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

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
