Umpiring of MFC games very questionable

Does it? This is the most embarrassing thread on Demonland.

We got far more frees for the day but the umpiring was strange, but it has been all round. I think the umps are just getting into form too.

Umm no. We got the rub of the green today. What is it with some MFC supporters always blaming the umpires?

I thought the umpiring standard was sub-par, but we got the better of their poor deliberating today.

Correct.

Some of the rules need changing.

Taking the legs should only be feet first.

Deliberate shouldnt be paid if the opposition could have kept the ball in.

Kicking in danger needs to be paid more 

Selwood needs more free kicks.

2017 numbers: 382 frees for, 384 frees against.

Do you honestly think there's a deliberate biased against the club, or that umpiring is inconsistent and, as supporters, we remember the ones that go against us...

It is NOT the numbers of frees it is where and when they are paid!!

Deserves a good old chat.

Personally I think the whole AFL are corrupt and try to even up games to protect their image of an even competition, but...

Why are we so slaughtered with blatant frees? 

Are we not playing to the rules?

Are we undisciplined?

I seriously question some umpiring decisions in recent seasons, Razor and Matt Nicholls are by far the worst against us. It's very bad and disappointing that one of the games best ruckmen, Gawn, gives up trying when he doesn't know whats happening. We always seem to be on the wrong end of the stick... It's not about totals, its about blatant frees not paid

Couldn't agree more. They have been corrupt for years. A law unto themselves.

Sadly they are a necessary evil. A blight on the game!

We got crucified today by the parasites today, 5-6 frees resulting in goals. Gawn in the ruck nothing and still won by 6 goals. Inaccurate kick for goal cost us a 10 goal victory but I'm not complaining glad to have this pathetic streak put to bed.

Bugg showed to day that if the frees are that blatant that they have to give it,  it will be paid. His neck would be very tender tonight.......

Wonder why the umpire was smiling for a second or two after that free was paid to North just before half time though.

If you take out the first 10 minutes, and the ridiculous frees in the 10 minutes, then we did win by 10 goals. Kick straight and it should have been 15 goals.

There were some shitters today for sure but that's the way it is.

We've just gotta be good enough to win.

Very true BBO. My beef was the tiggy touchwood frees paid today. I thought the nude nut was particularly overzealous.

What about the free where Goldstein looks at his opponent, elbows him in the head, then gets the free for interference.

Ben Brown always gets most of his bag from questionable frees inside 50. Its pity goals for being such an ugly [censored]

How about the free kick against Frisch in the Goal square, it was a legit mark, kenty barely touched him, incredibly frustrating.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
