The top sides keep getting the job done which makes it even more upsetting that we lost.

    I hate Michael Long. I've never forgiven him for his brutal assault on Troy Simmonds in the 2000 GF.

    Yep and everyone going oh what a great hit.

    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.

     

    L AWS OF AUSTRALIAN FOOTBALL 2022 25PART C
    7. INTERCHANGE
    7.1 INTERCHANGE STEWARD – APPOINTMENT AND DUTIES
    A Controlling Body may appoint two Interchange Stewards to officiate during
    a Match. The Interchange Stewards shall:
    (a) be positioned throughout the Match at or near the Interchange Area;
    (b) monitor and approve the interchange of Players made by each Team
    during a Match; and
    (c) report to the field Umpire any infringement by a Team of this Law 7.
    7.2 PROCEDURE FOR INTERCHANGE
    The following procedure shall apply to the interchange of Players during
    a Match who are listed on the Team Sheet:
    (a) unless Law 7.3 applies, the Players intending to interchange shall leave
    and enter the Playing Surface through the Interchange Area;
    (b) where a Player does not leave or enter the Playing Surface as specified under
    Law 7.2(a), the Interchange Steward shall report the breach to a field Umpire
    and the following shall apply:
    (i) the field Umpire shall stop play at the first available opportunity;
    (ii) a field Umpire shall award a Free Kick to the nearest Player of the
    opposing Team; and
    (iii) a Fifty Metre Penalty shall then be imposed from the position where the
    Free Kick was awarded. For the avoidance of doubt, Law 7.2 operates
    in conjunction with Law 5.5 where a Team has more than the permitted
    number of Players on the Playing Surface

     

    No Idea if a law has been breached here but here's the link.

    I reckon the big non MFC story this weekend is Geelong.

    In order to make top 4 they’ll probably need to go 11-2 with major tasks against Dogs at Marvel, Port at AO, Brisbane at the GABBA, Collingwood at the G and (to a lesser extent) us at GHMBA.

    I think they’ve lost too many games to be considered a flag chance.

    If the Hawks lose today against the Eagles in Tasmania, the tank is well and truly on - if it wasn’t already.

    So apparently the benches get warned when you have 10 rotations to go 5 to go etc.

    Dean rampe sitting on the bench was aware of it and jumped up straight away

    I agree but current market odds have them 4th in line for the flag. Crazy.

    Today's Hawthorn v West Coast game will answer the ancient question;

    north had TWO interchanges over the limit

    they REALLY didn't wanna win that game

    TANK HARD

    The League has since confirmed to AFL.com.au that North Melbourne officials had been required to void the initial interchange breach, leading to Tom Powell returning to the bench after McLean's goal.

    They were unlucky that the infringement was given when the ball was in Sydney's forward line. In Sydney's back line it might have been a different result.

    Good grief if that is true.  If they can warn you when you have 5 to go etc, why can't they tell you "No More" as well.   And we wouldn't have a game decided in such a stupid way.

    Did anyone know the penalty for an interchange was a free kick and 50m penalty in the worst area on the ground possible?

    Apparently the indigenous name for West Coast is Boorloo.

    At least we know what the “loo” part stands for.

    At home games, their fans just go  with the first three letters.

    The big Karrinyup shopping centre in Perth near my home is extremely busy today. Traffic everywhere, car park full and cars parked on verges risking fines. No one is home watching the WC game today and going for retail therapy instead.

    Hardly seems fair that Harley Reid should be punished.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
