Hence why they love Essendon, they have the numbers to make a significant impact on the AFL's revenue

Pity they can't win a final....Day 5,357

Or even play in a final...

What did you have, a 60 year head start?

Bloody oath - that’s a disgraceful decision.
But having a look at who they play next week, maybe a week is fair...

He was probably penciled in for a rest this week anyway. Out Ablett, In Selwood

Probably due for a rest anyway

One of the Brownlow favourites currently IMO. Was nothing in it and definitely would appeal

Well, it shouldn't be. ( See Hoskin-Elliott handball late in Anzac Day game ).

So a kick has to go a specified distance?

Great, just add that to the grey-ness of the rules already and make it harder for the umpires to umpire!

No, it doesn't, but "nicking" the ball at the end of a tackle after having prior shouldn't be considered correct disposal, should it?

Probably not but surely that is just adding another grey area into the game and more issues for umpires.

if it hits the boot in any way, shape or form its a kick, just like the things players are calling handballs these days which looks more like a flick

I thought open hand handball was a throw.
About when the time the flick pass was outlawed.

I think the umps just don't want to throw it up and turn a blind eye just so it gets out.

^ worse than the flick pass is the way the overhead handball has crept into the game as acceptable. Most of the time the clenched fist is doing about 1% of the actual balls momentum. Its basically a throw with a token brush of the hand.

That would make it a handball. Lol
I don't have a problem with the overhead, its the quick give in close the umps see or don't see.

Does a ball grazing a boot, shin or lower leg count when a goal is reviewed? Think about what you're saying, surely that's making a grey area even more grey?

Got to appeal that.

Left the ground, chose to bump, elbow up, has to be a week.

He'll get off.

Would rather see his record remain unblemished.

Ablett somehow got off. The AFL is taking the piss at the moment

Always going to happen but had never been suspended in his over 300 games so I can live with it

Shiel should now get a fine for staging.

He elbowed Shiel in the head. I thought the AFL were against head hi contact?
