Helluva half of footy. So the umpires have no way to pay a free in that situation? Surely it's a free from the centre at the start of the next quarter. That rule would stop a lot of those half-time "meleés".

McGavin, much like the rest of his team is a pathetic little snipping turd and a downhill skier. 

Wasn't it Schofield?

Why would he dive? It was after the siren, so there's no free kick. All he'd be doing is making himself look like a dill.

The angle on tv didn't do it justice, but I doubt Oliver would be holding his mouth if he wasn't hit in the face. He isn't that sort of player. Nor would the umpire put a report.

WTF?

I was talking about the tackle on Hunt. Then that happened. 

Poor effort from Pedo and any other talls that were in the area when McGovern got Hunt. Harmes and ANB the only ones to fly the flag. Needed Gawn to throw McGovern over the fence.

These umpires are disgraceful.

And weak as.  Did you see Shui in one ump's face mouthing off!?? Should have been a free kick against for abuse

I agree  I think he contacted,but over reaction

Thought the same thing initially but pretty sure he got smacked in the teeth - every reason to go down like he did.

As we all know, you're fighting a 4 goal umpiring bias in the west, and you'll never see a more obvious example than Jeffy's perfect dispossessing tackle in that last bit. The very definition of spineless, unaccountable umpiring. 

Forgot how much I dislike West Coast. Pack of crabs.

We're leading in Perth despite having about 5 players with either no influence or playing awfully - Garlett, Pedersen and Melksham all struggling, Hunt and Oliver being tagged out of it.

I can't believe how good Gawn has been after a 10 week layoff. Viney playing his best game for a year, if not longer, Tyson dominating in the clearances.

ANB's decision to kick instead of pass to Bugg was a bad one. Hannan should have kicked his late shot too. Either of those give us a nicer buffer but I'm pleased to be leading in the circumstances.

And on that last skirmish, either Schofield is a dog or Oliver will be copping a fine for staging. I'd be surprised if Oliver would take a dive like that but it did not look like much contact, that's for sure.

Agree, I thought he hammed it up big time.

Agreed. Nothing in it. Intent was there. Execution was terrible. Oliver gets the Razzie for worst performance in a supporting role. 

Let's not overlook Viney's greatest half of football ever. 

Perfect.

  • 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.
