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.

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.

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.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
