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

    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.

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

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

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
