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.

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?

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
