THROWN OUT !!!!

    Was a weak report to begin with, and a usual over-reaction from the umpire.

    By the way, was I the only one who nearly threw up when bloody McLaren popped up in the game when the other umpire went down? That idiot just will not go away.

    And of course the AFL are not taking any action against him, although he clearly fended off a Collingwood player during the match!

    Scotty, Scotty.

    He's in my good book at the moment though. Boundary throw in right in front of me - I called out "Scotty, give us a free, c'mon mate" and then "pick one out" or something along those lines. Sure enough, at the next contest he pulled one out.

    One of the worst day's umpiring I've seen in a while. We got so many unwarranted frees. Still trying to figure out what Petterd's free was for in the pocket

    I had a good veiw of it, he was being held, as the ball floated over his and Newmans heads he tried to move for it and you could see his jumper being stretched, it was pretty soft though, much like a few others we got

    No you're not Jaded, I too almost cried when I saw McLaren come off the bench. I quite dislike the man.

    As for the Collingwood incident, I disagree with you. Both player and umpire were running to the next contest, both seemed to have their eyes on the ball, and as McLaren neared O'Bree, he reflexively raised his arm. The contact was negligible. Comparisons between this incident and Heath Shaw's are ridiculous: one was intentional, the other wasn't. I have no problem with the AFL taking no action.

    Yeah as per usual the umpiring was inconsistent. The free paid to Nathan Brown that gave them their second goal was atrocious.

    My dad saw McLaren with his young children in a park near Balwyn. My dad said he couldnt believe it when he saw the kids having a kick of the footy while 'Daddy' was umpiring the same way as if he was on TV. "No you've fallen into his back..thats a free..can't do that". What a [censored]. Pity those children

    It's my wifes fault. She'd only just finished pointing out that he was emergency/reserve or whatever they call 'em selves when the other bloke went down and he popped up.

    Oh [censored], I'd better find a new career, because I sure as hell aren't going to teach them!

    McLaren should be droppped for failing to make significant contact with that Collingwood Pissant!

    • 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?
