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.

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

"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.

"One of the dumbest rules in footy right now.  Whose idea was it to introduce this rubbish!"   Wasn't it another of S Hocking's shocking changes?

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!!

“Prohibitive contact”

FMD, this games core behaviour is at risk.

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.

    Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5 The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.

    Date of Birth:  22 July 1997 Height:  189cm Games MFC 2024:  21 Career Total: 183 Goals MFC 2024: 3 Career Total: 54 Brownlow Medal Votes 5 Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury. Date of Birth: 4 J

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    2024 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0
