That was blatant cheating last night to get the bombers home. You cant tell me they dont try and even up the competition to make it look better.

I guess we all see things differently, God Bless these Bombers fans on their footy page. Not even on Demonland do I believe we would stoop to ‘bin juice’ delusional levels if there was such a huge discrepancy in our favour.

‘See, I don’t think the umps were kind at all. I don’t think they paid us a single free that wasn’t a blatant free. On the other side I reckon they didn’t pay a couple of genuine ones against Richmond that cost us 3 goals at least’.

    If port lose to the filth today then watch the umps stick a needle into the druggies next week so they can have a SA team in finals.

    Hardwick frustrated by lack of free kicks for his team in win over Essendon

    Hopefully, Simon Goodwin can also say much the same after we beat West Coast tomorrow because 27 - 15 would be a good outcome for a team traveling to Perth to play the Eagles.

    Haven't read the article, but notice off one bad game with frees and even though on top of the ladder, Hardwick is into the umpires , putting them on notice for future games. Clarkson, the Scotts and several others do it but not us.

    Yep. Maybe getting a bit nasty, would trickle down to the players.

    Because we're pissweak. Like the team itself, we just roll over and take it.

    The Melksham "non block"springs to mind as something that should have been questioned but as usual nothing. A bit like hanging Oliver out to dry last year when the umpires continuously called him for throwing the ball. In so many areas we are irrelevant.

    Where for example is our view on the priority picks. As the team most recently denied such a pick our public stance is very relevant...but nothing.

    Yep, this infuriates me. And you just know both those clubs will be looked after.

    Desperately hoping for a Collingwood win today. That way we if we win tomoz, Port can’t go ahead of us and we’re in the finals.

    Two Port wins and 1 Sydney win means we’re going to be in a percentage battle with Geelong, and I’m not particularly interested in missing the finals by 0.5% again

    Geelong won't make up 13% and finish on the same points as us (because that means they'll drop a game or we win a game)

    Today, we are all Freo.

    Ross the Boss will be going down to Geelong to win and end their season.   A Nat Fyfe masterclass is on the cards.  Get it done, Dockers.

    To be fair, a couple of those are related to one match/incident. What about the other 15 games we've been totally rogered?

  • Quote

    I think I counted three incidents he was responding to.  (Maybe a I forgot to paste one).

    At any rate, if he complained about the umpires every week he’d start to look like a Scott brother.  Their whinging has made zero difference to their teams outcomes and people no longer pay attention because it is so regular.

    People listen when Clarkson makes a complaint because a) he is one of the best and most respected coaches of all time and b) because he does it so sparingly.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
