    Umpires were not the problem tonight. Anyone who thinks they were is just deflecting from our actual shortcomings.

    I turned it off at 3 quarter time. By that point I'd seen enough. After last night the last thing I wanted to see was MFC get umpired out of an important win, so I have no idea how the umps were in the last quarter, but I can speak on the first 3 quarters and the umpiring was deplorable. At this point I am getting a bit disheartened by AFL.

    Still Melksham & Hannan both caught high inside 50 in last quarter, nothing.

    How many Port goals came from frees or 50 metre penalties!

    Umpires are always [censored]. We got our fair share as well, particularly early. We should have won the game regardless of umpiring, it's nothing but deflection.

    10 free kicks in a row is not a deflection, 50-50 decisions all went Ports way in the last quarter.

    The Melksham decision was a disgrace and paying a 50 for it was an even bigger disgrace. He didn't realise for about 30 seconds it was a free against him.

    What was the final count each way?

    We won the inside 50’s by almost 30 (68-39) and the clearances 54-38. We should have won by 5 goals. Yes the umpiring was average at best but a good side doesn’t lose a game with those stats. We did not take our chances. We only have ourselves to blame.

    The umpiring was a [censored] disgrace that bald [censored] is the worst umpire in the country. Brayshaw's was an obvious mark.

    The Brayshaw mark was the same as Wingards, should have been paid.

    Melk's shepherding decision was a disgrace.

    Yes Nichols is a ..... of an umpire.

    ...but we cost ourselves the game through poor delivery into the forward line.

    Umpires or not there was a 30+ point win there for the taking.

    When will the afl make these clowns full time professionals? As long as they have amateurs umpiring the umpiring will be amateur. The last quarter was totally unprofessional and incompetent.

    Did someone post 17-11 our way at half time? That means 19-7 Port in second half. Seems fair, especially when you win the contested ball most of the night.

    Round 14

    AFL's interpretation to umpire to the home crowds, seems to take precedence over the reality.

    It used to be just Collingwood and Carlton, that got the dream run from the umps... now it seems its's the vigorous home crowds, the Umpires are directed to Panda to. ?

    Clear intent by the maggots to influence the result of that game. I preferred when we were [censored] at least we all knew deep down that we weren't going win much. But don't worry it will all be glossed over and no umpire will have to explain anything, cause hey its the result the AFL wanted. [censored] joke.

    Well when you get 19 frees to PA and only 7 to Melbourne, after half time then they do play a part and 2 frees in front for goals and very iffy to PA..

    However you look at it ??? Lewis gets his head pulled off no free  in the forward pocket? Well please yourself. That's fine. I will leave it at that. Gut Wrenching !  Not sour, just not fair. Good luck to the Interstate sides.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
