Let's say Aliir had not punched, the ball went through and the umps decided to award a free for in the back. No score, free kick awarded, game over. The player can take the kick if they want.

I wonder how many umps would have had the nerve to pay the free.

Fair enough. And what if the free kick is the other way, eg Aliir pushes Buddy in the back (or whatever) and infringes in order to stop the kick going through? Does the kicker get a second shot?

    Essendon have had, I think, the softest opening four matches of anyone, making St Kilda’s draw look taxing. 

    Hawthorn, GC, St Kilda, GWS. Like St Kilda, all four games in Melbourne.

    They have a brutal run over the next month.

    Us, Pies, Geelong and Port away.

    If they can win 2/4 then they’ll be in finals discussion.

    Concussed and will likely miss our game next week.

    Concussed. Will 100% miss next week. Enters 12 days protocol. There is no getting around that.

    Saints travel once in the first 8 weeks and you can’t really call Gather round a genuine road trip given the neutral venue V Collingwood. The fixture sets St Kilda up really well for a crack at finals.

    Meanwhile we’ll travel 4 times in 8 weeks. The complete inverse of last year.

    Saints have a blessed fixture this year

    Kicker gets a second shot, or Buddy gets a kick from the square, whichever is deemed the bigger penalty to Port.

    So lynch was sent straight to the tribunal what am I missing I didn’t think there was much in it just a collision, no point him showing up anyway

    Really need St Kilda to lose one soon. Whether or not people think they have beaten anyone the fact is that they are 4-0 and people said the same about us 2 years ago. Banked some points early and they just need the streak snapped.

    I figured with no real interstate game in the first 8 weeks, they'd be on the road repeatedly in the final 8 weeks.

    Nope. Their final game is at the Gabba but they have five straight games at Marvel prior to that. That includes an "away" game to Hawthorn at Marvel, which is ridiculous (MCG tenants being forced to play "home" games at Marvel against Marvel tenants is obscenely unfair).

    So that means their travel is in the middle third of the year - they have 5 interstate games in their middle 9 games.

    Still means they get a soft start and a largely soft run into finals, which is about as good as it gets.

    Richmond are old and slow and have mortgaged the future on 2 GWS midfielders. Cotchin, Riewoldt and dusty on their last legs. No finals for them I reckon. Surprised so many people tipped them for top 4.

    I'm hoping the Hawks can give the Cats another nudge towards the cliff today.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • 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.
