What a pathetic decision! Frawley's unpaid mark, really cost us. Why we hate 'em!

Don't make me start on Hale's staging

Agree with you both - and I have just had a whinge on another thread about the umpiring. He may as well have had his North Melbourne socks on!

 

C'Mon people no way the umpire cost us the 4 points

We got outplayed in the first half and it took North quite a while in the first quarter to open up a gap

We had a bad half and we made an effort to peg back the deficit but we couldnt go on with it in the final quarter

Thats the reality of a young and inexperinced team and i expect a few more till the seasons end

We supporters have seen 4 good performances since being belted by the hawks

We didnt win today because we didnt win enough contested possesion and the clangers were back

26 point loss could have easily been 60 except some of our players showed character and that included our youngsters

We have made the statement already that we are NO LONGER THE EAYBEATS

Be pleased that we have improved and we will keep on improving

But dont blame umpires for today


North deserved the 4 points! No doubt.

But the umpiring did definitly snuff us out of a challenge in the last quarter. 3 goals given by umpire no. 6 to North killed the game.

Well said.

We were outplayed by a team that will rival us in the top 8 over the next 5 years; umpires will be umpires, can't do anthing about that

yeah the umpires cost the MFC the game :rolleyes:

How about accepting the fact that they were outplayed today, straight from the opening bounce. MFC were lucky to only lose by the 26, the shots on goal NM should have nailed, MFC were let of lightly today.

Dismal performance today.

No one's saying that today's poor umpiring cost us the game, not on this thread that I read that is. What is being said is that there was some poor umpiring today, and some of those questionable decisions cost us goals.

Umpires like players should not be above criticism. I know they're human but some are more human than others :)

Umpires didn't cost us the game, but there was some really annoying soft frees given to North, especially in that last quarter, which just makes you frustrated. Playing 1 quarter of footy cost us the game.


We must not blame umpires for losses of football games or even criticise them. Our players make far many more mistakes than the umpires. Are you forgetting about the 50m to young trengove which was really an 80m penalty allowing him to kick a goal in the 3rd quarter. Yes there are mistakes but that is football.

a great post swampy, summed up perfectly

Yes. The final margin flattered us today.

I think the final amrgin was a fair representation. North definitely deserved the win, and 4-5 goals 'feels' about right.

The umpires gave us hell, it was appalling. A bigger margin would have reflected that, more than reflecting the contest itself.

Well said. We didn't deserve to win, just like Collingwood didn't (but they did!). The umpiring yesterday was below par for an AFL game, and it probably cost us the most.

This thread was started in the passion of the battle (just after Frawley's mark was disallowed, costing us the goal). Calmly reflecting on the game, we lost because we didn't do for 4 quarters yesterday what we did to beat the Lions. We will learn plenty from yesterday.

Moving on, and looking forward to Fri night and particularly Warnock v. big Barry!

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
