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?

    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?

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      It was only a preseason match but the new look Demons spearheaded by new coach Steven King looked impressive as they put on a clinic against perennial cellar-dwellers North Melbourne as they cruised to an 80 point victory at Casey Fields.
