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: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
