    He ducked his head into the oncoming player.  That's on Spargo and he was rightfully pinged

    Great decision by the umpire

    By the way, if we're are being honest we had the better of the umpiring yesterday as we did against the Eagles

     

    First paragraph, no he didn"t, he was already there at that height and stationary. No one should categorize every decision to be the same, because they do not have the same result.

    Second paragraph, one shouldn't applaud a decision that had an obvious intention to contact and hurt instead of wrap up, with the same result. Umpire carelessness in my opinion and resulted in trauma and concussion, which could have been avoided.

    Third paragraph, aside from statistically what part of the umpiring did we have the better of ?  Free kicks in forward line, Fifty metre penalties?? Dangerous uncalled tackles?

    I am trying to be honest but i do love the Club and their players and try that balance every year against magnanimous odds of stupidity and constant bias and manipulation of things like rule of the week and secret rule of the week and favouritism and Brownlow Medal......

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
