    Are Adelaide missing our #8, or is Dooday covering him well?

    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.

    Agreed. And every player is in on it.

    I heard the umpire but wasn’t really paying attention.

    Have a look at the game Adelaide played against Collingwood and then tell me I’m wrong. I’m not. Collingwood are a [censored] team and Adelaide were hopeless and clearly not trying.

    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.

    You said in the first post of this forum that Sydney should demolish the crows.

    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.

    • 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.
