    Blues have done well to wrest back momentum after Hawks looked like pulling away

    Has anyone else noticed that the Advantage rule has changed interpretation?

    it seems that simply all the players stopping and requesting clarity on the free is no longer a problem. As long as one of the team wants to take the advantage.

    5–10 Seconds later, “Play on”, No problem. 

    But, it seems, not all the time.

    Which is one of the lovely reasons why we love this game????

    The TV commentary is totally embarrassing. Barracking for Carlton. Hawthorn missed two set shots. Now Carlton are the heroes. And so good”.

    4 of Blues 5 goals from frees and if Acres kicked accurately would be 5 free goals from 6.

    It’s the worst ‘rule’ in the game. As there is zero consistency. 

    Walsh took the advantage for the Blues,  scored and it was brought back.

    Other times everyone stops and the ump yells play on. Can we create an actual rule around this aside from the ump does whatever?

    Umpires all of a sudden paying throwing the ball against Cripps.

    They’re paying every 5th throw, 3rd trip, and 4th high tackle.

    It is making it hard to keep up.

    After a strong start by the Storm Penrith coming back 14-10

    Indonesia's new very expensive coach may not last long.

    The Indonesian league was known for some vicious fighting between fans but things seem to have cooled down a little in recent years

    Redleg, you're kidding if you think the Blues have had the rub of the green.

    I was trying to work out how Carlton was ahead. I thought there might be something that we could employ against the Hawks.

    But if we are relying on free kicks in front of goals, well then, we’re [censored]-ed.

    You’re right. So I think that means that we will just play it like it is for the next 10 years

    It seems to be that you have to stop, in order for the ump to say, “play on”.

    I have a real problem, I as can’t stand either of them, but Carlton will always be my most disliked. Can’t stand the club.

    There you go! Just happened again with Newcombe but he was called back.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
