    So do the umpires and commentators.

    Oh well. I guess we now need Brisbane to [censored] Adelaide and then us win the last two by lots and we make it.

    Watching that game,I couldn't help but think the Umpires had been encouraged to help the local team win.A bit of success in Western Sydney helps promote Australian football there.

    The free kick count was grossly in their favour despite Melb having far more of the ball.

    On the rare occasions the ball went inside their 50, you could see they were just itching to pluck out a free in front. Sure enough, their only goal in the second half came from a free for which the commentators couldn't fathom the cause.That proved to be the winning goal.

    They got a 50 m penalty that was at least 75 metres(3 kick lengths). Our 50 m penalty was 40 m.,judiciously stopped out of scoring range.

    The commentators were glaringly obviously hoping for a Western Sydney win. Kelli Underwood's biased, nasal ,cliche-ridden drawl was nauseating.Is Nathan Burke somehow connected to the Giants? Seemed like it.

    I don't understand how this website forum can embrace the new AFLW, but simultaneously let what 'Biffen' (whom after a bit of research is an apparently regular and somewhat respected poster on this site) has written on the  No T$ etc thread stand? Its a disgraceful piece of unrelenting sexism and bigotry, specifically aimed at degrading women?

    Im not a bleeding heart but the irony is palpable.

    Agree with the first four paras. We could have had a number of frees right in front of goals too. 

    Disagree with the last para. The commentators just picked up in the first half of the first quarter what our coach didn't pick up until he looked at the stats after the match and thought "we may have overused the hands a bit". GWS just got numbers to the fall of the ball all over the ground, and were happy to just get a good purchase on a kick out of congestion instead of trying to finesse it through traffic all day. 

    Underwood & Burke were annoying mainly because they could see what our brains trust couldn't.

    Maybe taking things at their apparent face value a bit Biz?  I don't know Biffen, but the T$ thread is not to be taken seriously.  Seriously.

    If your beef is over there, please take it up over there.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
