    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
