    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.

    he should have been reported for what he did deliberately to gawn

    we could have easily lost gawny for the rest of the finals

    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.

    The Grub of The Year Award the last 6 years has been Toby Greene and this bloke second, daylight the rest of the field.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • 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.
