Remember when umpire descent was a rule?

Which week was that?

    So Pepper and another Port player are allowed to willingly enter the protected zone straight into the oppos 45 angle area.  If he wanted to play on there he's blocked.

    And they both entered from a fair way out not caught there a split second after the mark was paid.

    They arent trailing an opponent as their opponent is behind them on the fat side

    Then in shock they both turned on a dime and exited with hands in the air as if to say "oh sorry... didnt see that"

    No free on either occasion.

    The reason the "stand" rule was introduced in the first place was to stop that very thing from happening and pay a 50 immediately it does.

    So the question then has to be asked....

    WHY ARE WE STILL CONTINUING WITH THE STAND RULE?

    Scrap this BS rule FCS

    Or even dissent. Descent would imply that they could get lower - is this possible?

    Umps get stat updates and react, known fact

    4 corners on Monday night was interesting.

    AFL pulls direct percentages on bets wagered with betting companies.

    Gets about $40 million a year in income I think it was.

    A close game is a lucrative game. Keeps people wagering.

    Thanks for that.  Explains a lot actually.

    Immoral and unconscionable.

    Big fan of Finlayson. 

    He'd go alright beside JVR and Fritta

    Happy for Port to win, then we can make the Cats season close to impossible next week.

    I don’t care which team gets the free - but riding someone into the ground from behind (Allir this time) should never be HTB.  NEVER.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
