He looked to be imposing himself and trying to intimidate. It was very deliberate. Gotta be a couple of weeks if the AFL is serious, but probably won’t be. You can’t try and impose yourself physically on an umpire. It’s just about the dumbest thing I’ve seen a footballer do in a while.

Yep. Totally unacceptable. Needs to be made an example of, as he often is and for good reason.

    Yeah, I'd suspend him for a week for directly bashing into an umpire, but to say he's a "disgrace to the game" is really poor. He and players like him elevate the game of AFL.

    Make it two weeks just to be sure.

    If you hate Geelong like I do then you want Sydney to win.  GWS without Greene and Green will struggle next week.  Swans will too but they look more likely to take it up to the Cats.  History shows the losing qualifiers win the second week.

    Gawn cops a free against him every time is does something similar to what Hickey just did in the ruck. 🤷🏼‍♂️

    GWS have stopped. Hope the Swans can get over the line, because the Giants scare me way more than them.

    Our game does have a history of champions who are also thugs. The thuggery tends to fade from memory as time goes by.

    By acting like sooky thugs???? I'd hardly call thuggery 'elevation'...

    What a game, well played to both teams.

    Exactly what finals football should be.

    • 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?

    • 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.
