I'm still a little sceptical about all the claims of matches being fixed or being unduly influenced by umpires or that there is a narrative/agenda as to who plays in the Grand Final.

BUT

The AFL should surely be concerned that so many footy fans are saying it or thinking it.

    Collingwood are still in this game on pure 'luck'.

    When you’re the premiers but also seem to bring out the yips in every single team you play… last year they were clearly the 1st ranked team for opponents inaccuracy in front of goal. I’m hoping that eventually turns and they start losing more games that they deserve to.

    Yes saw that. The ball should have been called dead immediately and then a ball up. But no, it’s play on. Umpires not having a great night.

    Must've confused the hell out of Maynard to see something change direction in mid-flight.

    It's probably the same as when the ball hits an umpire, it's play on.

    What's the rule at the ice rink when the ball hits the roof? Seem to recall it is a free against?

    I’d love to see a graph of momentum shifts in games tracked to show forward half free kicks. 

    Nobody wants to talk about it but forward half frees are worth their weight in gold, and decide far too many games.

    This is so spot on.

    Channel 7 just clarified the situation. If the umpire sees the ball hit the camera or cables it should be a ball up. If they don’t see it, it’s play on of course. So in this case it seems all 4 umpires didn’t see it!

    No way they didn't see it. Oh that's right, it was to Collingwood's advantage that the kick into Sydney's fwd 50 was arrested. That makes sense now.

    Just trimming off a little to add to the 50m.

    Fingers crossed the open-goal-run-out-the-back is the psychological breaking point for this game and Sydney can get the six or seven goal margin their performance deserves.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
