    Nth made to many interchange rotations. So the umps are correct and that's the rule.

    Gee nth can't take a trick

    gifting the game based on that infringement is a ludicrous rule. 

    make Nth play with 17 players for 5 minutes or any other punishment

    Bulldogs have a nice little deal going with their Ballarat games. Reportedly they get $1M from the State Government to play there.

    Could we have a game in say sunny Mildura.

    The irony is that the ground capacity in Ballarat is so small most Dog supporters don't bother with the trip

    Yet AGL HQ insist that Hobart needs a $300,000,000 stadium.  What a pack of hypocrites.

    It was because the ball was inside there 50. The free kick is where the ball is. But yeah it's harsh but all the other teams have managed to count

    North are competing with Melbourne for the decade from hell. They cannot do anything right and cannot take a trick. 
    My Swans supporting friend is at the game. Said s young North fan next to them is bawling their eyes out. It’s just so heartbreaking because you know what that feels like!

    Yet when players on the ACTUAL FIELD don’t line up in THE CORRECT PLACES THAT COULD DIRECTLY IMPACT THE GAME, everyone gets a warning????

    That makes no sense.

    No doubt the steward got it right, but as a hypothetical it would be interesting what would happen if, when North review their interchanges, it shows they only did 75.

    The North bench stuffed it up and paid a massive price.  What a rotten way to lose a match.

    Look on the bright side.  The win edged Sydney above Freo on the ladder.

    Bloody hell.  I'm no friend of Norf but even I'm wondering how many times the footy gods can fart in their faces. Brutal way to lose.

    Everyone knows what the rule is - it's not hard. Is a real pity for North though.

    No conspiracy. Nth stuffed up there interchange rotations. Surely there is someone on the nth bench that counts these

    I’m not doubting the free kick - but the delivery system for that from a gamesmanship perspective is horrific.

    ’Hi, I’m a voice from above that no one can hear but you. Yeah, that team wins. Cheers’

    Yet what happens, if, sometime in the future a similar thing happens but the interchange steward and not the club got the count wrong?

    Interesting. Last night a Port Player did not leave the field though the interchange gate. Someone posted the footage and asked the question last night.

    Was on Twitter last night. Will see if I can find it. They asked the question 'When did the rule get changed" Never thought much of it until I read the rules just then.

    Then that would be an equally massive stuff up.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
