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

    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.

    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

    Hawthorn can, if they bring the same umpires.

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

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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.
