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

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
