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?

    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.

    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?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
