Surprised to see Footscray, who have enjoyed armchair rides from the umps for as long as I can remember, get robbed tonight.

The 50 m against Easton Wood to give Patton a shot right in front in Q4 was blatantly unfair.

Wood was watching the ump, waiting for him to shout "play on!". The ump gave Patton an eternity, then yelled " move it on !". Wood thought it was "play on," and a ridiculous, match losing goal was conceded.

There was also a blatant deliberate o.o.b.  by Greene towards the end, which the ump didn't pay, despite being very severe on deliberate calls all night prior to that.

 

 

Umpires say "move it on" 200 times a week and I'm sorry but it's not the signal for play on. The signal is "play on" arms up in the air.

the oob you have referred to is the one where the boundary umpire should have a say IMO

Few thoughts on the game. 

Greene should get a week no more, ball is there to be spoilt, it's not behind play, yes it was late -free kick and 50 m I think that's fair.

Why do the AFL field umpires not collaborate with the boundary line umpires to make deliberate OOB  decisions? There were two clear incidents where deliberate should have been paid and umpire had said "couldn't see" and "it came of someone else" the boundary umpire was right there! 

Umpires are atrocious in generally ATM and it's clearly not their fault but they are looking like the idiots because their bosses have no idea .I hope it was the downfield umpire that called the dangerous tackle against mummy because it looked like the umpire in the centre called for a ball up then after he realised libba was groggy then paid the free.  Almost MRP like in that if u injure a player it's a free if not play on.

There was a incident last week where JKH marked in the middle and I think it was grimes hit him late slightly high and JKH sprung up and played on. I'm thinking if he stays down he gets 50m. The dogs players do it, should we ?

 

 

 

I think you're going a bit easy on Greene. You say a free kick and 50 m. That's wrong....Daniel already had a mark, so there was no free, just 50m.

You say the ball was there to spoil. That's a joke...he walloped his face when he knew it was too late to spoil. It was a full, round arm, reckless, deliberate swipe, of high force. Far worse than anything Vince, Hogan,or Lewis did.

Comparable to Grinter on Wallace,except that Grinter was running with the flight of the ball, and it wasn't late.He missed the ball by the same amount as Greene. That was in the " tough" days. He got 5 weeks.

The fact that the victim only received a cut lip is irrelevant. It was vicious, and much more likely to cause severe injury than the misdemeanours of Vince, Hogan or Lewis.

Whether we agree with it or not, the AFL are clearly using the consequence in order to determine the impact section of the sanction calculation.  My money is on 2 weeks, reduced to 1 on guilty plea.

Your points are valid I am probably going easy 2 down to one week with early plea, but he's entitled to attempt to spoil and i think that should help his cause that the ball is in play. I can't see how Greene can get more than hogan when the AFL is supposedly cracking down on behind the ball incidents. Daniel kicked the goal and what looked like just a cut lip.

How did this guy even get a commentator gig in the first place?!

He's a bit like Rex Hunt. Just gets really excitable and that's entertaining to some people.

i don't want to be pedantic, but i think it wrong to describe the hogan hit as "behind the ball". it was "off the ball" or "in front of the ball" being in the position where the the ball was going to be delivered. in addition it was a face-to-face situation and he was retaliating so describing it as "behind the ball" gives the impression it was a sniping action to an un-sighted player.

I thought that was a fair spoil by Balls.

He spoiled The Ploughs ability to eat solids also.

 

 

God I am so sick of carltank flogs like Stephen Trigg and Mark Maclure waxing rhapsodic about how young they are and how inexperienced etc.

Murphy, Gibbs, Simpson, Kreuzer, Jones, Rowe, Palmer, Ed Curnow, Daisy, Levi, Alex Silvagni - all on their downward trend.

Yes, the likes of Cripps and Weitering and to a lesser extent Marchbank and Plowman are very encouraging but to hear the two Carlton apologists bang on about how McKay - who is yet to debut - is "like Daniher" does my head in!

Quite happy for them to stay delusional. 

They have far less leadership than the MFC and no forwardline


The AFL App is just beyond hopeless. 

The only score it is showing today is last years GF

Fix it up you tight ass bastards. There are 100's of people employed in at AFL HQ

We are being so screwed...

I'm having the same problem too. Was working ok in first quarter of Saints vs Hawks and now all 2017 video content, scores and live streams have disappeared! Joke!

looks like a nice day for footy in Hobart but only 8 goals scored and one minute before 3/4 time

Score??


I know we have tomorrow's game to worry about first but if we dont beat the Hawks next week we may as well pack it in. They are slow and spiritless.

Haw 3.4 (22)

St K  6.8 (44)

Half Time.

Interesting. Meth Coke are obviously soft as butter at The MCG. 

We must Bank 8 points in the next 2 games or else we will be left behind

sorry it was only half time.... game so slow one can be forgiven

Saints up by around 20 with a goal on the siren at half time


Hawks are garbage. Will be very disappointed if by the time we head to Adelaide we're not 4-3.

Riewoldt just kicked his 700th goal in AFL

well done

Appropriate for him to do it in Tassie as he came from there I think

 

Saints by 34 now half way through 3rd quarter

Edited by Diamond_Jim

The Hawks are so crappy that they will be a serious threat to us next week. 

 

Did Hawthorn do no research before trading for Jaeger O'Meara?

Anyone on Demonland could have told them he has serious knee issues and would be a shadow of his former self.

Please, please, please don't let us lose to this rabble next week.

We've had many a flogging from this side, for once I want us to deal out some punishment to them!

  • 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.
