I don’t like him

    I hate it but glass houses and all that. Spargo and Kozzie have been guilty of the exact same thing this year.

    LOL post-match when Hodge asked Mitch Robinson about Mathieson’s antics. Of course he’s gonna not only condone it but actively encourage it, coz Mitch Robinson. ?

    He deserves brownie points for getting under Richmonds skin. He also played arguably his best game for the Lions.

    Lachie Hunter and Toby McLean from the Dogs are two others who do the same thing and it's annoying but it's the afls fault for refusing to knock it on the head years ago when Selwood started exploiting this tactic

    My opinion is make them pay if they do it. A strong round arm tackle that cops a guy in the head because he ducks into may make him think twice about doing it again.

    As mentioned above, umpires need to be held accountable and their performance reviewed.

    Rules are already there for ducking and staging. They're not enforced.

    This whole interepative rule of the week to be enforced swill is making the game look as stupid as Rugby Union.

    The fact Selwood has got away for it for so many years is not Selwoods fault.

    Yep especially Kozzie, it’s about the only thing, he needs to get out of his game, he’s to good for that sort of thing.

    Spargs does go in low but l don’t think he’s looking for a free

    AFL need to look into Marlion Pickett but not for ducking

    Rhys "Beast Mode" Mathieson was said to call himself the barometer. I guess that's compensation for playing the medi-sub seven games in a row.

    Surely he has to be one of if not the most over-hyped and useless players in the system. It's a shame to hear the commentators even give him a moment's chat.

    I'm tempted to say I'm glad he played against us, he wasn't damaging at all (from a football perspective). However, he had a tendency to lay the knees into backs, knock off heads with late contact, and bodyline Gawn with no intent for the ball. I look forward to the day he's delisted.

    Should be reported for that, but won't be because the TV commentators ignored it.

    The front on hit to Gawn was appalling. No intent to even contest the ball, just wanted to break Gawns ribs. Should’ve been reported for that. Not in the spirit of the game at all.

    Mathieson is just a [censored] footballer and a [censored] bloke. What kind of arrogant piece of [censored] calls themselves the barometer or the beast, especially when they’re a fringe player who can barely get a game. Pathetic individual. Glad his serial ducking didn’t earn him more free kicks last night. He is the exact thing wrong with the sport. Cheating grub and a [censored] footballer who thinks he’s gods gift to the world. Hopefully he gets delisted and winds up stacking shelves. [censored].

    Ditto from me. Harsh at the end but I get the sentiment.  Lots of average blokes playing suburban footy get in and don’t shirk or play for the ump to give them a free kick. Grub.

    Agreed, intentional and gutless.

    Seeing that mugs face and him twitching in line before the start of the game was another omen that happened before the start of the game that gave me heart we would win. Told the Brissy supporter at work, he plays we win.

    If he was born 300 years ago he'd bluff his way all the up to be the Kings pizz boy.

    Wee are amused by this observation.

    However, in poker terms, he's more your pair of twos than a royal flush.

    He's a disruptor. Plays the game as a rule bender and to an extent thats ok but it goes too far time and time again. It could have been a very bad injury so I would have thought he'd get sighted at least.

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
