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.

    Come on Hawks! Do it for Jack’s 200th. I like Jack Gunston 🙂

    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: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      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?
