I'm happy to have anyone that loves it explain to me how an umpire can simultaneously watch the kicker for a play on, while watching the man on the mark.

Can't be done, unless we start hiring four eyed, cross eyed umpires.

If one really thinks more about it in an evolutionary way, maggots metamorphosise into blowflies, which have compound eyes, so possibly not quite so far fetched as first appears. 
 

On the Hawkins issue, I can’t remember which case but the MRO and or tribunals have very clearly said, if you pin the arms and the head hits the ground you are guilty. I guess they will do a  Donut Dan on this one - “don’t remember”

    Watching Essendon play on Channel 7 the last month you’d be forgiven for thinking they’re 5 games clear on top of the ladder.

    Eagles are looking flat as a tack after their big game vs Melbourne 6 days ago.

    Shows the effort it took to get up after flying back from that game.

    Qtr time scoreline looks promising.  If the finals have to be in Perth it would be so sweet if WC weren't in them

    Yea. Glad you mentioned it.

    That game was a huge slog in the rain and had to take its toll.

    Given what freo are doing to weagles ipso facto..... our win today was better than it seemed.

    So bizarre watching our game with zero crowd and now the Derby with nearly full house and great atmosphere.

    I am bloody envious.

    Yea it hurts but even if we can't get to finals this year I'm just so glad and proud of our club this year.

    How good is footy when your winning?

    Watching the Derby and the crowd involvement and I would say that after the first two weeks of the finals, the rest will be played at Optus Stadium. No chance in Victoria.

    They should just close the joint and move them to Tassie.

    Loving the Derby at the "Boo Stadium". The booing by Freo fans is just brilliant against the masters of booing. Laughing my head off. Oh the joys of cheap white wine.

    Yuck it looks like essenscum will now play finals.

    Seriously how bad are west coast? They are losing to a Freo team that barely have any players. They are just injury riddled

    Fremantle are going to a serious team when they get their players back and their youth develops. They play the right way

  • Quote

    Since when did Fox start putting ads up at ball ins   They forget to remove them when the play starts too often and with their overuse of closeups it blocks my view of when the players last  shaved

    Just announced on seven news they expect Hawkins to not be cited due to the Holman case, difference is though saints player had both arms pinned so can’t protect yourself

    The media are starting the spin re the Hawkins incident. 

    the MRO will come back with no weeks. Apparently a spin was involved. [censored] me. I’m usually against conspiracy theory stuff but that is BS. Far worse than the Holman tackle

    Exactly what I was about to post!!! I can’t believe they’re comparing a one-arm-pinned tackle to a two-arms-pinned tackle. There’s no justification.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      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.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • 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.
