Wow, Collingwood 25 points up with 7.35 left. What a choke.

    That has to be the worst free kick given  15m out from goal ever

    Magpies robbed and we’re loving it!

    Umpiring is bull [censored] !

    It is [censored] up the game !!

    Umpire #15 and umpire #22 (was not umpiring the Feral / Freo game) in my opinion are the two stand outs for incompetence.   

    I get the impression from previous posters that umpire 22 does Melbourne no favours but I reckon #15 might just pip him at the post.  He has a history of making controversial decisions late in games.

    Poor umpiring decisions have certainly impacted a few games this year. (but if it cost the Ferals a victory tonight, can it be all that bad?)😉

    Annoyed, Jackson has the chance to kick Maynard in the face when he smothered his kick in the goal square.

    I want to like this, I really do.

    Sneaky chance we can go 4th, if GWS beat the cats and if we win and gain some percentage it can happen, that would be a great weekend for us tbh. Carn the giants.

    Getting tired of the subject of extra time being on the agenda purely because Collingwood have played in a few lately.

    Loving the anguish over a free paid against Cwood because they didn’t return the ball correctly. Seen it paid against us plenty - most recently when it was returned to the wrong player - and no commentator gave a hoot.

    I work with a rusted on Swans season ticket holder and he hates going up there because nobody watches the game. They're all constantly going to the bar, talking or looking at their phones. They also like getting tarted up like they're going to the theatre. Swans games are an occasion to be seen at, not to see the Swans, apparently. 

    You’ve just described the MCC

    Good to see Corey Wagner getting a run.

    Good luck to him.

    Changed the game!!! His run and carry and kicking actually started the change in Freo getting momentum. 8 possessions in a qtr.  75% efficiency

    Re the free for not handing ball back, a caller to SEN post game said his son was at the game listening  to the in stadium commentary and apparently it picked up the umpire telling Pendles earlier being warned that players weren’t handing the ball back quick enough (ie time wasting).  Puts a different paint job on the “controversy”. See if the AFL come out and out Pies back in their box (cage).  Could be deliberate tactic by Pies and they have been caught out. They should have other officials running the clock like basketball and  make it black and white when the clock stops and starts (ie in the rules) and remove the need for field umpires to call time off and on.  Such an antiquated system and so not necessary.  Move with the times AFL.

    Pies were umpired to a flag = Pies fans think umps should favour them forever. The sooking is hilarious. What a bunch of wankers.

    Can't be time wasting if it's a ball up because the clock stops. Maybe they believe it's a tactic so they can get their defensive set up right.

    Leaving aside Nichols decision I count at least 5 times in Collingwoods last dozen games they've been helped by a contentious umpiring decision ( twice) or a opposition player missing a clear chance missing a shot to win the game. Don't tell me they're not lucky.

    The only instance where OT should be considered is in finals. Regular season who cares really.

    It's exactly why they do it. If McRae wants shorter games........

    What a great way to start Saturday 

    pies choking apparently and a controversial free against them. Lovely.  Turned it off when they were about 18 points up and going away, 

    What a great way to start Saturday ,

    Careful, JJ; that sort of vocalising preceded our Weagles *cough* 'win'...😏

    I just don't see why there has to be a result in the home and away season and only 4 points for a win handed out. I know the players work hard for 2 hrs and it's a weird feeling all that sort of rhetoric but it adds a element to the game that few others have. 

    I would have been thrilled to snatch a draw against Carlton in a similar fashion to what Freo did.

    If they don’t know the rule about handing the ball straight to the umpire, they probably aren’t aware either that the clock has stopped, so it’s no use time wasting.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?
