    for me at least a third ( mentioned elswhere.,.but in theme here )

    Hird after being awarded 50 m penaly ..continued to harrass and hassle . He is meant to go to the point of the new mark as soon as possible, not interfere with the player.. why wasnt a secondary 50 awarded... talk about double standards !!

    agreee completely, and the umpire wasnt blindsided in the tripping contest. he was side on and 15 metres away, bruce had his arms wide apart and even looked at the umpire and the umpire called play on.

    regarding the rucks, thats happening more and more and is not policed. whites advantage is his leap, so i dont know if its a tactic used against white specifically but it seems to be happening often, running at the other player, jumping into them, and then tapping the ball. it is against the rules and should be payed to white.

    Umpire S.Grun was responsible for the poorest work last night. The majority of bad decisions were his. I'm not just saying this because his adjudication was 15-3 in favour of Essendon. A real shocker. Off to Horsham next week.

    Can anyone tell me if the 30 sec shot at goal rule is still in effect?

    Whenver lloyd had a shot at goal he took longer and one shot was 42 seconds.

    If it was Neitz or one of ours im sure they would of called play on

    We had plenty of chances to bury them and simply didn't take them.

    Thank you. At least there is one other person on here that agrees with me.

    Yeah, he is a hack who didn't deserve any of them. :rolleyes:

    Exactly!

    Blaming the umpires is a weak cop-out.

    I'm blaming our players who can't protect leads.

    Daniel Motlop

    Brad Johnson

    Andrew Swallow

    Scott Lucas

    also haven't helped matters.

    Agree entirely.

    For all the mindless whinging about umpires and how biased they are against MFC, it living proof that those people see what they want to see and that is not much.

    Of all the decisions that was costly there could be none more penalising than the goal umpire who deprived Lloyd with a two grab mark on the goal line in the last quarter. The goal umpire called the second grab across the line when he was clearly blindsided by it and the replay showed it was in the play.

    Funny how there was no comment on that.

    Ash 30, FWIW, I like many others think the James Hird is an out and out champion no matter how many times he has towelled Melbourne.

    i must say the umpiring department should look at the richmond st kilda game and tell the others "please watch this and umpire the game like this"

    Well said davey_magik.....

    And while the umpires didn't really help our situation, they certainly didn't cost us the game.

    We managed that all by ourselves :( :angry: !!!

    And I agree with condemned, in that the Richmond-St Kilda game was a great example of how this game should be taken care of.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
