Around The Grounds - ROUND 16

Hodge lazily kicks off the ground for a rushed behind under little pressure - not paid deliberate. 

Good to see the script being followed nice and early. 

 
 

Well done to the Power fans in booing Hodge.

I like it alot.

Two sets of rules going on here. How many gifted goals to the Dorks off 50/50 frees? When you play away at a cauldron like Adelaide usually the local side gets the run of the decisions, not tonight. 

 


OMG this OOB rule is crap. ?Gibson could only knock the ball forward and the boundary line was in front of him.  What else could he do?  

(Hate to complain in favour of Hawks but that was crap)!

Anyone noticing the dropping of the knees of Hawthorn No 5?

Milking a free or cowardly assault on an opponent?

 

Hodge knee in guts going against the flight of the ball to a port player waiting for the ball. Play on. WTF.

Like I said, following the script.


Disgraceful umpiring again destroying the game...lucky I've recorded Rake, just about to turn it over.

...as for Bruce and Hamish.

One of the most over-umpired games I've ever seen.

Another free in front of goal for the Dorks. Unbelievable. The umpires have lost it completely, they are overturning decisions all over the place. 

Dodgy decisions both ways at the minute.  Hawks getting a good rub but the umpires are giving Port a few cheapies as well.

Been a while since I've seen such an over umpired game.

I flicked over to Rake. Not a good episode..

I hate Hawthorn.

I hate those umpires who obviously have money on Hawthorn.

I hate that AAMI commercial with the little fat ugly girl wearing glasses making squeaking notices on her recorder. Unbelievably annoying

Can't believe I almost forgot to say I hate McAveney's demented shrill..

A forensic analysis of certain umpires' premiership betting accounts could prove 'interesting' were it possible. 

My son is an umpire so I almost always go in to bat for them - a very hard job in any level of competition. But the umpiring in the Port v Hawks game has been very poor and without any doubt, favouring the Hawks.

The ruck infringement  for blocking - how can you block in the ruck without making any contact? 

Hodge running back and lifting his knee causing a major injury,  all before he made contact with the ball - no free kick at all. 

Somethin not right here. 

Nothing wrong with what Hodge did. Boak would have done exactly the same thing if he was in that situation. And I would expect Nathan Jones to do the same.

Hodge is a filthy, filthy barstad.

The problem is that most players might do that with the right intentions, but I have no doubt whatsoever that Hodge goes out of his way to hurt people.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
