What a play from Hodge.

I hate the rule, but it should have been a free against Hodge for diving at the player's legs.  We had one paid against us on Saturday.  It sucks.

    Yes and no, his intention was the ball as opposed to tunnelling the opposition player.

    But that free kick isn't meant to be decided on "intention".

    The biggest surprise to me on Monday was that the Hawks weren't able to capitalise on some incredibly generous umpiring. This was but one example among many.

    Is it like the speccy rule? Take the mark and you can sit on someone's head or knee them in the back, drop it and it's a free.

    I think the umpiring went both ways. The 360 tackle and incorrect disposal.

    They paid the market price for Heeney last year. 

    No, they paid an end of first round pick for the best mid in the draft who would have otherwise gone top two.  Heeney, like Ablett before him, has the distinction of having forced a rule change due to the manner in which he was acquired by his club.

    Yes didn't we offer our pick 2 for Heeney thus forcing the Swans to use their first round pick? I believe Roos was well aware of Heeney's ability and was happy to risk the Tracc or Brayshaw for him. Swans got a bargain there and this year the rules have changed and you have to trade in draft points to get academy players or father sons depending on how they are rated in points.

    I think the umpire made the correct decision in not calling that a free kick. Hodge didn't take out Greyson's legs. If he had it should've been a free, but it seems he didn't make significant contact.

    Reading the afl injury list I saw that Freeman is now listed as indefinite with a hamstring injury that has plagued him for his first two years at Collingwood (might be a different leg to his original injury, not sure). I was pretty keen on him pre-draft with his explosive pace a highlight and was unsure about Salem at the time of drafting him. Suffice to say I'm happy having Salem on our list. Another win for Taylor.

    Correct, we bid pick 2 for Heeney and pick 3 for Mills this year

    Tigers are a mess.

    Cotchin is overrated.

    Agreed!

    but i think the pies have a good list, just not sure Buckley is a great coach

    Give me Jones anyday of the week over that pretender Cotchin

    Who is the worst player captaining an AFL side? 

    for mine Cotchin, Murphy and Swallow would be the top 3

    Can't wait to play either of these teams,and wasn't the filth rated a top 4 prospect at one stage?

     

    Whoever said that must have been on something.

    Pendles was pizzed at the ump?  Or a teammate? Should have been annoyed at himself if he was going to be annoyes at anyone.

    Ugly ugly game at this point. Every player looks rushed and making poor decisions.

    Goal kicking in the AFL is terrible. 

    Would be horrible for Grimes to have done his hammy again.

  • Quote

    looks like Grimes has done another hammy, poor bloke, good player ravaged by injuries

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
