I agree.

Razor Ray has backed them.

Watch this 3rd quarter again and the umpiring is one-sided. Thank Christ for the Dawes softy.

    completely different set of rules for the home town boys isn't it

    that's 3 weeks in a row we've had the rough end of the stick by my count

    We couldn't buy a "holding the ball" against the cows

    What an absolute joke.

    Even though the umps were in the cows back pocket we still BEAT the plicks on THEIR HOME TURF.

    Sucked in.

    I've followed footy and the Dees for 50 odd years. Supporters always reckon your side is getting a shitty deal from the umpires. However, we are getting a shitty deal. Why? Because umpires do not want to upset the stronger teams. This has always been the case. The Eddies of the footy world wield enormous influence which filters through all aspects of the game.

    The commentators don't like us getting frees. Have no issues with soft Adelaide ones.

    The commentors showed us no respect.

    The efforts of JKH and Viney hardly rated a mention

    I dont think it is intentional. I think lower performing teams get stitched up more because umpires subconsiously assume that the worse team made the error. It is also the reason that the star players get looked after so well by umpires. It is extremely annoying, but it wont change. In the last few weeks. Buddy was given a rubbish free to kick his only goal. Ablett was given a gift also in a crucial time in the game. Nev Jetta gets his head ripped off half the time and it gets ignored.

    Win a Brownlow and you're assured a nice run with the umps as well.

    We really have to be more vocal at our home games. Ive cooled down but its the only mitigating circumstance. The crowd screaming so loud.

    Umpires should be embarrassed by that effort.

    My favourite free was when Cross got one at half forward when we were streaming through the midfield and looked set for a quality inside 50. Instead the game stopped and Adelaide got all their defenders back inside 50. Well done umps.

    Also good job Ray and co from changing the usual 15 from 12 up to about 20. Glad to see that consistent across the league this 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.

    • 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.
