Riewoldt is doing it to the player next to him as well. Unsure why that wasn’t also reported on. 

I'm sure we all know why

    Best spin I’ve seen since Warney’s leg breaks by Ward but hey, it’s the Dons. 

    As much as I hate the Bummers, I hope Ward gets a hefty fine for that effort... worse than Papley’s in as far as it directly impacted the result

    God this is weird.  Id be surprised if Chol wasnt angry about it.  If anyone stuck their finger in my bum they'd be knocked out cold on the spot.  And I didnt even mentioned the constant penis grabbing.  

    What does everyone else think?  Watch the video before you comment

    I saw it when they sang the song last week and I thought how weird. What possesses another person to do that. But it has happened more than once. I mean if I'm Short or Vlastuin I'd look back and think why would I do that. Would I really want someone doing that to me. Just sing the song and be done with it. But I kind of like how Dimma got taken to task on it. I bet after the presser there was a bit of scrambling going on to see what happened.

    It has not gone unnoticed

    Big Footy board (general) has a lively discussion as does the Tigers sub forum

    I noticed a post that it's now in the hands of the AFL integrity unit... (no I cannot comment)

    Essendon losing no matter the margin always makes for a good weekend when it’s under a goal with a dodgy free kick just makes it a little sweeter.

    Does Ward deserve a fine for his dive? I’m in two minds, I hate divers but I also love seeing Essendon lose after a dodgy free kick is paid against them.

    And here's the Richmond apology...

    Richmond's statement released later on Friday said: "It had become aware of some player behaviour during post-match team songs recently that is unacceptable and not in line with the club or community expectations."

    "It was a stupid action and I am deeply embarrassed. I've apologised to Mabior," Vlastuin said.

    "It was unacceptable behaviour and a poor example," Short said.

    It’s been an interesting discussion post game on Fox ht. Ward himself said he played it well because he knew contact was coming. At first glance it looked like over exaggerating post contact. 

    Interesting to see if they do fine him, because if they do are they admitting an umpire error possibly cost a team the game? It can’t be a free and staging at the same time. I don’t necessarily blame the ump in this instant, it all happens quick out there.

    A good ump would just put the whistle away and let the game play out.

    There's not many of those around.

    Close results aside that was an atrocious game.

    It was played on the boundary line. Ball was out maybe 60-70% of the time. Strangely it was almost always on the camera side of the ground

    Same for so many games.

    I watched the F1 warm up (very boring) and then skipped through the game(kayo 30 second jump is wonderful).

    I don’t watch non MFC matches these days aside from the occasional Essendon match when they are a chance to lose. I stopped last night half through the 3rd when they were well up. Best start to the day to wake up this morning and find they got rolled. 

    (My other guilty pleasure is Scully leaving Melbourne when we were [censored], going to a [censored] GWS and finally settling on a [censored] Hawthorn. Yes I know he is filthy rich)

    Ward free was there

    Russian judge gave him an 8.8 for the pirouette midair

    It was definitely there - hip to neck - but he did make the most of it.

    The thing that scares me about the run home is we are playing our classic bogey teams  (North, Pies, St Kilda, Doggies).

    We seem to always lose to them no matter how well we are traveling.  Especially bloody North and the Saints.

    That's assuming of course, that all of those teams above us from 5th to 11th lose their games - signed, The Wet Blanket ?

    Doggies losing today would help our cause.   The other 3 teams playing today are irrelevant to us, they will all finish top 4.   Just need the Lions to get the job done.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
