The AFL have made a serious mistake the pies are playing on mother's Day. Next thing you know they will have to play at Geelong!

Doesn't matter old dee as most filth supporters don't know who their mother is.

    They can go to the footy after their visit to Dame Phyllis Frost Centre. Make it a real family day.

    On the bright side, when was the last time both Sydney and Geelong were embarrassed by teams in the lower end of the ladder?

    Are you sure about that.

    Freo getting the job done as per my prediction.

    Not sure why people were so confident in Sydney winning. The are drosh this year.

    Good call and apologies.

    I'm really surprised after last week's effort against Collingwood.

    Hope Geelong smack them all over there on the rebound.

    It’s ok. Most of the Pies fans will do a quick jail visit to their mum and then off to the G.

    The ump dept needs a full review and reset 56.

    In particular...

    > it's reluctance.to call HTB after more than sufficient prior which sometimes results in a dangerous sling tackle

    > it's inconsistency with interpreting HTB, prior, insufficient attempt & incorrect disposal

    > the stand/outside 5, delay of "play on" calls once player behind mark moves off the mark, in particular set shots where the player shooting for goal is often allowed to arc off the mark and ends up kicking the ball around the player on the mark instead of over it allowimg a much closer shot at goal.

    > The stand rule where the mark is set for player standing the mark but player with the ball is often off to the side of the mark and is, with few exceptions, not asked to move around to his correct angle behind the mark, where the goals and the player on the mark should be the reference for determining that angle.  This often results in player with the ball being able to run up to or past the player on the mark before the umpire calls play on allowing player with ball a massive unfair advantage.

    > The protected zone.  More emphasis now on players moving out of the front of the zone whereas the rule was brought in to stop players from sitting inside the players lateral zones in order to try and prevent player with ball playing on into or kicking to someone on a 45.  Oppo players now quite often run through the lateral protected zones and are now not called for 50 meters.

    > On occasions players who are clearly asked to stand, move backwards off the mark after they took the option to stand.  And visa versa with the outside 5 rule.  My understanding is you can't do both and once the option is excepted by player in question, to do otherwise is an immediate breach and 50 meters.  Fairly certain this was adjudicated as such strictly early on....but some or many umpires have now backed right off on enforecement.

    > Unless the above issues with the stand rule are resolved with a massive tightening up of how it is adjudicated and governed.... it should be scrapped entirely and we revert back to the old system where there was no stand/outside 5 rule. 

    Bottom line is...from an umpiring perspective the game is a complete mess and state of flux.  Major overhaul needed.  Will the AFL recognise this and do so?  Nope.

    Thanks for that, very comprehensive and fully agreed. You have made very sound judgments and comments - wish I had the patience to scribble these all down as you have.

    These goal line reviews are becoming a blight on the game. Wasted time for no good reason.

    • 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.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
