Just in relation to The Incident in the last couple of minutes today.

It happened to us and now it happened to Brisbane. They didn't stop and make the player take the kick because there wasn't any advantage. It happened to Collingwood and they made the player go back and take the kick.

    And then we sign up the pea heart for another year!

    one of the very few players I’ve ever seen that looks dead set terrified on the field. 

    Recruiters dropped the ball … premiership team yet we couldn’t attract a gun player in 2 seasons

    I pray we can reload and contend again next year or my love of the sport might have died today. What a sad day it is in this country where we see a pack of sexual predators and thugs celebrated. 

    For mine, if it has died, it died the day Maynard got off. Everything changed that day and I’m just hoping the change isn’t irreversible. The AFL is the custodian of our beloved sport. How dare they cheapen it as they do.

    [censored] you AFL this game is so broken.

    Coleman BOG in the GF.

    Bontempelli best player of the year. 
    So great that they are both rewarded for it.

    Just feels flat. Usually have some happiness for the premieres even against Hawks and geelong teams I despise. But this just feels [censored] can't even feel the emotions from the screen that I usually can.

    I really hope the story of that game is the advantage interpretation.

    There’s absolutely no justification for how that was to the Lions advantage. That was a pure, out and out, mistake by the umpire.

    There is no chance in hell that narrative will be allowed to live even in one media cycle.

    I know the popular thing to do is bag the umpiring. 

    But we have so much to learn from that game, and from Collingwood. 

    They just won a GF with Frampton, Mihocek, Cameron and Cox as their tall forwards/rucks. They are relaxed, they balance defence with offence, and their supporters support them no matter what. 

    They were the best side all year and it’s hardly like they didn’t deserve to win today. 

    Brisbane were great, and it will go down as one of the all time best GFs, but rather than trying to tell ourselves they only won due to our poor QF kicking or today’s umpiring, let’s all acknowledge reality - they are the benchmark and they are better than everyone else.

    I watched Moore's speech because he is actually likeable but they won 3 finals by a total of 10 points.

    We have a lot of work to do to get back to gf day. Smart recruiting would help.

    So now I'm going to avoid social media, not even going to bother watching any footy shows even the sunday one & radio. 

    Can we start trade week now?

    What’s the point …. Focus on our team who’s recruiting in last 2 seasons of our premiership clock has been below par… we get Hunter who can’t kick & Schace who’s failed @2 other clubs & plays 2 games & a sub ahead of Grundy ???

    Too late to learn pies had two average rucks who played a part in the ein without being major goalscorers. Lost season for us.

    Who’s saying the AFL caused us to miss scoring opportunities???? Of course they didn’t, but what they did do is make decisions that effectively impacted the outcome of games, directly as well as indirectly. If you don’t think the AFL are writing the book think again. Because they are.

    I dont remember a season where there has been so much

    criticism of the umpiring from the media commentators.

    They must make the rules clearer so that it is easier to get it right.

    They should talk to Glenn James, one of the greats!

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
