Twice we were awarded free kicks around defensive 50, with the dogs player holding the ball far too long, allowing all their players to get back. Both should've been 50 metre penalties, yet neither was paid.

I thought the whole point of the 50 metre penalty was to prevent players from slowing play down. If channel 7 wants more goals they should be into the AFL to get these things right, not fixing the draw.

    Still a few mystifying decisions from "the munchkin" but I think he's warming to us.

    What's he got to complain about? He gets kissed on the dick down Kardinia Park.

    Funny you should mention that. He was also asked whether or not sides in Perth, Adelaide and Geelong get a home ground advantage with the umpires, his response was definitely yes and that when you have a large proportion of the crowd cheering for one side it influences decisions.

    Is this the turning point for the year? MFC loves umpires and vice versa?

    And when you consider they let in 12 supporters from other clubs to watch matches down there.

    i hated the brayshaw-razor high five

     

    Was there any perceptible evenness afterwards or did we just run away with it then?

    It shows how petrified players have become about idiotic decisions by umpires that Gus has said:

    "It's funny. People might not believe it, but I didn't intentionally kick it out of bounds," Brayshaw told AFL.com.au.

    when it was so obviously not a skill error but a titanic skill disaster.

    By umpiring standards I didn't think they did a bad job yesterday. It is the port game that gets up my youknowwhat where they cost us the game. And on the harmes handball at the start of the game I thaught the umpires got it right. He was too far out and it was deliberate. Closer to goal it isn't a problem.

    I did read in breakdown of free kicks given to all teams ....Melb received the most goals from frees in their forward 50...(courtesy ofHerald Sun)

    Thanks to Deestar9. We will have to find a new conspiracy theory.

    I thought that was the right call. Brayshaw was going to kick and then pulled out of it but it was too late.

    Razor won't be washing his hand for a month.

    One of the funniest things that I have seen during a game.??

    Very much so.

    You could tell how chuffed the Raz was. I reckon he's following Gus around everywhere now, Cable Guy style.

    The razer/Gus low five was an uplifting Footy Moment where our great game displayed its real values. Two participants recognising and acknowledging the lighter side of the game.

    There should be more.

    Could not believe that Pannell maggot umpired our game tonight after spending time down at Geelong training during the week.

    The AFL is so poorly run it is scary

    Just an observation, I am not blaming umpires for our loss tonight -  thats squarely on the shoulders of our spineless team.

    No he did last night.

    In answer to my own question the answer is NO. We proved tonight all things being equal we will have no trouble beating cats in future.

    Another disgraceful performance tonight from the maggots. That's what bringing down the maggots to training does for you, along with abusing the crap out of them after the game by a sooky coach in an aging team of wingers. Other than that, a very entertaining spectacle.

    Umps didnt lose it for us vs Geelong. We had out chances to seal it late in the 4th

    What!!!????

    What about the mysterious ruck free to Hawkins for a goal, the chopped arms ( still a mark ) to TMac dead in front, and the 50 against Harmes as he desperately tried to get away, resulting in a goal???

    Also there was a trip by a Geelong player diving on the ball, also dead in front.

    We were lucky on one occasion when Jetta interfered running back with the flight, though he tried to watch the ball.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
