Both Oz and indo are a bit rough but I did not know you could tackle a payer around the waist and throw them to the ground

    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.

    For me it's Hawthorn, Essendon and Geelong

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

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
