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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
