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.

    I hope Port rape them. 

     

    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.

    Imagine if that was us tonight on the losing end. You’d be burning the joint down. I’m so furious and I don’t even care that much!

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
