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?

    Geelong win again thanks to the umpiring and their fans will, once again, celebrate like complete [censored] jockey's.

    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.

  • Quote

    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!?

    Should have been a 50 metre penalty prior to the call of play on.  Umpire was looking right at it as well.  Pathetic from the umpires.

    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.

    Must be rule of the week the umpires have obviously been told to keep an eye on the 30 seconds, Ben brown takes 30 seconds just to run in

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

    • 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.
