I thought he was staging too but the replay showed he copped high contact from the legs of a StKilda player running past. Wasn't much in it but the umpiring in recent weeks is all over the shop.

and they want to dilute what little talent they have by having four of them on the field. Eventually they will want 20, one for each pair of players.

Did anyone see the boy dressed up as an umpire? Good on him, I've never seen that before, I bet the umpires were loving that...first time they have had "supporters" in the crowd

As amusing as it was, err.. how exactly did he get a kids-sized umpire uniform unless it was a blatantly pre-arranged, AFL-endorsed placement?

What a great round it has been to date. I don't know what gave me the most pleasure: seeing the Pies get pole axed by the Tiges by 91 points or seeking Essendon fall by 2 points to the Suns!

They're equally amusing in unequal ways. Both gave me much happiness though.

Saints ruining Geelong's finals chances would've been the trifecta of perfection though.

Geelong are a very ordinary side and don't deserve to be in the finals. Their older players have had it and the younger ones are mediocre. See Chris Scott is bleating about the umpiring - what a wanqer.

Would be a complete injustice if Geelong made finals over Adelaide. Sadly, looking at the draw, it seems more likely than not that Geelong will make it. For Adelaide to win, they need to either 1) beat West Coast next week or 2) beat Geelong at Skilled. Neither are an easy feat.

The only alternative was Geelong losing tonight, which would've ended their season. OR Geelong losing next week to Collingwood, which appears highly unlikely. Damn.

Given their patchy form I think Geelong could easily lose one in the last two rounds. Then again North aren't entirely safe in the 8, appears unlikely but still they have 3 tough opponents to face

I'm really hoping that Adelaide wins that Round 23 game v Geelong which would make the fact that their earlier game was cancelled totally irrelevant as far as the makeup of the final eight is concerned.

I also would like us to win today to go ahead of St. Kilda on the ladder and stay that way. The commentariat are speaking of St. Kilda almost in tones of this being a breakout year and how brilliant their future will be with all their young players. Sure, they're doing well and they have some good kids but they are doing it off the back of a solid core of veterans like Riewoldt and Fisher (10 marks each last night), Gilbert, Montagna etc who will all have to be replaced very soon. They are not in fact a very young side at all.

AFL needs to fine this f!og for all his acting and diving.

Only a goal down now...

They'll definitely still lose.* North are hopeless; half their team need walking frames just to finish training.

Felt they were lucky to beat us. Big mistake by them thinking they were in a Premiership window (whatever that means).

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
