Look at hits out when scum scored to when we scored, Jamar BOG, watch him blossum this season

Unbelievable... Bigfooty has gone bananas about the umpiring... and hardy any MFC supporters are piping up. All opposition supporters.

Fantastic! The senior players stood up, and the youngsters backed them up brilliantly. The only difference was that they didn't know how to win it, though they were desperately unlucky in the end.

Just listening to Harry O'Brien's interview - praising the Dees muchly, saying he thought Petterd might have had the mark in the square in the last second.

I'm too shattered to type,i'm extremely proud of every Demon!!!!

This is how we can play when we are mentally switched on for 4 quarters.

absolutely shattered.....

Hats off to all our blokes for a fantastic effort. I know we lost, but to be in the game for the entire 120 minutes is a remarkable improvement from last week.

The test is to not revert to old habits next week V's Adelaide.

Those Bennell and Green non-decisions in the last 5 minutes were atrocious...

For the first time in about two years, I'm absolutely gutted about a loss.

Me too. It's nice to feel 'normal' about a loss again. As horrible a feeling as it is, it's much better than the dirty relief I felt after the Richmond game last year. I'll take this over that any day.

Bate has been terrible up until half time.

Good game of football, the big test is the third quarter.

Definitely feeling the love for McKenzie.

Me too. Might have to change 'bobby' to Joel if he keeps this up. Superb game.

Honourable loss. Hurts but geez we gave 'em a scare. Loved the way the kids played today. They might have made mistakes but they will learn from it. And watching half strength Dee's took it right up to a full strength Collingwood gives me so much hope for the future.

The Bennell decision was farcical. That umpire should be binned for the rest of the year. And the 'holding the ball' decision award to Davis for his tackle on Strauss. Dead set - such ineptitude should not be tolerated by the AFL.

Eddie obviously gave an Easter bonus to a few umpires today. Some disgraceful decisions, the majority of which went against us.

Beaten by the umps...certainly not a better team !! cant wait for Eddie to whinge about it though.

well done Dees..( well most of you...a couple ...and they will know who they are) ought to be very sheepish about basking in any Melbourne praise

Agree honestly some unbelievable decisions seriously strauss's holding the ball.

Game over. Thread closed. Post match discussion here folks - http://demonland.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=19976

we were dead set dudded by the umpires today, they would blow the whistle as soon as we got touched in a tackle for holding the ball, then Shaw clearly takes Green on in the dying seconds gets tackled drops the ball and the umpire lets it go
