through the middle.

    Uncle B will duck down into the cellar and choose a dusty bottle (circa 1960 but the label is deteriorated)

    And we know he'll settle down,... and invite the maid (Meredith is the Tuesday girl) to provide some comfort.

    Haha you seem to know an awful lot about BBO’s habits Handley. Is there something you want to tell us?

    The maggots knew what they were doing and carefully compounded and concocted three or four together  killer decisions to covertly bring our opposition back into the game.After the first one the smiles started coming back.and they pressed harder knowing that those maggots were about to let things roll.

    The mark whistle started as well. In other words all they had to do Reid in particular was put the ball in both hands and the maggot had his whistle in his mouth that quick that he nearly swallowed it.

    It was incorrect. Kozzie was miles away, eyes fixed elsewhere, accelerating forward.

    If Petracca moving about freely is an issue we could just play him out of the goal square 

    Brisbane don't flood back like a lot of other teams (unless they change their tactics against us this time around)

    In our 2 previous encounters against them this season our forward line has not been crowded and as a result, our forward line has functioned very well both times

    So Petracca playing deep forward (up to a flank) would be a dangerous proposition for them.  And a potential match-winner for us

    We've got enough quality in the midfield to cover for Christian (that might be a different story if we advance to an encounter against the Cats)

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
