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

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
