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.

    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.

    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.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
