So we had four players fined.

How many did Gold Coast get fined.

I did not see the picket punch. Was it there at all ?

    Kozzie's very lucky he can keep escaping suspensions with these low level strikes.

    May did not and should not have copped a suspension. Not sure it warranted the melee.

    And I especially loved that we were at out toughest during this useless melee which resulted in Ainsworth running 40 metred unattended into the easiest goal of his life. (Pathetic)

    MATCH REVIEW: Fiorini and May in the clear, 22 charges laid

    The match review findings from Saturday's round 16 games are in

    5 players for us got fined (May, Salem, Viney, Oliver, Melksham) engaging in a melee/wrestle

    6 Suns got a fine for engaging in a melee/wrestle (Noble, Walter, Anderson, Humphrey, Collings, Clohesy)

    In addition to Ben King getting a fine for Instigator of a Melee/Wrestle.

    Personally, reckon the fine for instigating a melee should be higher than engaging in a melee

    Apparently a melee is an acceptable setting for the umpires to ignore the rules and not re-set him to take the ball back behind the mark.

    Or to reverse the kick in the first place to give it to May for being smacked by 2 suns players

    Loved the "Petty had poor technique"when he got concussed rubbish by the media

    It's along the same vibe as "Brayshaw deviated his line into ftards shoulder" kinda logic.

    What about Vineys sling tackle on whoever it was? Rowell?

    I know it didnt even draw a free kick at the time but the TV commentary review panel were already giving him weeks.

    After picking up the ball ahead of the mark, while defenders were being held and wrestling in a melee, not able to stop him and then not bouncing the ball once in that 40 metre run.

    Wonderful officiating!

    More than that. Am I right in thinking the umpire had already stopped the clock. Subsequently using 'play-on' to break up a melee may sound a plausible excuse, but I don't think it is good policy to give such an advantage to either side, and especially the one that start the melee. Just imagine if it was a close game and happened to C'wood.

    I think you are correct, that the time on had been called and play was stopped.

    I was unaware of the new rules that you can run with the ball as far as you like, without bouncing it, if you are running from a melee and that you don’t have to go behind your mark if a free is called and play is stopped, when time on has been called, while your team mates have knocked down a player not in the play and are wrestling the opposition to stop them defending.

    We will say nothing most likely.

    Are we sure the umpire did not award a 50 meter penalty for late contact after the mark was taken (even if momentarily)?

    Yes we are sure, it was paid a free not a mark and no 50m penalty.

    As Ainsworth ran past the umpire, he put his hands up and called play on and watched him run 40 metres into goal without bouncing the ball.

    OK, so you're sure Ainsworth wasn't just being given the green light to proceed to the new mark (with 50 meters )to take his kick. Often players do that so as to register the score quickly and therefore avoid a reversal from any infringement in the melee.

    He was actually all alone and unattended.

    At least 20 of the 40 were without a bounce! Where is an umpire who has the guts to adjudicate the most basic of rules?

    You and I know that will not happen. Pies are being umpired to the Grand Final. Watch the last 5 minutes of their games, you would be incredibly lucky to see a free paid against them.

    He bounced it as he ran past the umpire. The tv vision didn't show that. From where he bounced to where he kicked it could arguably been too far, but he definitely bounced it

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
