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. 

I agree that one was absurd, but IF it was used to penalise those cheap jabs and actual punches when the ball is out of play (like those that Max  cops regularly)  it would be a good thing.

    This is largely a result of the over technical use of the dissent rule IMO.  The dissent option means umps feel overly protected/special this season and can call any BS call they want/like/feel like knowing that most are unable to push back for fear of another free or 50.

    Well done Wankervis haha

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

    Yes it will be interesting to have a good look at the second one. If it wasn’t a fist Cotchin should be got for over acting. But commentators were straight into excuses.

    … except it probably won’t.

    I genuinely don't get the complaining about umpiring in this particular game. They've been okay - not brilliant but not terrible.

    Most of the issues have been with both teams doing stupid, undisciplined things. That Nankervis downfield for instance - what does he possibly expect for collecting a player late, unnecessarily, and two metres away from an umpire looking straight at him? Sydney have given away a four goal swing from crazy fake-tough frees.

    Why on earth would you handball back inside within 20 meters under that sort of pressure.... just bail it with a tumble punt wide as possible

    The umpires are dictating the flow of this game. I wonder who they will encourage to win it

    It’s the prohibitive contact frees most seem bothered with

    Bloody hell - this has turned out to be a cracking contest.

    5 goals to Franklin guarantees that he will NOT be suspended.

    Buddy's such a gun. I used to hate him. Now I just feel privileged to have seen his whole career.

    The last true legendary forward of the VFL/AFL.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
