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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
