I’ve never been so sure that the umpires were trying to influence a match than tonight’s Geelong vs Port match.

    Has an umpire ever called play-on for a player taking too long kicking at goal before?

    Geelong win again thanks to the umpiring and their fans will, once again, celebrate like complete [censored] jockey's.

    An unbelievable decision.  As he was lining up a host of Geelong players were signalling for 'play on' and encroaching on the mark before it was even called.  Can't believe it.

    Come on Dixon kick straight for [censored] once. 

    Was that a crooked kick or did he just lack the balls to go for goal?

    Last week the Umpires didn't call Ben Brown to play on, 40 seconds into his set shot.

    They were correct tonight.

    incorrect last week.

    He was asked to play on as he was lining up for goal and didn't realise until almost 3 Geelong players were tackling him.  He had to quickly give it off and the rest is history.  Port were robbed.

    Port were absolutely robbed.

    Umpires have ruined this once great game. Cheating [censored] scum

    Yeah but he’s from North Melbourne so he obviously doesn’t count as an AFL footballer.

    Watching the countdown clock on Sunday and I reckon most time players from both sides went over time. I assumed that the rule was mainly a common sense thing. Once again umpires have proved that common sense isn't all that common. That was borderline cheating!

    Cannot wait for these flogs to topple down the ladder. All it will take is a Selwood or Dangerfield injury.

    They did more ducking and diving than a bloody duck.

    Give me the shits more than any other team I reckon.

  • Quote

    It's really sad, but terrible one-sided umpiring is really starting to make me like the game less. Cats got handed that win, umpires folded every time the crowd made a noise. Selwood still ducks his way to free kicks regardless did of an attempt to stamp it out. I just want consistently umpired games, is that so bloody much to ask!?

    Should have been a 50 metre penalty prior to the call of play on.  Umpire was looking right at it as well.  Pathetic from the umpires.

    This is exactly right. Brown used his full 30 seconds and THEN he began his approach. And tonight the umpires get trigger happy with Dixon. My God I hate the AFL. We were completely screwed (even as we screwed ourselves).

    Find if hard to believe Danger's kick wasn't touched. Somehow miraculously weaved it's way between the port player's arms and torso. Not even reviewed. 

    Talk about letting the crowd atmosphere drive the result.

    Must be rule of the week the umpires have obviously been told to keep an eye on the 30 seconds, Ben brown takes 30 seconds just to run in

    Every goal is reviewed but port players never claimed it was touched, they would have been going nuts if they knew they touched it

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
