What’s the difference? Both is about trying to get a free kick when one isn’t warranted. 

i’m not saying I agree it’s just how the AFL operate. It’s like falling backwards when you feel a slight tug at your jumper. it does not get punished and will keep creeping in to the game

    Just watched the storm have another win. Gee I reckon Goodwin can learn a lot off Craig Bellamy. I know clarkson & Buckley used to catch up with him for advice. 

    We use the same gym as them. Our players could learn a bit off these players.

    You can see it here. Not a single media person has mentioned it though.

    Hit in top left chest, falls like he's been winded with a gut punch and then holds his head on the ground. Not a peep from the commentators.

    WOW. That is soccer level.

    If that isn't fined and publicly shamed then Melbourne may actually have a legal case to challenge May's fine.

    But hey, it was probably a 'football act'. Or football acting, maybe?

    Bombers pretenders. They’ll choke in the run home and limp into the 8 and lose the first week to keep the count up.

    They play Collingwood again next week. Hopefully another draw again

    I’ll eat my shoe if the AFL fines their darling thug

    Not only is he a thug, he’s also one of the weakest cowards in the competition. Always hitting opponents when they’re not looking and then flopping when he gets anything coming back. 
    A bigger piece of [censored] you won’t find in the game. I truly wish a speedy end to this bog ordinary career. 

    What do you really think about him?

    Now if Robbo is consistent he will call Maynard a cheat.

    What are the odds of that?

    Will we see it replayed 100 times this weekend like when they hung May out to dry?

    Come on Buckley call for his suspension.

    0% chance of that. And if it happens watch that slimy [censored] McRae come out and defend him and say he’s having such a hard time and he helped an old lady cross the road on his way to bring Touk Miller flowers 🤮🤮🤮

    Umpires really stuffed up a good close game in that 3rd quarter (ESS v Cats).

    Must admit don't watch much of the Bombers but is Harrison Jones worth a thought as a tall forward? Pretty sure he's out of contract. Injury prone it seems but the right age demographic.

    Bombers fans are always so shocked to find out their team is terrible every year. it’s makes it all the more delightful 

    They haven’t beaten a non bottom 2 team since May 11th

    Dropping last night's game hurts even more now.

    Had we won we'd be 6th and sitting just a draw behind Essendon, who are proving themselves to be fraudulent. 7 of their 9 wins are against the bottom 6, and they're being flogged by a side on a 1-6 form run who haven't done almost anything right for two months.

    Essendon fans complaining about draper's non free kick. Maybe it's karma for his non free kick against Essendon when he dived on the ball.

    True but were still only out of the 8 on %. If we play like we did last night we'll be in every game that we have left. If we're good enough we'll play finals

    Collingwood losing going into essendon getting thrashed has been a good day.

    Just would have been better if we won last night

    I picked Geelong tonight, purely because I firmly believe Essendon are very average, and have only elevated because of the extreme softness of their draw.

    Where did The Edge go?😁

    I hope U2 are not thinking of a come back! Great band but their day is well and truly over. Not sure he ever visited the Bummers. Surely the Bummers still haven't found what they're looking for.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
