    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: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
