Stuff it if they're going to pay the free kicks this way - might as well actually tackle properly and hurt them instead of laying out  a soft mattress and still getting pinged

 

As a Redlegs supporter for 60 years, seeing the wharfies ripped by the umps is sweet sweet music (please forgive the mixed metaphor)

 

So is that hawthorn player going to be reported for staging? Isn’t staging a reportable offence? 
 

 


Not often you see the umpiring blatantly change the course of a game in a final. 

Should be 36 - 15.

Disgraceful dangerous tackle free kicks

Port have smashed them

That last second goal has every fan on every footy forum saying…

’I thought we were the only ones who gave up red time goals!’.

hawks have settled after umps got them back into the game

Port very flakey as we know. I reckon this is a 50/50 game now

Impey for holding his head?

He should be. 

pathetic

If we take aggressive tackling out of the game especially in finals we might have broken the game


The tackle is dead! The Hawks have kicked one legitimate goal, the rest were rubbish free kicks in front of goal. FFS we are playing a cut throat final and you can’t tackle a forward in your defensive 50 with the intent to stop the forward getting boot to ball or a pass out to a team mate.

i hear ya mate but my dislike of the hawks far outweighs Port. 

Hawks just came off 4 flags 9 years ago

They can [censored] right off

Oh I meant the hawks player that touched his head to the ground in the 2nd ‘dangerous tackle’. It happens every week and I don’t see how it isn’t staging?

A player is pretending to do an action to fool an umpire into giving a free… kinda sounds like staging to me but nothing happens.

completely agree

I was talking about when JHF lightly tugged Impey’s shirt and he fell to the ground and grabbed his head. 

blatant staging

Spot on. Umpires 8 and 11 rubbish.

BS. It could happen to Collingwood.

Finding myself barracking hard for Port on the back of the blatant head office/umpiring decisions 

Hope they win the [censored] thing now

Whoever wins tonight I cannot see them beating Sydney next week 

Hawthorn can, if they bring the same umpires.

i doubt its possible not to tackle watson head high.

How did the field & boundary umpire miss that ball being out?

 

How could so many Hawthorn supporters get tickets to an interstate game?

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
