Nice to see the AFL's new rule working so efficiently!

Yes... the new rule! Nathan Jones is allowed to be tackled in any manner by any number of opponents, concurrently, and he will not be given a free kick. I happened to be watching the game in one of the MCG bars today and witnessed an Adelaide monster wrap a meaty arm around his head and pile drive him dangerously into the turf! To add insult to near serious injury another Adelaide player jumped onto his back as if he was ready to compete at the Kapunda Rodeo. I suppose we should count our blessings that the umpire chose to ball it up instead of paying a free against Jones!

    Don't underestimate the home ground advantage..

    The umpiring was deplorable today, at times I wish the players would've walked off in protest.

    Hopefully Roos can take it further, simply not good enough. This is AFL football. In this day and age, it is simply unacceptable.

    The Tmac one I thought was for bouncing it as he was being "tackled"...

    The umpiring today was pathetic so many Crow throws and we never got a holding the ball all afternoon even when it was obvious

    the maggots are gutless - actually scared by the feral Adelaide crowds.

    I rather liked the free against TMac for running too far when he actually bounced it just before the ump called.

    Or the time when JFK's kick was called "Not Fifteen" before it was halfway through its arc. How could the ump tell how far the ball had gone before it had even reached its target?

    • 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.
