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.

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
