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

Tank for Harley Reid activated

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.

 

For those that are watching the Dogs v Adelaide game, have Dogs been that good or Adelaide that poor.

Dogs are quietly making a top 4 bid.

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.

There must be a few potential high draft picks dreading being selected by North

How good is Isaac Smith at 34 years of age.
