Nah, he's pointing at his direct opponent, who is less than 2 metres away, demonstrating that he's legally allowed where he is.

    Raises both arms, as if he's trying to block Kent from kicking. Which led me to panic, even if he was able to follow Steele.

    Great, another thing that could have potentially broken our hearts! Turf the protected zone.

    Lol, it really is amazing how quick our brains switch into MFCSS mode in the dying seconds of a close game with us in front. Must admit I was even pleading with Melksham not to do anything stupid on the mark after giving the free kick away before the Kent mark.

    We've all seen too much haven't we Dee Zephyr! I was having flashes of Joey Montagna breaking the line and running into the open goal in those dying seconds!

    But isn't Kent already moving off his line so play on? He quickly wheels onto his left foot

    I love the food in China! So many choices and different styles of cuisine that we never get to see here. 

    Not my cup of tea. Give me Japanese or Vietnamese food over Chinese any day.

    And just quietly no wonder Freo are struggling. Last year they lost Langdon and Brad Hill. The year before Lachie Neale. That is a lot of talent to walk out of the place. 

    I reckon it's a pretty big indictment on Ross Lyon as a coach. Two of the best wingers in the game and Neale has been a star for a while now.

    I'm sorry, but what a dumb player. I didn't notice this at the time, but bloody hell, it's pretty clear, isn't it?

    I think the umpire has to call "play on" before the player on the mark can move over it. Depending on the quickness of the umpire, that does give the player with the ball a small advantage. I'm OK with that...the player making the play should have that advantage.

    I don't know how you can make such a sweeping generalisation.  I love some Japanese food and some Vietnamese food and some Chinese food.  Having been married to a Japanese person for over 20 years and having traveled there numerous times, I am more than familiar with the many different dishes (many of which are not to be found here)... some of which are, to my taste, inedible (try the dried fish called Kusaya, or Nama-ko which is a raw sea cucumber dish.  What we get here is just a fraction of what is available in those countries... particularly Chinese food (in China) as there are so many distinctly different regional dishes... and of course, to my tastes, some are almost inedible as well.

    Anyway, how can we tie this in to post game discussion... kicking around the foodie's football?

    To be fair, he was playing under excruciating circumstances.

    Can you image this site melting down had Kent got the 50 and kicked the winning goal against his old team?

    Little bit of Viney bias there, AF.  And slightly harsh to call him 'dumb'.

    Watch it in real time.  He pops the arms up with enough lean towards Steele that it not only holds Kent up for that extra second or two, but Viney can then also move further towards and then run with Steele, and thus he doesn't bring any attention to himself.

    Giving away the free kick was stupid enough.

    I did not realise that was a free kick at the time. Assumed it was on tbe full.

    What was it for?

    Clearly the Chinese hate us, they are the Nazis of the 21st century. The proof is being stuck up our noses on numerous occasions over the last six months. Nothing to do with racism. I have an Asian son in law and two half Asian grand children who I love dearly so don’t pull that BS on me.

    I spent a bit of time in Yokosuka about 15 years ago, my favourite dish was Okonomiyakie (hopefully correct spelling). I hope to get back there one day and do some travelling. From there I went to Vladivostok where I almost got kidnapped, didn’t mind the food though.

    Well, fair enough then.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
