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?

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

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
