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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • 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.
