    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: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
