Anyone who argues that umpires don't have an adverse influence on the results of games is kidding themselves. North got kissed on the dick last week, Hawks this week. Is there a mandate from AFL House to completely screw over young teams to protect their finalists? You genuinely have to wonder.

    It's great that umpires are letting the head high's go when players are dropping the knees, just a week after we had 40 of them against us. Just great.

    May's hit on Martin was disgusting.

    May knew what he was doing, too.  You could see it in his face as he ran past the ball and laid him out.  Got Stef Martin right under the chin.

    Minimum 4 weeks.

    IF we beat the Toiges though the Saints will have no worries at all.  Not with the Dees trying for two in a row ☹️

    Just saw the replay.  You could see he wasn't even looking at the ball and was intent only on making contact with Martin.

    The look on his face afterwards said it all. He knows he's screwed.

    Any sign of remorse?  Or just the 'oh, crap, now I'm going to cop a suspension' look?

    Will get 5 or 6. 

    Not a good look from Ablett either, pushing Martin into an oncoming teammate that was lining him up from a distance.

    Anyone putting money on Sam Mitchell for Brownlow?  He's had yet another 40+ disposal game. 

    Has tagging been banned by the AFL?

    For some reason nobody ever tags Sam.  They all seem to think there are better targets and let him run free.

    Umps had the cheek during the week to say the new deliberate out of bounds ruling was easy to adjudicate. Now they've invented an 'under immense pressure' loophole. Absolute muppets.

    Nah, but he has been in my supercoach from day 1. To my eye, he is playing very well and would be polling. He'll be hard to beat from here on in (providing he doesn't get injured).

    • 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.
