The deliberate OOB decisions are even more embarrassing.

All the focus was on whether it was touched or not: I wondered if it actually after that brushed on the shin of a Swan closer to goal?  Didn't seem to review that.

Exactly, I thought it was pretty clear the ball hit the Swans player just above the foot and went through for a goal. I assumed that’s what was being reviewed. Weird

I am with you, seemed very odd they didn't look at that.

What was the conversation all about during the review? Something about kicking in danger and indiscriminate kicks causing damage. Was that the ump talking to a player?

Nonsense. They’re deliberately not trying. Someone high up is rigging the games or has a bet on that trickles down to the coaches and players. We’re being duped.

For heaven’s sake! Why watch the footy then?

Sounded like a female voice and a very strange conversation. Maybe it was a player but for some reason I thought it was coming through his head set...

I think the voice was trying to say it was kicking in danger but the ump was having none of it. Was almost as if the voice wanted to turn over a decision & award a free kick on review which would have been very embarrassing. 

The ump to his credit pointed out his decision not to award an in danger free had nothing to do with the review.

I don't think we were supposed to be in on that discussion but would be very interested to know who it was with. Wonder if the AFL can use the hit the wrong button excuse this time.

Stormy - why is that more odd?

Wouldnt trust the AFL one inch ...... rigged fixture, or rather fixed ire, just for starters.

Pretty sure they have mentioned a few times they get to see more angles than what channel 7 shows. Guess you can blame 7 for not showing this one live

Handy game last night. Showed to me that any team, in form on the day and willing to go 100% can win against any opposition.

Its how the Dogs did it two years back and the Tigs last year. I feel the flag this year is again anyone’s to win.

People were silly to write off the crows after last week and people will be sillier again to write off an aging (or slow) swans for this year as well.

Both teams have significantly more firepower than us at the moment.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
