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: 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.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • 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.
