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

    • 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.
