The final block at the end summed it up. 

Completely. If you can just run into someone and get a free kick with 2 minutes left on the clock and less than a kick in it, something’s horribly horribly wrong. Everyone sees it, and knows it. When will it become a properly discussed issue, scrutinised in the way it deserves? Amazing.

    Exciting game to watch but such a shame the umpiring was so poor.

    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. 

    Both Geelong and Bulldogs are allowed to throw with almost total impunity.   So it is more than the free kick totals - it also includes the missed ones.

    9+ free kicks for Bulldogs in hostile territory. They had all the tiggy touchwood ones go their way and some blatant ones missed against them.

    They're a danger this year simply because they get such a wonderful run from the umpires.

    I thought they'd be in trouble tonight given it was an away game, but they still smash it in frees. 

    Astounding.

    If I were a Brisbane supporter I would be spewing about that blocking free paid against McInerney at the centre bounce. He was basically penalised for using his ruck craft against a part time ruckman.  It was an awful call.

    Losing by a rushed behind - rough way to end the season.

    Surely none of those umpires get through to the PF stage, let alone the GF

    Port should belt them next week but Port also don't have much ticker. 

    Just imagine the ump favoritism if the Dogs make the GF again. It was sickening enough back in 2016. After tonight, it's clear they'll stop at nothing to get them over the line.

    That was two teams that don't know how to defend. Port should beat them next week

  • Quote

    Port would be licking their lips. Those two teams played a proper final and both got banged up.

    Unfortunately for us, we’re playing a team who had a Sunday stroll last night with an almost standard home and away game.

    Please don’t ever use this phrase.

    I know you don’t mean it literally, but it’s an awful turn of phrase.

    I'd like to see a commentator brave enough to call out the umpiring in Bulldogs games

    29 to 18 free kicks dogs way.

    Absolutely woeful performance by the umpires.

    Game is in damage control.

    No surprise to see the Bulldogs and Cats on top of the freekick differential ladder for the year

    Like Darcy? The guy was too busy cleaning up the mess under the commentator's desk to criticize anything that favoured his beloved Dogs.

    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.

    Can you not with the ‘rape them’

    You just have to love Aussie Rules Footy folks. Yeah some poor umpiring but the real stars are those guys on the field and they played their hearts out.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
