    What a horribly umpired game, especially the first half.

    Always enjoy a good whinge about umpires. Here's another one:

    Why on earth do they always take time and breath to indicate that they are going to move backwards when they do a ball-up? They always go back on a line perpendicular to their bum and the the vague wave they do doesn't indicate that any better then just standing there. Do the players really need to be told?

    Been meaning to bring this up for a while 'sue'...I've played, coached and watched a lot of footy and have never seen an umpire ball the ball up or bounce it down and run forward.

    It's just redundant to indicate they are going to back out after throwing the ball up or bouncing it down. Of course the backwards movement comes from the bounce down. Try and move forward after you bounce it down and you will look pretty stupid.

    Not just that but you are not really watching the play if the ball is behind you.

    I assume you are only joking, nonetheless I strongly disagree that it's ever appropriate to call umpires that. Especially when at most levels, they're doing it in their own time.

    The afl should stop pussyfooting around with female footy and put all the eggs into female umpires.

    At country level our umps are getting older and less every year.

    The females that want to be involved in footy is growing and we need to put all money set aside for female footy{bugger all} and pump it into female umps.

    At every level umps get abused,but not when they are sheilas,Besides there isnt enough girls and leagues at country level to support female footy.

    BTW never complained about an ump and never will.The parameters are set by the league.

    • 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.
