So if a player shoots at goal but falls short a teammate can punch it through the goals and it’s 6 points?  Don’t like it too

    We won't know for sure until all the Round 24 results are in. However, it could turn out that the real victims here are Geelong.

    I guess there could be one good thing coming out of this farce.

    Maybe we should get the ARC to check every claim by a player that he touched the ball to see whether he's been cheating. If we do that, though, we're going to need an ARC the size of Noah's.

    For starters getting one ARC that is even  a little more updated than Noah's would be good start.   Sending the engraved tablet back to Jerusalem for adjudication must have taken an eternity.

    LDVC, one option is like soccer if it goes in the net it's a goal doesn't matter how it gets there, or it has to be kicked. Either way it is much easier to umpire and expensive sub standard inaccurate systems are not required. 

    That would change the game so much I would prefer to stick with the current rules and system, flaws and all.

    More than an eternity. Noah predates Jerusalem...which, if it had existed at that time, would have been underwater, anyway.

    I see the AFL is beefing up the ARC system for the finals. I wonder if they couldn't find a way to adapt cricket's Snicko technology which records any contact between bat and ball. I may be the odd one out here, but I can't blame goal umpires for errors that literally involve a couple of millimetres at times. It is a very difficult job with many close calls to be made under huge pressure.

    Whilst I think it's a good idea for goal scoring, I'm afraid this technology might have the capability of taking away some of the other controversial decisions made by umpires during a game such as short passes, how far a player has run without bouncing, and a miriad of other things that although might be wrong at the time,bring entertainment  in relation to the reaction of the crowd to the decision. That's what makes our game great, the cheering,the booing, which I know with the latter, can sometimes over the top, but regardless makes for conversation and interaction and discussion which is a essential element in our game which I would hate to lose.

    Why not have that new technology with  holographic Umpires.

    • 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.
