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

    Whoever wins tonight I cannot see them beating Sydney next week 

    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?

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
