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.

    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.

    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?

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
