The Last Time They Met

[Demonland 72,213]

What a miserable game that was?

Adelaide Oval. A rabid pro-PA crowd and even more rabid pro-PA umpires who gave them the world and deprived Jeremy Howe of mark of the year.

You might want to correct the 'Outs'. Was the third out Joel MacDonald, perhaps?

Tom McNamara was out twice ... out of the team, and out of the club.

[Miles from Nowhere 199]

When you have a look at that 25 player Demon side from last year, apart from injuries, the only changes are Morton and Moloney plus McNamara gorn. Not great turnover or improvement.

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,842]

I still can't work out why Aaron Davey didn't play this game.

He was suspended for the previous week, but was fit and available for this game. He also didn't play for Casey.

Part of that is due to bad luck, if Mitch Clark, Liam Jurrah, James Magner, Tom Couch, Rory Taggert and Tynan were playing there would certainly be a large changeover and a fairly large improvement (Mitch Clark is a large amount of improvement on his own!)

Made the trip across the boarder for this game.

Never seen a more disgracefully umpired game in my life.

Never seen a more disgracefully umpired game in my life.

I was just about to say that this game sticks out as the worst umpired game I can ever remember. I was at work watching it on TV; my colleague on the day thought I was mental. Gah, I'm getting angry again thinking about it.

I reckon it was the only time I have ever whinged about the umpiring of a game on Demonland afterwards too.

Really? It was that bad. I have never watched a game from adelaide. My brother had to sprint out of footy park after a final which the aints won a few years back. He said it was seriously scary.

So i haven't done it.

Hey WYL, they've got these new fandangled things called TV's these days. You no longer have to travel to Adelaide to watch matches there

nosher generally speaking Melbourne supporters don't t know the rules. Always blame Umpires.

What a crap game.

Keeping our wonderful record against wooden spooners clicking along nicely.

I know the rules, even the ones the AFL changes from year to year. I was at the game and the fact that the Port supporters around me were laughing at their good fortune with a lot of the calls tells me that we were right to blame the umpires to some extent for the result.

Most likely his wife was giving birth to his 43rd kid.(No cultural offence intended )
