    I remember this at the time. I laughed because he was on the boundary line calling for the ball. The radio commentary also had a laugh

    Ha ha I noticed that on the replay put pressure on the hawk player when he wasn’t actually on the ground I thought he was a bit cheeky but quick thinking.!!!

    Cheeky, reckon it only got a fine after it went a bit viral.

    Either way it shouldn't be the same fine as dacking a bloke

    I counted two dackings on the weekend and I’m sure neither attracted a fine.

    What a legend. 🤣

    He's risen another nitch in my appreciation of him!

    Very glad he didn't miscalculate and place a foot over the line.

    For what it's worth, I think the fine is appropriate. If no action had been taken, players would believe they could do this with impunity. That could lead to dangerous outcomes.

    If he was already warming up around the boundary line, I reckon a heckle is ok.

    But running at the player like this doesn't sit right to me, as it makes it "feel" like there is an extra defender. I don't think it's appropriate.

    But as said above, exposing another player on the field should be a more significant penalty than this!

    Yeah I suppose the sanction is warranted, I love that he's invested though.

    Agree. If left unchecked, it wouldn't be long before most bench players started lining up to scream abuse. Admire his passion though.

    A player could get duped and pass the ball, out on the full. Then the face palming that ensued could easily cause concussion, and we all know the head is sacrosanct.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
