THROWN OUT !!!!

    Was a weak report to begin with, and a usual over-reaction from the umpire.

    By the way, was I the only one who nearly threw up when bloody McLaren popped up in the game when the other umpire went down? That idiot just will not go away.

    And of course the AFL are not taking any action against him, although he clearly fended off a Collingwood player during the match!

    Scotty, Scotty.

    He's in my good book at the moment though. Boundary throw in right in front of me - I called out "Scotty, give us a free, c'mon mate" and then "pick one out" or something along those lines. Sure enough, at the next contest he pulled one out.

    One of the worst day's umpiring I've seen in a while. We got so many unwarranted frees. Still trying to figure out what Petterd's free was for in the pocket

    I had a good veiw of it, he was being held, as the ball floated over his and Newmans heads he tried to move for it and you could see his jumper being stretched, it was pretty soft though, much like a few others we got

    No you're not Jaded, I too almost cried when I saw McLaren come off the bench. I quite dislike the man.

    As for the Collingwood incident, I disagree with you. Both player and umpire were running to the next contest, both seemed to have their eyes on the ball, and as McLaren neared O'Bree, he reflexively raised his arm. The contact was negligible. Comparisons between this incident and Heath Shaw's are ridiculous: one was intentional, the other wasn't. I have no problem with the AFL taking no action.

    Yeah as per usual the umpiring was inconsistent. The free paid to Nathan Brown that gave them their second goal was atrocious.

    My dad saw McLaren with his young children in a park near Balwyn. My dad said he couldnt believe it when he saw the kids having a kick of the footy while 'Daddy' was umpiring the same way as if he was on TV. "No you've fallen into his back..thats a free..can't do that". What a [censored]. Pity those children

    It's my wifes fault. She'd only just finished pointing out that he was emergency/reserve or whatever they call 'em selves when the other bloke went down and he popped up.

    Oh [censored], I'd better find a new career, because I sure as hell aren't going to teach them!

    McLaren should be droppped for failing to make significant contact with that Collingwood Pissant!

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
