Why are Blues players allowed to determine where the mark is and almost always run over the actual mark without ever being called back?

    why did the ump call back the play there when the tiges had a good advantage

    I think you answered your own question.

    There’s another team who have figured out how to win tight matches.

    Yep.

    Get the umpires to give you everything, have your opponent down 3 players for most of the game, off a 5 day break and  have an opposition player play on from a set shot 2 metres out and miss.

    That’s the way to win.

    Gee poor yze. Was I said last week welcome to coaching.

    I just caught the last quarter. Bolton in the final seconds I thought was going to get through but he forgot to take the ball.

    Richmond and Yze deserve massive credit for that performance. They almost won it. 
     

    Richmond are going down and this is Carlton’s first realistic chance of being expected to get to a GF. 
     

    My hat is off to Yze.

    Still not sure Carlton are the real deal. Their defence still looks dodgy. Maybe Weitering makes the difference.

    Carlton did everything they could to lose that one, the umps sure helped them out in the last, though the Tigers got the rub of the green early in the game.

    Carlton’s defence looks very suspect, but god Curnow and McKay really show the value of having 2 quality KPF’s. We don’t even have 1.

    And where was Dusty in the last 10 minutes? The Tiges had a fair share of it in their half forward but Dusty, no where to be seen when he would normally turn a tight game on its head.

    My husband barracks for Carlton and over the decades of our marriage I have really tried hard to like them. 
    Unfortunately, I have failed at this miserably.

    If i was a tigers supporter i would be incredibly proud of the troops, down 3 rotations also off a 5 day break.

    Did a Richmond player in the 3rd quarter miss from 2 metres out?

    If it wasn’t 2 metres out it was all of 3 out but it was a shocker of a miss all the same. Would’ve given them a handy 13 point lead.

    Surprised Carlton didn’t pile on the goals in the last quarter given the opposition were down 3 players.

    Mansell, played on from a mark 2 metres out and missed.

    Moronic bit of play.

    You're kidding right.

    You don't regard JVR as a quality KPF?

    Give me a spell.

    I'd be filthy if I was a tigers fan.

    How could the AFL not find a way to ensure the tigers had at least a 6 day break. Ridiculous.

    i wish people would make a distinction between 'key' and 'tall'

    fritsch is one of the best 'key' forwards in the competition

    Key position forward (KPF) is, as i understand it, is the centre half forward and full forward, positions that are usually filled by talls.

    But I agree on what I assume is your point- fritter, who is arguably our full forward and could be considered a KPF, is very much a quality forward.

    So, far from not having any quality KPFs, we have two.

    Only thing missing last night was Rey Mysterio giving Tom Lynch a 619. Season script has been written. Blues in the GF.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
