There’s no justice in footy

 

Ugh that just makes me sick. There is no justice in this universe.

Why the hell did they take that advantage. 

Now Howe gets his premiership. I'm so angry. 

Insane decision to award advantage there. The advantage rule ticks me off to no end. I'd almost prefer that if you take advantage and stuff up the next possession you can always get it back no matter the result. Free kicks need to actually be advantageous.

 

There were about 3 frees to Bris in the last 3 mins that went unrewarded, not to mention the ridiculous 'advantage' call

How the [censored] was that called play on to advantage 


ADVANTAGE!?!

[censored] ADVANTAGE!!

A player with two blokes on him. PUT YOUR [censored] WHISTLE AWSAY YIU DUMB [censored]

YOU JUST LOST YHE LIONS A FLAG

 

Any chance the Auskick kid can trip and headbutt Maynard when giving him the medal?  Howe too?

Maynard is still a dog.

He's got company. 

That advantage rule was tge worst call ever.

Lions didn't even have the ball.


Gotta change the advantage rule. If no advantage accrues bring it back for the free kick

Yes 😭

Umpires you had one job.

F me.

Hold your heads in shame AFL.

Your umpires are a disgrace the only game in the world that decision making has such a bearing on a game.

pathetic.

Well we know who is going to get the Norm Smith. Matt Stevic well done.

 

Needs to get 7 weeks for that.

Keep reminding yourselves that we were good enough to beat this mob even playing one man short for all but five minutes, until we kicked ourselves out of it.

We are still right in the window.

Yes, and they did it as instructed.

Advantage filth.

Coaches them for close finishes every training session as I posted a few days ago.

They wouldn’t have lost the semi against Carlton like we did.

That is how it is in Rugby Union. Basically, the team gets two goes, so a definite advantage unlike many of the instances in footy.

  • NON-MFC: Round 12

    Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • 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.
