Is it me or the umps torching Port? 

I think you are right. I can’t work out what rule a number of these so called frees are awarded for.

    Apart from Collingwood (whom they lost to), St Kilda have had a hell of an easy run so far this season. Not the least bit surprised that they’re going to lose this one.

    Both of these teams look average. Very little composure to be found on either side this last quarter. 
     

    Saints supporters aren’t letting their unfamiliarity with the rules get in the way of their passion.

    That kick from Houston might be the best of his career

    The booing of Horne-Francis is seriously dumb.

    We booed Tom Scully for years, after at least serving out his initial contract. JHF did something that undermines the integrity of the draft basically. Imagine if every #1 did what he did.

    I only watched the last quarter, but At Kilda lacked a lot of composure, they didn't look like a quality side to me.

    We might have booked Scully but the rest of the comp didn't. It's bloody stupid unless you're north supporters.

    Jeremy Finlayson looks like such an ammo-level footballer but is an absolute quality forward/ruck.

    Really happy for him that he got the trade he needed and is playing good football. Credit to him for being able to stay focused on the game. 

    Both Finlayson and Cameron as I recall were so disappointing in the GF loss to Richmond 2019.

    Both have done so. much better when playing for a club who knows footy and play with passion.

    GW$ is such a shameful waste of talent.

    Did any other teams boo Scully in ‘solidarity’ with us..?

    That’s the weird part.

    I reckon Adelaide are a chance to knock off the Pies and if we put Norf to the sword we should take our rightful seat on the throne. 

    Would love to be 1st and 2nd going into the Kings Birthday weekend.

    That was Melbourne supporters - what’s it got to do with St Kilda that North have been poorly managed for 10 years, so a kid left?

    Do we expect Brisbane supporters to boo Jackson because he left for Freo? It’s weird.

    That Grand Final was really the boulevard of broken dreams for a lot of those Giants players

    You said the answer, “ ignorance” by the cretins booing a very good young footballer.

    Haven’t heard the Port fans booing Howard, their former player, or Steele the Saints Captain and ex Giant or Butler, or Wood, or Hill etc.

    I don't condone the booing but slightly different circumstances to a regular trade.

    Horne-Francis essentially Tom Scullied North while they were on their knees and only saw out half of his rookie contract. Fair spit in the face of North fans who should rightfully be [censored] (I'm aware there are probable issues at North that contributed to him leaving).

    Why every other teams fans has joined the booing bandwagon is somewhat perplexing but probably relates to group-think/pack mentality.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • 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.
