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.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
