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: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
