I’ve never been so sure that the umpires were trying to influence a match than tonight’s Geelong vs Port match.

Has an umpire ever called play-on for a player taking too long kicking at goal before?

An unbelievable decision.  As he was lining up a host of Geelong players were signalling for 'play on' and encroaching on the mark before it was even called.  Can't believe it.

Come on Dixon kick straight for [censored] once. 

Was that a crooked kick or did he just lack the balls to go for goal?

Last week the Umpires didn't call Ben Brown to play on, 40 seconds into his set shot.

They were correct tonight.

incorrect last week.

He was asked to play on as he was lining up for goal and didn't realise until almost 3 Geelong players were tackling him.  He had to quickly give it off and the rest is history.  Port were robbed.

Port were absolutely robbed.

Umpires have ruined this once great game. Cheating [censored] scum

Yeah but he’s from North Melbourne so he obviously doesn’t count as an AFL footballer.

Watching the countdown clock on Sunday and I reckon most time players from both sides went over time. I assumed that the rule was mainly a common sense thing. Once again umpires have proved that common sense isn't all that common. That was borderline cheating!

Cannot wait for these flogs to topple down the ladder. All it will take is a Selwood or Dangerfield injury.

They did more ducking and diving than a bloody duck.

Give me the shits more than any other team I reckon.

It's really sad, but terrible one-sided umpiring is really starting to make me like the game less. Cats got handed that win, umpires folded every time the crowd made a noise. Selwood still ducks his way to free kicks regardless did of an attempt to stamp it out. I just want consistently umpired games, is that so bloody much to ask!?

This is exactly right. Brown used his full 30 seconds and THEN he began his approach. And tonight the umpires get trigger happy with Dixon. My God I hate the AFL. We were completely screwed (even as we screwed ourselves).

Find if hard to believe Danger's kick wasn't touched. Somehow miraculously weaved it's way between the port player's arms and torso. Not even reviewed. 

Talk about letting the crowd atmosphere drive the result.

Every goal is reviewed but port players never claimed it was touched, they would have been going nuts if they knew they touched it

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
