[Jaded No More 68,855]

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.

We find ourselves in a bit of a battle next week 

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,704]

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.

Current Ladbrokes odds

I was channeling the great 'Chief' in get Smart.   We're not just favourites they have us as almost certainties.

 

[McQueen 17,864]

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

[dees189227 12,364]

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.

north had TWO interchanges over the limit

they REALLY didn't wanna win that game

TANK HARD

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

"Can an entire team be penalised for insufficient intent?"

Infringing a mark from behind, is this day's curly rule of the Round.........COX to get three Frees

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.

[layzie 33,729]

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

[BDA 22,696]

West Coast are putrid. Melbourne 2012-2014 level putrid.

[Elwood 3184 1,298]

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.

In actual fact, they are rewarded. (with draft picks)

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.
