    Why was Charlie Cameron put on an angle there after marking in the goal square? Don't the umpires know the rules?

    Don’t we all know that?

    We need to finish 4th to meet cats in QF which is highly unlikely. 2nd or 3rd only. With cats on top.

    96 point loss for Marc Murphy in his final game.

    Poor guy. He's been a warrior for the Blues in the same way Jones has been for us. 

    Hey DJ . . . I love you  . . . . . but . . . . . .

    Jones is in another football universe compared to Murphy. For a number one draft pick, Murphy has been 'good ordinary' at best.

    So. Assuming we win tomorrow (I know, I know), if we lose next week and Port beat Doggies, we’re off to Adelaide. Fate in our hands and all that. Unless Dogs beat Port, which they will….maybe…..not….probably….aaaaah, who the [censored] knows. 🤯

    Dogs need to be careful. If Brisbane win big tonight, there is a chance Dogs could end up 5th if they lose to Port

    To win tomorrow and sew up top 3 would be mint. I’m guess dogs beat port week after so even if we lose to port we finish 2nd at worst to Geelong and I think play dogs week 1? Dogs are gettable now as are Geelong. Port looking dangerous over there but it was Carlton. Halcyon days ahead friends !

    The Jones vs Murphy comparison is a reminder that no matter how bad you have it, someone has it worse.

    As bad as it has been, no way Jones swaps his career for Murphy's.

    What about the staging? Any word on Hawkins?

    Both will get off under the “Innocent Cat veteran” rule.

    Lol Dangerfield could get reported for striking and the end result would be the other guy gets weeks for head-butting his fist.

    As for the Cats and Carlton (the time of my last post), if something is too good to be true then usually it is. Carlton stopped dead.

    Both arms pinned in the tackle and slams his head into the ground causing concussion. He was unable to protect himself as he fell and therefore Hawkins had duty of care not to cause head injury. Would be 2 weeks if named Neal-Bullen

    Can someone with a better understanding of the rules explain to me how this play by Hawkins isn't a free kick for taking his eyes off the ball in a marking contest?

    Thought the same at the time. Almost an old fashioned shirt front isn't it?

    Not going for the ball at all. How he gets away with it is beyond comprehension

    Didn't Steven May give away a free kick doing exactly this?

    mmmmm

    could Brisbane unseat the Bulldogs (now that is doing a melbourne)

    percentage is a difficult thing because it requires a calculation  of for and aginst but it strikes me that a win by more than 60 sets up a fascinating last round

    And what's his first reaction? Throw arms up, fall backwards to try and win a free himself. He's a deadset germ, how the players have voted for him as their rep is beyond me.

    I don't think they are the GMHBA rules Mazer.

    Maybe the ump was blindsided while standing 3m away from the incident?

    • 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.

    • 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.
