    Umpiring has been terrible - so many very very soft and techincal free kicks which ruin the play

    just let the boys play

    Jeesus was are way off the mark. Dno why people are whinging abt umpiring, its part of the game and we need to learn to work with it.

    It's frustrating when they pay free kicks they don't need to pay - maybe i've been listening to Sam Newman too long

    It's about the players not the umpires

    plus on top of that they are rookie umpiers

    so there were some poor decisions i thought - no harm done as it's fake footy

    And why waste the time with the score review???

    This sums it up for me. It's almost as though they think they're the stars of the show.

    God lost first game, losing 2nd, players hurting ankles and supporters whinging about umpires already.

    Gonna be a long season.

    Doesn't look good but all sides playing 2nd straight up have struggled plus it's a hot night so I won't write too much into it.

    Seems to me that we are still hurting ourselves when we try to move the ball through half forward. From the sound of it we are rebounding from the backline, turning the ball over at HF and then being hit on the rebound in turn. Their midfield is moving the ball more quickly and delivering to their forwards better.

    Haha yes I am blaming the umpires for the scores - i thought this was a discussion about the game - My observatoin is the umpires feel they need to get involved in the game and pay every small indescretion

    Obviously you rate over officiating

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • 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.
