Carlton's Dream-run from Umps

The Panglossian
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

Did any other Demonlanders notice the fantastic run Carlton received from the Umps last night!?

5 goals from frees and every 50:50 went their way.

It blew my theory about non-Vic teams getting a good go at home out of the water. But I guess there was a good number of Carlton Fans in Brisbane making their presence felt, so it's probably a bit different from Adelaide or WCE at home.

    i felt carlton got a great run from the umps, but what got me is the way the umps seemed to control the game. the umps were continuously popping up, they were very in your face, especially at crucial moments. they made decisions that influenced the course of the game, stopped momentum and prohibited the flow of the game. i think they ended up with more than double the free kicks of WCE? someone can confirm/correct that if they want.

    speaking of umpires, did anyone se the oush in the back paid against ricky petterd for casey yesterday? he used his hip to body the other player out. no contact with the players back, both hands up for the mark and got pinged. terrible.

    Sad to say, it looks very much like the notion of impartial umpiring has left the building. Either that or they are just not training them like they used to.

    Yeah Deanox I saw it. It was text book perfect the way Ricky competed for that ball and did it 100% fairly. Makes you shake your head in disbelief when you think of Rougheads push against us 2 weeks ago with the umpire in perfect position that he decided was a fair contest!

    yeah I saw that one too! And I swear the umpire then pushed Ricky, albeit gently, to go onto the mark

    • 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.

    • 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?

    • 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.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
