BT has completely lost the plot. Free kick was soft anyway, 50 would have been controversial after the siren went but it probably should have been paid. Correct call I though though.

    Suck on a fat one Tigers!!! That was 100% a 50. Would be paid at any other point in the game. Massive choke from the umps

    I get that, and agree it's frustrating. I just get sick of umpiring being the only topic.

    This is actually a bloody good game between two flawed sides!

    It was a bloody good game, but with that ending, suspect most talk will be about umpiring.

     

    Personally, not knowing rules, I think that should have been a 50!

    You'd think so. But tricky situation.

    OMG - what a match   Nearly threw it in at half time 

    Lots of Richmond dissent after the non 50. 

    Same! Quite the snore-fest up ‘til then. 
    What a bizarre finish though.

    Should have been a fifty to the Tiges after the swannies player roosted it into the stands! Shocking home town umpire Bias

    Late call on the free and crowd going nutz...you cant expect a player to know who the free kick was for as he picks it up in that situation.  Correct call umps

    Presumably not the umpire for G v M round 23 2021 - who firstly paid the absurd deliberate OOB, then the 50 for Lever to pass to Max.

    Buddy, McCernerny, McCartin, Heeney stood up and a few other solid role players ...their tails will be up next week & Buddy loves the G.  Should be a great game.  Hopefully theyre rooted and will be a bit off

    Love it. Suck on that Richmond. Was that a 50m if he kicked it into row Z after the siren? 

  • Quote

    lol ump refuses to pay a free because he reckons he knows what the player could and couldn't hear.

  • Quote

    Think back to that 50m we got in Geelong that was there and helped win us the game.  Definately should have been 50m and I was going for the Swans.

    When is ANY player ever given the benefit of the doubt that they didn’t hear the whistle??

    hilarious incompetence!

    What a bizarre explanation by the umpire - "not unreasonable that he didn't hear the whistle"- doesn't usually matter as far as I have noticed.

    I don't see how it could be a 50 if he kicked it over after the siren....

    Totally different...ours occurred during the game, not after the bell.

    Good thing there was no crowd in that game to give the ump the excuse that "he couldn't have heard." Can you imagine? Just the thought of Lever not being paid that 50 because of mewling cats fans being "too loud for the player to hear" gives me nightmares.

    Would have been about the umpiring regardless of what decision they made there!

    I reckon he heard the siren, not the whistle, and the reason that's normally a 50 is time wasting, which can't apply after the siren.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
