I dont know why the sound of the umpires cannot be muted

    Hawkins gave away 50 just hanging around in the protected zone. No worries mate.

    Can Selwood dispose of the ball legally any more? Last 5 minutes all I've seen are throws, scoops and tunnels.

    This is the thing Mazer.

    During any game, umpires must see indiscretions that could be given as frees.

    How do they decide when/ which to pay?

    They carry a pin.

    It's so we respect their adjudications more.

    Hawks gameplan looks good. Playing quickly and moving it with pace through the midfield. Taking the game on. Similar to how Adelaide and Magpies played against us last year.

    But… but… it’s Essendon. ESSENDON. 🤮🤮🤮🤮

    Yep, and I always thought Essendon would be my true hate. But Geelong has it all:

    • Home town umpiring (thought it may end with televised games, but no)
    • Joel Selwood
    • Forwards who dive
    • Joel Selwood
    • Money thrown at the club because it's in a marginal seat
    • Joel Selwood
    • Shonky land deals
    • Families of footballers employed by Cotton On (see Judd and Visy)
    • Joel Selwood
    • Mogg's Creek
    • Chris Scott's cool beard 
    • The 5 or so chairs provided to opposition supporters

    But it's a TELEVISION INNOVATION

    All TELEVISION INNOVATIONS are Good Things and can't be changed back.

    Another great TELEVISION INNOVATION is the count down clock which adds nothing and only kills tension in a tight match,

    Its a shame this game is becoming primarily about the umpiring, otherwise the game has been good to watch.

    After Hawkins gave away the 50m penalty for infringing the protected area, he demonstrated with his hands out. It should have been another 50.

    Absolutely.... makes it a certain goal and possible outcome changer

    • 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.
