AFL Round 5 - Non MFC Games 2017

Love how the dogs are so full of themselves that there is no recognition of the ANZACs on their jumper because Bob's 300th is far more important to recognise! Screw them.

 

Umpire guessed that really late, conspiracy says it was once it was clear the dogs player wasn't clear.

Bulldogs deserved to win as they had far more shots and dominated with the ball in their forward half, but jeez they get a good run with the umps! Multiple poor umpiring decisions gone their way in the last quarter when they needed it. 

 

The ump just paid a lions free and advantage really late once they were clear (he paid the free late as well), a nothing free that will even the ledger a bit.

It comes from years and years of your hopes and dreams being pounded into the turf week after week Old Dee..... You think, gee i like football but....maybe there is some other game on that may remotely interest me.......

I have been keen on basketball for a long time WWS.

but it is a game imo that is way better at the game. It loses a lot onTV.

but since they delete my team I seldom go to that.

follow the Storm on TV now and then for the same reason. At least they give you a good run for your money unlike a certain AFL team has done over the last several years

There are not enough words in all the languages of the world to express how much I hate Norf. Permanent team of pretenders who get an armchair ride with umps.

 

North don't seem to be playing like the basket case i hoped they would be this year,but I hope they get done after the siren tonight.


At the Freo game again, couple of points - 1. Umpires horrendously inconsistent with their calls; 2. Norths pressure incredible and they're taking their chances. 

Never seen Sandi murdered by the umps before. 

How do they do it? They're the masters of the holding off the ball, sly little ankle taps, blocking in marking contests, but game after game the umps love 'em.

Everything Freo did right against us, they're stuffing up against Norf and playing like kittens.

missing 2 sitters didn't help the wanchors that qtr

how about that giant blow up wanchor on top of the stand - gross


Nick Del Santo has the most annoying voice, it hurts it so high pitched.

Scully is fantastic. 

One week ban for that comment

unless sarcastic

well lets hope freo have a 3rd quarter like last week against us and wipe that smile of Brad Scotts face, but I bet they dont. Typical freo.

Freo look atrocious again. Maybe 4 omissions was a good call from Goodwin.

Absolutely. We had them by the scrotum last week at half time and let go. 

It was a shocking 3rd Q

We just have to learn to keep the pressure on

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • 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.
