Post Match Discussion - Round 14

Pretty sad really

We were the better side most ofย the night.

Poor ball use inside 50 and biased umpiring cost us the four points in a brutal battle.

I would like the club to publicly question the block on Melksham, momentum killer that disgusting decisionย

I counted 7-8 frees that were called the wrong way either against him, or not for him. He had a filthy run.ย 

And was super on form as well, should have kicked about 6.

Oscar absolutely terrible again.

Rubbish.ย  Murdered Dixon all night and was paid two of the softest 50 metre penalties in history against him tonight.

Could have and should have beaten them. The inside 50s were like early on this season. We need to get cleaner. Good effort and intensity - Jetta and Viney huge. Fritsch did some sublime things.

I believe we will still make finals.

Terrible umpiring mistakes killed our momentum and gave Port clear advantage several times. Disgraceful.


If the AFL are serious about improving theย gameย in respect to fairness and equalisation,ย they MUST address the Adelaide, Perth and Geelong homeground umpiring bias, because it kills the game dead, and it did that tonight. Simply just not an even playing field.ย

How many goals did Dixon kick?ย 

Not the point. Oscar was woeful, all could see that

Melksham could have been shot out there and they wouldn't have given him a free kick.

ย 

Can't wait for the presser...

Actually..i can

Actually I can't be bothered

We also lost so much momentum when Max wasnโ€™t in the middle. Tim Smith barely got a finger on it all night.

Heโ€™s one of a number of fringers that donโ€™t impact in big games.


Gutted. Poor inside 50 and the umps were a disgrace..

Just could not buy a free or even the odd 50/50 in the last 45 minutes. From Wingards โ€œI thought it was a markโ€ from 15, Melkyโ€™s momentum killing free against and 50, again by 15 to Brayshaws non Mark in the last 2 minutes. Need I go on?ย

Dumb comment - did you not actually watch the game?ย  Oscar's sloppy frees against were crucial in us losing such a tight game. He wasn't the only offender but he was terrible.

29 more inside 50s is a disgrace not to win, just cost a ย top 4 ย  FINALSย spotย

Kidding right?ย  He was woeful

How could you possibly say we deserved to lose? We killed them in all aspects. The maggots literally got them over the line.ย 

I will not be watching the AFL anymore and cancelling foxtel until they fix up the complete inconsistencies with the disgusting decision making.ย 

Imagine explaining the rules to someone who watched that last quarter. It literally just shows they are run by the betting companies. Money talks and unfortusntly the league is not what we think it is.

Deserved to lose was a bit stupid, ย shouldโ€™ve just said selection cost us and was always going to.ย 

So port set themselves for a big game - whereย willing to hurt a few , we need to get back to a last game philosophy.

No tomorrow.ย 

Our contested marking around the ground was woeful.ย 

Tyson has played his last game

Hogan is totally lost...

Beaten by pressure again.....

Tough run home.....

That 2nd quarter decision was one of the baffling I have ever seen.

Kidding?ย  Nah.ย  Haters will see what they want to see.ย  Gives away a couple of dubious free kicks and he's had a 'woeful' night.ย ย 

His job is to shut down key forwards.ย  He smashed Dixon all night.ย  Job done.

I think we will probably scrape into the 8, and lose week one.ย 

Too many players who give us nothing under pressure. Jetta and McDonald literally bleed for us, while Petracca, Tyson, Hogan, Neal Bullen etc disappear.ย 

Losing Lever was the end of our season.ย 

I hope we make finals to get over that mental hurdle, but sadly we are nowhere near good enough to impact in September.ย 

A brave effort.ย 

Agreed @Jaded. I'm disappointed but not throwing the baby out with the bath water.ย 

We are judging ourselves against round 11 expectations not against preseason expectations. At the start of the year "8-5 with 127% and just pushed Port to 10 points against shitty umpiring" we'd be stoked.

We need to play finals, and we should given the games left and the way we played in 7 of the last 8 matches. We might not finish top 4 but st haven't played finals in 11 years; I don't think we need to be disappointed for not skipping the expectedย stepย (finals) and jumping to top 4 straight away.ย

Utter garbage. Find something else to blame. WTF.ย

  • PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwinโ€™s summer of love.ย Manyย issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

  • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    Weโ€™re back! That was fun. The Mighty Deesโ€™ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commandingย 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

  • CASEY: Box Hill

    The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
