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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
