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 

Oz 1.  A penalty given after review 

 

Martin Boyle is a great Scottish Australian but 

I don’t thing he has ever lived here

2 nil

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.

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

  • GAMEDAY: Geelong

    It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

  • PREVIEW: Geelong

    "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
