    Free kick to Cameron there in front of goal....clearly being held

    Umpires not having their best night. Looking to pay free kicks and getting as many wrong as they get right.

    They've lost the plot. Nothing new there I guess.

    Are the maggots under instruction to get GW$ into the Prelim?

    Certainly looked like it.

    Yes that was my thought toward the end of that second quarter. Let’s see how we go in the next half but come what may I think the umpires have had a shocker so far. Paying some very marginal frees but missing the obvious.

    Umpires telling players how to play. THAT IS NOT YOUR JOB

    If a player goes over the limit then pay a free, Charlie Cameron has a bad arm, but it was his decision to come back on.

    Would love to have Hipwood playing for us.  Weid is in a similar playing role and similar stage in his career but seems to be so far off impacting on a regular basis like this young up and comer.  Reads the ball so well and great overhead.  Works hard to get front position and to get separation on his opponent for the hit up.

    First line correct - but they do it all the time.  Second line: why he is on the field is irrelevant. AFL must be the only code where the players, officials and commentators have never bothered to read the rules.     The commentators' discussion about what's acceptable is a laugh.  Here's a simple way to avoid it.  Any contact which is deliberate and does not involve trying to get the ball, tackling, shepherding etc should be prohibited contact whether players are injured or not. Would cut out stupid niggling which has nothing to do with footy skills.

    Nothing wrong with testing out your opponent. Always been a part of the game

    Worst thing about it is the dribble we'll hear from the commentators about it now.

    Maybe, but these constant elbows to the ribs and the kidneys are unnecessary.

    The holding the ball in the middle.  Complete show pony.  Always wanting to be the center of attention.  [censored]

    Tomlinson watch:

    5 possessions and just directly cost his side a goal with a kick into the man on the mark.

    Me thinks he’s mentally checked out.

    Clearly two very different versions of holding the ball. 

    Who is 35 GW$?   Just throwing elbows to the larynx then kneed same guy in the head when on the ground. Dirty dog.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
