    Umpiring Nick Foot reporting Zak Butters for abusive language

    Yeah I agree - if it comes down to the word of the umpire v player, the AFL has to back the neutral umpire, who we trust to uphold the rules during games. And they have to back the umpirires as part of keeping respect for the umpires/attracting people to become umpires. But it's entirely...

    Umpiring Nick Foot reporting Zak Butters for abusive language

    If he really didn't say what the umpire heard, then I would 100% challenge the decision. Even if it means spending 20k to the appeals process. The afl tribunal finding means the AFL believes 1. The player is a liar 2. The player has accused the umpire of cheating His club and the AFLPA need to...

    Classic Matches vs Tigers

    The EF win where we got lucky with a free kick not paid against us in the last few minutes. Jason McCartney game. Ridhmond supporters showed class with cheering him, even when it cost them the game. A game in 1990 where Longmire kicked 12 and we won by 141 points. 1995 Monday night game...

    Opinion Is 2026 the worst AFL season ever

    To To be fair to the OP, I can see his point. And my team is having its best season for 5 years (albeit a very low bar). Saturday night games may as well forget about footy. Scheduling has been terrible. Too many byes and opening round is just stupid, but getting worse each year with match...

    How far can the Hawks go??

    Yeah I agree. Of course you need luck with injuries and form, but I think they are very well coached and have a lot of match winners. Quite enjoy watching them, as a neutral fan. Can see why they went after merett. Add a class midfielder and their premiership window now, and for a few more years.

    Jack Ginnivan - Redemption arc

    I bet 90% of the comments here are about him being a ducker, or about his on field personality... so to be positive/different - have been impressed with his field kicking, and how how he opens up the game. I bet most teams would love two "small forwards" like Hawthorn has.

    Best Final 2 Minutes of a Game Ever

    WHAT!?! Worst 2 minutes for me! But seriously, if you look at the game as a whole, it had everything. Rohan Connolly ranked it as the greatest game of ALL TIME. https://footyology.com.au/remember-when-the-greatest-game-of-them-all/

    MRP / Trib. Will Hayward on Wardlaw

    Well it didn't get downgraded, and carlton wins as he misses a game. They just showed his stats on "midweek tackle". 6 disposals, 2 downfield free kicks against, with both leading to goals and $10k lost in a tribunal appeal. I thought his strike against wardlaw wasnt as bad as Richmond's Ryan...

    Autopsy AFL 2026 Round 4 - Hawks v Cats Mon April 6th 3:15pm AEST (MCG)

    Really entertaining game for a neutral to watch. Crowd atmosphere looked fantastic on TV. Glad it wasnt a draw, and one teams supporters get to celebrate.

    MRP / Trib. Will Hayward on Wardlaw

    He did 3 questionable acts in the game? Once, might be an accident. He got suspended for one, likely broke FOS' jaw in a bump, yet didn't get cited, and then there is this bump on wardlaw.

    Certified Legendary Thread Sympathy for *essendon III - 4 Sept 2025 marks 21 years since *Essendon have won a final; NM beat * for first time in flipping ages, RIP D2D and T_S

    @4.42 Jade Gresham misses his teammate from less than 10 metres, trying to give him the ball back for a free kick. I didn't notice that during the game, but not hitting a target when the play is stopped is a new low.
