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

Reason #245 why I hate the AFL

 

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.

Maynard in the middle of all the fiery action

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.

Why are the umps so hot on holding the ball but weren’t last night? Like wtf is going on with this competition?

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 🤮🤮🤮

Mac Andrew not about to take sch!t from Maynard… love it. 

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: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
