I'm glad others are starting to catch on to what is happening with the umpiring league wide, I'll leave it at it.

Leave it at that!?  Anything specific, SF?

Its hard not to think umpires are not influenced!  This from Channel 7 CEO re TV audience size and scoring: "If we can get Collingwood firing, that helps.''

I haven't followed Pies' frees but they certainly gained big adv vs mfc and yesterday vs Ess.  Umpire influences can be very subtle be it fans, AFL, Ch7 but they are there.

Every chance the Pies will get an arm chair ride to the GF (and maybe a Premiership) just as the bulldogs did two years ago.

Nothing specific, it’s all there in front of you to interpret however you feel

Slightly off discussion is it me or is Mason Cox becoming arrogant? Oh and when the pies fans sing USA, god they Sh@t me 

They probably think it means "up South Australia". Doesn't Mason come from Canada?

The MCC/MFC Board sacked Norm Smith in 1965 as Coach

Norm was not amused 

Its only 53  years

Comedy evolves slowly !

Bombers injury strife. Stringer out for a month and Ambrose for the year. Players for our finals rivals are dropping like nine pins.  This may be the end of their season.

I did notice this - touch wood, we have players like AVB etc returning, and have a pretty skinny injury list, whilst WCE, Collingwood, Sydney, Essendon and GWS in particular seem to be losing players at a rate of knots.

  • 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.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    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.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
