Umpire Report

Twice we were awarded free kicks around defensive 50, with the dogs player holding the ball far too long, allowing all their players to get back. Both should've been 50 metre penalties, yet neither was paid.

I thought the whole point of the 50 metre penalty was to prevent players from slowing play down. If channel 7 wants more goals they should be into the AFL to get these things right, not fixing the draw.

    Still a few mystifying decisions from "the munchkin" but I think he's warming to us.

    What's he got to complain about? He gets kissed on the dick down Kardinia Park.

    Funny you should mention that. He was also asked whether or not sides in Perth, Adelaide and Geelong get a home ground advantage with the umpires, his response was definitely yes and that when you have a large proportion of the crowd cheering for one side it influences decisions.

    Is this the turning point for the year? MFC loves umpires and vice versa?

    And when you consider they let in 12 supporters from other clubs to watch matches down there.

    i hated the brayshaw-razor high five

     

    Was there any perceptible evenness afterwards or did we just run away with it then?

    It shows how petrified players have become about idiotic decisions by umpires that Gus has said:

    "It's funny. People might not believe it, but I didn't intentionally kick it out of bounds," Brayshaw told AFL.com.au.

    when it was so obviously not a skill error but a titanic skill disaster.

    By umpiring standards I didn't think they did a bad job yesterday. It is the port game that gets up my youknowwhat where they cost us the game. And on the harmes handball at the start of the game I thaught the umpires got it right. He was too far out and it was deliberate. Closer to goal it isn't a problem.

    I did read in breakdown of free kicks given to all teams ....Melb received the most goals from frees in their forward 50...(courtesy ofHerald Sun)

    Thanks to Deestar9. We will have to find a new conspiracy theory.

    I thought that was the right call. Brayshaw was going to kick and then pulled out of it but it was too late.

    Razor won't be washing his hand for a month.

    One of the funniest things that I have seen during a game.??

    Very much so.

    You could tell how chuffed the Raz was. I reckon he's following Gus around everywhere now, Cable Guy style.

    The razer/Gus low five was an uplifting Footy Moment where our great game displayed its real values. Two participants recognising and acknowledging the lighter side of the game.

    There should be more.

    Could not believe that Pannell maggot umpired our game tonight after spending time down at Geelong training during the week.

    The AFL is so poorly run it is scary

    Just an observation, I am not blaming umpires for our loss tonight -  thats squarely on the shoulders of our spineless team.

    No he did last night.

    In answer to my own question the answer is NO. We proved tonight all things being equal we will have no trouble beating cats in future.

    Another disgraceful performance tonight from the maggots. That's what bringing down the maggots to training does for you, along with abusing the crap out of them after the game by a sooky coach in an aging team of wingers. Other than that, a very entertaining spectacle.

    Umps didnt lose it for us vs Geelong. We had out chances to seal it late in the 4th

    What!!!????

    What about the mysterious ruck free to Hawkins for a goal, the chopped arms ( still a mark ) to TMac dead in front, and the 50 against Harmes as he desperately tried to get away, resulting in a goal???

    Also there was a trip by a Geelong player diving on the ball, also dead in front.

    We were lucky on one occasion when Jetta interfered running back with the flight, though he tried to watch the ball.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
