Umps have got black and yellow jocks on tonite but the swans have been dreadful. Be interesting to see what happens with Franklin. probably a slap on wrist.

    Commentators already angling to get him off. Saying it was an open hand. Looked like a fist to me. They have too much influence on the tribunal and MRP. Seems to be a pattern.

    Daisy Pearce is a very good commentator.

    Not a great start to the Bloods.  A long way to go though

    Richmond getting their mojo back. One last shot before the band moves on? Martin back makes a real difference, he's their talisman.

    He shouldn’t be. This is going to be really interesting with the MRO.  He fair and square punched Cotchin in the jaw. So we will see what the MRO deems to be the issue, the action or the consequence. Did Viney hurt Collins? No, but he got 2 weeks.

    Clear cut ... except for who it is.  Chandler would have been giver 4 weeks for that.

    First was an open hand, but the second was a clenched fist without any doubt.  But of course that [censored] Christian will say "insufficient impact" or some other BS excuse.

    The "on the line" call from the umps for a player standing the mark after an OOTF is such a dumb rule/call given the player kicking is never lined up and forced to kick over the mark (as he should be) to start off with.

    The player kicking in starts off well inside the mark of the player on the line and is effectively in an instant "play on" position from the time he is handed or picks up the ball but the player on the mark must stand on the line till he runs further inside and kicks it or handballs.

    One of the dumbest rules in footy right now.  Whose idea was it to introduce this rubbish!

    "Umpiring is so inconsistent" - yes, consistently so.

    Particularly the holding the ball / incorrect disposal.  So confused.

    And apparently Martin is allowed to dissent without a 50

    Now the early-season hysteria is behind us, could Richmond be the Dees' biggest threat?

    Seriously, every week the narrative changes due to a single game. There are 4 or 5 teams that have shown they can challenge us, it is simply that none of them have sustained it thus far.

    McKennerny had the right idea there but too shallow

    If that is the case then they should take the space away between the S and Hocking and just rename him Shocking!  Give him another hotdog on the way out also!

    Great goal Budstar!!

    The first swing was open-handed, but still contact to his head (face). The second one looked more serious. Let’s see what happens.

    Gil should [censored] off now and take Scott with him.

     

    Seriously, the umpiring is making this sport hard to watch, that prohibitive contact against Rioli is a joke, not seen anything like the last two rounds.

     

    That is Scott and Gil’s handiwork, clowns should go

    So now a player can’t brush past another player. I don’t blame those feral Tigers supporters for losing it.

    Nice finish coming inside and the goal also

    • 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.

    • 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?
