Full sentence.

Noise of Affirmation. Yesterday's match was the 47th time West Coast have received more free kicks than the opposition in games umpired with Dean Margetts, 7 times both teams have received the same amount of frees and 15 times West Coast have received less free kicks than the opposition.

 

If thats not corruption and match fixing then what is?

Margetts inspires them to play fairly. When they see him in the middle their faces light up with resolve to play exactly to the rule book.

    Well I know its only half way through but Gc having a crack. Would be a great upset for us.

    Go Gees.

    Not sure that Suns being only half a game behind us is a great result for us.

    Sure it opens up overtaking Richmond but there's no difference in where a team finishes in 4-8 as at present they are all Melbourne teams.

    I don't think this will end up being a close one. GC will run out of steam.

    Is Lynch going to get a week at least, for his third punch behind play, putting a guy down and out of the play?

    Of course not ... he plays for a big club, so that's ok.

    Blues set up for an easy win, playing a tired Suns off a 4 day break.

  • Quote

    Well that's the end of the Suns... 2 points from 5 matches

    Interesting tactics from the Tigers...played the boundary and rarely tried to switch or go inside.

    Shades of a team not confident in its abilities. Key forwards and big men keeping them in it.

    Dusty had a quiet night.

    Tigers would need to improve to get to the big dance.

    Agreed and at the same time Collins is making a name for himself

    The cynic in me says that one could be forgiven for thinking that the AFL would "loooove" to have two QLD teams in the Finals seeing that's where many of the games will be played

    Gold Coast cop Richmond with four extra days' rest, then they have to back up on a 4-day break when Carlton has two extra days. Tough stuff.

    Tom Lynch is a bit of a dog.

    Margetts is a self proclaimed Eagles supporter who has regularly attended their training sessions. This is a known fact in Perth. The Eagles supporters know it. Everyone seems to know except the AFL.

    Hardwick is taking over from C. Scott on the coaches whinging ladder. 

    If its not ops free kicks, its offensive remarks about Syd ? defence tactics and now its shooting off because the media dares take his protected little darlings to task hardwick-lashes-out-at-lynch-critics-says-richmond-targeting-should-stop

    He takes quite a swipe at our Schwartz:  "They should have a good, hard look at themselves as I guarantee a few guys making comments, and I'm looking at David Schwarz here – I played a grand final against this bloke and 20 minutes into the game he was crying, so he should have a look at himself at some stage."

    Nasty, Nasty, Mr Hadwick.  I guess a leopard never changes its spots.

    Tbh, that is pretty stupid and pretty low for an AFL coach to shoot off at the mouth like that.

    They have become mighty smug and entitled at Tiger land.  IHope they go out in the Elimination Final.

    Edit: 

    Update:

    "But Schwarz told Foxfooty.com.au he wasn’t concerned with the comments, which were cut out of the press conference video clip on Richmond’s website".

    Club embarrased by their coaches comments.

    Very Ordinary comment there from Hardwick. 
    he is backing himself into a corner here

    That same Grand Final we had guys in Hospital before the game was over, and that does not include Troy Simmonds

    F U Damien...

    I reckon Ox will go ballistic when he hears the comments. 

    It is a low insulting blow from Hardwick, to a player that was as tough as they come both physically and mentally to play thru his injuries.

    Edit: classy response by the Ox: 

    “For Dimma to get personal, that’s his decision if he wants to do that...

    “I’m a big boy. I stand by what I said and I didn’t take it personally what Dimma said. He might have remembered the Grand Final differently because he was a winner. It’s a long time ago and I haven’t watched it back...

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
