    Agree!

    it is pretty impressive how the umpiring has gotten worse with an extra ump

    My biggest gripe is that you have an umpire standing 1m from a contest calling play on, and then some jerk from 150m away interjects and calls for a free. 
    Where did you come from sir and why do you have laser beams for eyes?

    Two weeks in a row the Suns have helped us. 

    I always said they were an important part of the competition and I have no desire to shut them down and steal all their best players

    Watched the last quarter of GC and Crows and the umpiring was out of this world.

    That good hey? 😂

    The standard of umpiring is declining at the same rate as the cost of living is increasing.

    Speaking of umpiring, I fear they've gone too far with the ducking interpretation. Some players are having their heads nearly taken off without dropping their heads and it's being largely ignored.

    And you have to admit the pies are doing it very, very well right now. Don’t necessarily like the club but really admire that team they have playing right now.

    I was actually at the game, Pies were great in first qrt ..Eagles were one man on bench from first qrt & then inevitably were run over in the last ..they were done. Pies looked very average in a good half of a game so I just wonder if they’re feeling the pinch a bit. But don’t get too carried away by that last qrt.

    Not sure Geelong winning is a good result.

    Geelong is still 2 games and percentage behind us. Better than two teams a game behind us, one with a great run home.

    Yes very fair call, I probably went to early on that first quarter but essentially they are still a very good team.

    The big loser of tonight’s two games is Collingwood.

    They know that Geelong is their roadblock to their premiership.

    Nothing surer than Geelong going on a stupid 10-1 run into finals.

    Only interest today is the loser of gws v rich  can pack up and go play golf for the 2nd half of the season. Caroline Wilson said on ch9 preseason that Richmond would make the 8 and give the flag a shake.  yeah Caro. Even the winner cant really make it with freo and suns improving every round.

    Norff could be worth a tickle against Essendone.  If umpires favoured Gawn like they do with Draper dees wouldnt lose a game.

    How can you not push Bolton out of bounds with 5 seconds to go?

    Talk about footy smarts.

    Regardless of who wins out of GWS and Richmond today, Carlton will finish the round in 14th place.

    If that's not the cellar, it's knocking on the cellar door.

    It says heaps for the depth that we had last year – and I think, probably still do – the Bedford, Baker, Weideman , Hunt are all doing extremely well at other clubs.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
