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?

Looking at a weather report 

I think the AFL has much bigger issues to deal with 

He wanted to know if it was raining outside

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

Reckon the AFL need to have a quiet word with Ooze to tell Marb Chol to stop going into marking contests knee first every time

May and now Stewart

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?

  • Welcome to Demonland: Steven King

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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.
