Too many goals gifted to north from silly free kicks. Harvey is a professional actor. Good fightback from the boys today. Last year they would have been beaten by 80 points. Umps did make it very very hard. Six goals combined to Goldstein and zieball from a total of 10 free kicks between them.

    I agree. That bald umpire was horrendous. He gave the two fifties from frees that were'nt there and the one to Goldstein in the second qtr was just non-existent. 

    The way the commentators are "coached" to never diss the umpires just means nothing is done. There is no accountability. I find it very hard to watch. I don't blame the umpires for the loss because it was there for us to win and we couldn't do it and "good teams overcome bad umpiring" but that bald bloke is a shocking umpire and I won't watch again if he's umpiring. It's just not a pure sport. The umpiring had almost as much effect on the match as the wind and at least you knew you were going to get 2 quarters with the wind.

    We 'wasn't' robbed, we handed the game to them with our errors in the last quarter and they capitalised on those. The umpires didn't help but it was there to be won and we couldn't do it.

    I never like to blame the umps but....

    6 goals from free kicks

    2 of those from 50s

    Harme's mark not paid in front of goal in the last qtr.

    front on contact on Stretch (I believe) in front of goal in the dying seconds not paid.

    Where is the review and accountability on umpires when they perform like this?

    I'm on record on this site that there should be the equivalent of a MRP for umpires that is in the public forum (not behind closed doors like its some sort of secret society business). They definitely do need to be held more accountable because the inconsistency and plain [censored]-ups are frustrating in the extreme.

     

    For example, the umpire that didn't pay Harmes mark in the last quarter should be cited and fined or suspended as should the one who paid the ruck infringement free against Gawn that resulted in Goldstiens 30th goal for the day. On the other hand the ump who didn't pay 50 m for Wagner dumping Waite after he marked in the last should also be fined or suspended as that was 50 every day of the bloody year.

    Glad I wasn't the only one that thought Stretch received front on contact in the dying seconds.

    To my eye it was the most obvious free kick of the day.

    I can live with that not being a free kick, he did actually spoil the ball and Stretch wasn't too badly impeded. 

    The kick from Bugg was the problem.

    Can't blame the umps really because we were to slow in getting going however I would love to know why that mark was not paid to Harmes.

    Shocking game of officiating but we ultimately lost the game in that ten minute period in the middle of the 4th with poor defense, poor spread, lack of run (due to spreading out remaining interchanges). Roos were just as tired but ultimately their experience got them over the line (Harvey and Goldstein mostly). Two goals from them that more or less sealed the game.

    Garlett may have been the difference.

    It was front on contact every day of the week, except in Tassie on a Sunday apparently...

    Haha no it wasnt he got enough of the ball and his eyes we for the ball it was just a good desperate spoil. Im just happy to be debating borderline free kicks rather than who should/shouldn't be dropped for showing no effort.

    could have been worse - just watched Hawks/Dogs - Razor Ray really needs to be taken aside by the umpiring boss and be told  - a good umpire is one that isn't noticed....

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
