Disgraceful isn’t it. 
If the Umpire had called that out, for what it was, Respect would be shown

As it is they look weak and incompetent. They probably feared they'd get a memo from the AFL management & steering committee (Channel 7) asking them what planet they're on when a star of the game (RATING$) can be penalised.

The biggest staging of recent years gets a goal from a free and 50 and cops no fine. Tom Hawkins does it again.

I give up. The MRO is just a joke.

Red, I've made this point many times recently on Demonland.

I no longer try try to understand free kicks , I've also given up on the MRO.

Just try and enjoy the footy - the other stuff is beyond comprehension. ( at least mine)

When I'm at a game I'm constantly asking my companions - " What was that free for" or "why wasn't that paid " or " Why was/wasn't that a 50"?

FMD !

Tom Hawkins frequent pushes in the back finally in the spotlight. It becomes rule of the week. Beneficiary? Tom Hawkins via a dive.

Absolute [censored].

Other than our winning lately, I don’t really enjoy the game anymore and I blame the AFL for that loss of enjoyment.

McKay cops a fine for being bumped and falling over and this bloke launches into a space orbit, after a hand on his arm, after he initiates contact and gets off Scott free.

well to be fair, red, it is his brother's favourite player after all

,

So blatant staging is showing respect to umpires now. 

If I was harry McKay I would be giving the AFL a ring to see if I can grab that refund they owe him

I especially love the blatant push in the back in the ruck contest by the Geelong ruckman before it went straight forward to Hawkins. Ironic Moronic


The AFL has only themselves to blame for dwindling attendance and participation

Carry on like this and it won’t get better, it’ll get worse. 
 

The blatant cheating, favoritism and inconsistent ruling on just about everything is ruining the game.

As a scientifically-trained professional having majoring in physics, Hawkins staging defies Newtons laws of motion unless he propels himself. No way does the Hawks defender shove a 103kg weight into orbit in the manor of Hawkins flight path.

Tom's a marvel at staging and the AFL/MRO system is scandalously incompenent.

Next we'll all be told , as spectators, we Boo too much. But gee its hard sometimes.

Go Dees.


I'm having a chuckle at everyone potting Essendon. Matthew Lloyd teed off at them and said he went along as a supporter and had a crack and now every media commentator has just written them off. Hope there misery continues. 

It's nice to be barracking for a club that is flying.

I agree it's nice, but gees they have had a really hard draw first up.

If they had Freo's draw in the first 5 rounds they would probably be 3-2 and nobody would say a thing.

Nah. They only run one way and jog the other

the Shockers have played some good Footy

Probably, but after all the chest puffing about making finals last year and "being robbed" in the EF, they & their media fanboys declared themselves February premiers. Only team able to dethrone them were the March premiers.

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
