When was the new rule passed that when a goal umpire says it it was not touched and is a goal and the field umpire says he also didn't see it touched, a boundary umpire is called in to get his opinion. This was clearly heard on the Dunn shot on TV through the umpires mikes. If the field and Goal umpires both believe it was a goal what was the need to call in a boundary umpire, who had to sprint to the goals from around the boundary. Why is this not done on every shot where someone may have touched it?

Someone can correct me but I thought the boundary umpire said he "thought" it was touched. Since when is that used to overrule the man in charge of the decision who was closest and gave his ruling. Should every decision on a footy field now be a consultation between all umpires.

As for the umpires pink shirts, when we also wear pink, nothing less than disgraceful in a professional sport. We should be wringing a favourable position in next year's draw from the AFL as a result. I suggest we don't play at Skilled Stadium for the next 10 years.

We should fine the AFL!

Pink shirts. What a disgrace!!! There a bunch of clowns.

Melbourne always seem to to get the rough end of the stick with the umpires too! Colloingwood and Bulldgs in two close one's. Could have easily gaone our way.

I honestly think umpires have an interest in the result at times! So too the AFL!!!

I also find it refreshing when guys like Dermie, Hudson, Harley, McAvaney come out and say we got the raw end of the deal from the umpires and it could have cost us the game.

I thought you were saying about the New Rule that if a player marks the ball while falling over the boundary line, now it gets thrown in...

Trengove marked in the forward pocket halfway through the final term. It wasn't touched off the boot and what I saw, he took it cleanly with one arm on the line. Under the old rules it could only be one of two decisions, out on the full or a mark. But that boundary ump (the same one who took the goal off Dunn I suspect) threw it in ???????

I noticed that too. Laughable.

I just figured he thought it was out on the full but was doing what he could to even up the ledger.

Clearly a mark.

All facets of the umpiring were woeful last night, I was a boundary ump in my younger years. We were only ever called if the central ump had doubts, and those doubts were only there because it was about to be called the goal.

Regards Darren

P.S. even with 4 boundary they still made errors!

Absolutely! It looked clean on the replay and should have been a mark. If not it was out on the full.

I want to know if it was the same boundary umpire, the one who said Dunn's goal was touched, the one who disallowed Trengove's mark, and this one. Anybody know their names? Maybe a closet Bullgog's sympathiser?

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
