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

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    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. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
