Shocking holding the ball against the Tiges for a gimme goal to Gunston! Prior opportunity really and it could have been deemed high for that matter.

That free goal to Hawthorn Gunston epitomises my rapidly declining interest in the game of AFL - the Tiger (can't remember who) went in, got the ball, NO prior opportunity, tackled INCLUDING ONE OVER THE SHOULDER / NECK, and freed for HTB !!!!

Not even effecting MFC in any way but this pi55es me off completely. Turns me off AFL - Gill, take note if you bloody well care.

NOT a correct tackle, and NO prior opportunity. Free to the guy with the ball, (or at least ball up) every day of the week.

Gibson tried to beat five tackles earlier and got a ball up.

Have the rules changed again?

And again - Puopolo pushed some ball getter in the back, ridden into the ground, again with NO prior opportunity - HTB.

Get stuffed, AFL - reward the bloody ball getter.

Pathetically inconsistent.

And the AFL are (supposedly) considering adding even on more umpire per game which would be 9 more per week.

How deep a cesspit do they have from which they can trawl 9 more maggots from?

They have already dipped far too deep.

Will just compound the mistakes.

How the hell did we beat Richmond (and Geelong and Fottascray for that matter) yet succumbed to the Druggies and Saints x2???

Well done Tigers tonight. They applied pressure and rattled the arrogant Hawks

That was paid as a push in the back mate.

We must be talking about a different incident I believe.

I really don't want to think about the Richmond supporters talking themselves up, but how good is it to see the smugness wiped off the faces of Hodge, Mitchell, Burgoyne, Lewis and co.?

Proof that sustained pressure for the whole game can keep you in any game against anyone.

I hope some of our players learn from this.

Edit: also relevant to note Richmond didn't really have anyone stand out too much, but had a really even contribution from all 22. No real passengers.

The one where he tackled Taylor Hunt? That one was paid as a push in the back. The Miles one was given as a free to Gunston. If there was another one I must have missed it while eating my toast...

Credit to the Tigers, didn't allow Hawthorn to play their game and applied pressure for 120 minutes.

Didn't walk out expecting to lose, that's for sure.

Also helped having 3 extra players on the ground, which is par the course for Richmond. Clear of the next team for total free kicks in their favour this season by over 70 (North Melbourne, land of the divers, in 2nd).

The umps tried to change the result but they weren't bad enough on the night.

well done Richmond scum.

The only way to beat bullies is to bully

them.

The result was not affected by the umpire, but many bets were.

Time they were fully reviewed/changed over.

One incident I remember clearly is Frawley not allowing a Tiger to even guard the mark.

Why are you allowed to even touch him?

Several verbal warnings, distract the marker, then the kicker lands a pass.

No free against manhandling the guy on the mark?

Penalise theses niggling ,cheating bullies or [censored] off to the Sunraysia league.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
