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. 

 

Dangerfield showing us what Petracca will be in a our F50 one day.

I just hate geelong. Dangerfield is the umpires pet. Lets see what shytney do in the 2nd half.

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.

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.

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.


Swans will be thrashed tonight

they had the chance to get back in the game but kicked points

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

Hope Adelaide smash the crap out of these turds next week, I detest the Geelong scum. Even though I might get abused for saying this, but I hope the Tigers make the GF too. ? ?

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.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

  • NON-MFC: Round 08

    Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
