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: 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.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
