Luckiest side in the footy world.  

I’m not sure how lucky it is when you consistently get the umpiring advantage. I just don’t get how this keeps happening. It’s an objective embarrassment.

    Port must be licking their lips

    The final block at the end summed it up. 

    2016 being repeated is a decent bet.

    What happened to "putting the whistle away" in finals? You don't see that many [censored] free kicks pulled out of thin air in H&A!

    Brisbane have every right to be seething over that. I've never seen a more blatant example of match fixing from umpires than tonight's game, and they got the result they wanted.

    Gee that was as deliberate as you’d like, umps decided that one big time.

    We’ve got no hope if the Dogs beat Port.

    And we play the AFLs love child

    Was about to post the same thing.
    Usually finals umpiring is better that the H&A.

    Looking towards next week I’m a little nervous, the umpires two favourite teams in Bulldogs and Cats through to prelim, we’re going to have to make sure we’re 10 goals up in the last quarter. 😓

    So a physically exhausted Bulldogs, minus Weightman and Bont vs Port. Could be one sided.

    And Lions out in straight sets again - is that two years in a row?

    Felt for the Big Oscar Mac, he was one of their best and after 100 ruck contests he gets done for a block in the last centre bounce. How stiff!

    Umpires [censored] the bed late.

    That wasn't a mark to Bont, clearly second to the ball.

    That shouldn't have been a free kick against McCarthy, jostling like that in the forward line happens all the time.

    And was that really a block free kick against McInerney?

    (meanwhile Zac Bailey might have ran too far for his goal at the end...)

    Gotta get past their other love child next week 1st.

    We can beat the opposition, but we can’t beat umpires. Hope doggies don’t get any further so we don’t have to cop the bad umps. 60+ more free kicks than the next closest team. It’s outright cheating and cannot be argued any other way.

    The umpires handed them the momentum for their final goal and final point. Legit won them the match. Cheats.

    Same thing happened at almost every centre bounce. Was only called a free kick when the umps needed to help the Dogs over the line (and it proved the crucial point that got them home).

    Great game despite the umpiring. Proper finals football. Lions and their supporters will be filthy

    Meanwhile Brisbane over the last three years have finished top 4 three times for a 1-5 record in finals (all bar one of those finals have been at the Gabba) and two straight sets exits.

    We can’t go on like this. Clubs need to get together and call this out. It’s blatant cheating and it’s ruining the game.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
