There is a rule specifically prohibiting staging for a free kick.  Surely the MRP have the authority to review that decision and suspend him for that?  It was quite literally a dive. 

Yyaaaa like that will happen, even though the commentators all called it as a dive... I hark back to G a few a years ago, the Viney tackle on him the G fwd pocket.. Viney smashed him, he staged for a free, didn't get one then peaked out from under his hands the ball spill in his direction and miracle of miracles up he pops to kick one of the goals of the year.

At least two of his goals have been from weak free kicks in front of goal. 

Ok then ET

To be honest, I never even notice the umpiring.  It's so f/ed up that it's not worth worrying about.  In an odd way, it kinda evens itself out. 

It used to do my head in and now I don't care.

I hope that one day I can let go and not care about the umpiring.

It comes with age.

Or it doesn't.

Adelaide and Sydney grinding themselves down is far better than having Adelaide blow Geelong away, for a Richmond fan imo.

No....  he is not that detailed in his thought process.

Sydney you could argue were red hot favourites coming into finals.

They are currently getting flogged by Geelong

Richmond flogged Geelong last week

Therefore....

Cant believe how politically correct football has become.Punching a ball into the crowd and you give away 50metres.Afl is  overgoverned by [censored] umpires.

Blame the lefties, someone, somewhere may have been offended by the punch.

Wow 7 goals.  Who would have seen this coming especially a week ago. 

Just a shame they didn't do it a week ago and beat Richmond. 

Because tonights lousy Geelong MCG picnic atmosphere has been something you'd want in a prelim against GWS/WCE ?

How is Rohan on an AFL list let alone getting a game? Ginger on fire.

Currently has a 1.4 goal avg this year,  perhaps that? doesnt seem to do much else though. Goes missing a lot. Has a random game every now and then where he runs rampant.

4 goals to 3/4 time.....unbelievable really, and cats down a backman.....I cant figure out Geelong...but i REALLY cant figure out Sydney!

Much like us, if you put enough pressure on the midfielders they fall apart.  You'd almost think we have the same game plan or something.

It's not about political correctness, its about wasting time. If there was 10 seconds to go in a game, you'd probably want the ball in your players hand to deliver it inside 50 rather than having to wait for fans to dig it out from under their seats.

I gave the cats a chance tonight but never ever thought they would get out to this margin. 

Thankgod the swans played badly tonight and not last week. 

But I do admire the way geelong have responded. They were humiliated last week and they have come out tongiht to prove  apoint. 

Next week Danger going back to the adelaide in a prelim against his old team for a spot in the big one. That should add something to it.

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol
