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

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?
