    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.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
