It's funny how every season the commentators bang on about how "even" the competition is, yet the results paint a different story. For me, the league is clearly divided into 3 categories: premiership

What
What

Nothing better than seeing that scumbag Hird looking pained in the coaches box

So, of course, Daniher's back to his usual rubbish accuracy tonight by kicking the post from a metre out. How did Joe Daniher miss this goal?

So Joe the goose couldn't miss last week and was kicking them from outside 50. But last night he couldn't get this through.http://www.news.com.au/sport/afl/how-did-joe-daniher-miss-this-goal/story-fndv8gad-1227446412857

His celebrating goals like theres no tomorrow really annoys me for some reason.

Ablett 16 tackles!!!!! Almost a quarter left.

I think Viney has driven him completely mad....."That bloody Jack Viney! If it wasnt for him tackling me, i could have played all season!!"

Daniher now officially on the protected species list at Umpire HQ.

Disgusting, pathetic, soft, [censored] [censored] free kick. All of one pinky finger on his back and he gets a free kick right in front of goal.

Meanwhile, forwards run at the ball and get held, pushed, shoved and bent over right in front of goal and the umpires do nothing. They are murdering this game, not the coaches.

LOL

Brown's having BOTH arms held by two Bombers defenders while going for the ball and the umpires don't call a free kick. Pathetic, laughable, unbelievable frankly.

Heed Gil's words of wisdom in his press conference today. "We need Essendon back being strong and winning games."

Says it all, really.

Gil is an absolute disgrace as a CEO of a competition saying that one particular team needs to be winning.

So unprofessional if him.

Frankly should be a sacking offence.

I know everyone says it a lot, about umpiring... but that display against West Coast is the most obvious case of umpire favouritism to get a team over the line that I've ever seen. Obvious goal bafflingly called a poster by the goal umpire and corrected in the ensuing review, while a questionable "touched" call on the line isn't even reviewed (personally I think it was a goal). LeCras kicks the ball legitimately and it's a free against for "kicking above the knee". Replay shows a perfectly legal kick.

Final count was 24-8 free kicks in Collingwood's favour. Shouldn't be surprised but it's getting to a point where you genuinely wonder about the integrity of the game itself (as if we would be surprised though). Almost every 50/50 call went in the Pies favour and the umpires still picked out nothing frees to help them.

The only thing he's gotten right was how he handled the tragic passing of Phil Walsh.

Paying them more isn't going to reduce human error

They're still going to blink at the wrong time, have players move in their line of view, or misjudge the power behind a push or shove

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
