50 against the umpire for standing in the protected zone

It is a disgraceful rule that is so far in the opposite direction of being in the spirit of the game.

 
 

Is Viney injured? Haven’t seen him this quarter. 

 

Great quarter!!


Frost on the path to redemption, king of the north!

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE UMPIRES?! Fritsch gets front on contact, and then tripped, and it's play on! 

Someone jumps all over a dee and gets no where near the ball, and it's a mark to Heeney  

Go you good things !!!!!!!!

How is that possible???

no jinx, layzie

Very nearly jinxed us to smitherines 

I'm going to Jinx this. But Frost has actually been alright, he's been a quicker Garland with wobbly arms on Buddy and it's kinda worked.

No such rule as the front on spoil apparently, you can just be taken out while you are facing the ball.

Yep both were ridiculous. I support paying less free kicks generally, but 'cmon gotta pay the obvious ones

Yeah that was a shocker so obvious 

Next rotation off this Qtr for Oliver,  I want the Mfc coaches to rest Oli forward......... and send TMc into the middle for a rotation. Tmc to throw some weight around... legally !!!

Is he playing? Didn’t see him this quarter. I’m not being a smartarse I’m genuinely not sure.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
