Not sure how this is possible.

Perhaps he means actual time on the ground (?) But what would be the point of noting that fact?

    Did they blow the siren to start last quarter before they went off?

    I think the AFL has much bigger issues to deal with

    Good question. I don’t think so. When they resumed it was the beginning of the fourth quarter.

    Point made was fair enough.

    Stewart very unlucky not to get a free kick and he too, could have been seriously injured.

    Be nice to see Chol take the front position.

    I have to admit it’s pleasing to see some of the new young players shine. Not only is Caleb Windsor showing his pace and skill is a big addition , but Blake Howes (pick 40 in 2021 and now just game 4) and Judd Mcvee (rookie pick and now in his 2nd senior year ) are showing great signs.  

    Some always dismiss later draft picks or rookie picks because they historically have lower success rates.  But there’s always diamonds to be found sometimes in players who unbelievably drift down the draft board or get over looked until given a chance.
     

    In this round for example , for the Blues, Jack Carroll (pick 41, 2021 draft) has been finally given his chance and looks comfortable to start to secure a more regular spot.  Luke Ryan (pick 66, 2017) is now one of the first picked at Freo and a key defensive player.  Nic Martin was overlooked in 3 drafts then got his chance at 21yo (SSP 2022)  in the weekend was BOG for the bombers, whilst Riley Bonner delisted by the Power was probably one of the Saints best, using his run and skill off half back. Finally yesterday James Worpel (pick 45, 2017) was BOG even in the Hawks loss and just knows how to win and use the footy.  Yes it’s nice to get top 10 picks, but there’s always diamonds to be found as well in other picks.

    A warning. Pendlebury.  Hawkins.  It’s the name that determines the penalty.  McPhuggleman or Kosinski or other such no name player would get suspended for one week for Pendles action or a fine of a few grand for Hawkins misdemeanor.

    Aren't clubs warned about this as part of the official AFL rules already? So a second warning then?

    I like Laura Kane and think she's a breath of fresh air, but this is just muddying the issue more. I know in previous years the AFL would just double down on any decision but that's what you have to do. You can't be going around undermining your own umpires saying they've got it wrong on something even the fans are debating about.

    He is but having a phone on during a game is illegal for players and coaches.

     

    Yet if he had one of the iPads showing game bits it’d not even be commented on!

    Saints to face the Tigers without Lynch, Balta and Baker.

     

    It seems that no one actually protects themselves in marking contests any more.

    Just looked at the replay, and Melican jumps with his knee up but then straightens his leg, so that Baker can hit him front on. 
    If he did have his knee up, or heaven forbid, his leg straight out, would he then be reported for contact to Baker?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
