ROUND 19 - Non MFC games

This game is win-win but also lose-lose.

Win-win: an Essendon loss rules them out of finals (the chance of them winning all three of Hawthorn, Richmond and Port (away) is too low IMO), a Sydney loss keeps them sliding and another option for a team to fall below us in the run home (and, if we want to dream a bit, keeps the top 4 door a bit ajar).

Lose-lose: an Essendon win draws them level with us on wins if we lose (we were at one stage 3 games in front of them on the ladder), a Sydney win rights their ship and makes the chance of them dropping out a bit less likely.

    Collingwood can't seem to take a trick with their injuries. 

    Will shed a tear when our injury list mirrors Richmond last year.

    Zac Jones reported at the start - the ‘victim’ deserves an Oscar and a one week suspension.  There were a few gentle jabs to the neck /jaw, certainly far less that Carlisle on Hogan, then after a delay jerked back.  

    Though seriously why the hell do players carry on with this crap at the start, or any time for that matter.  Right in front of the bald maggot.

    A reminder that we're not the only club who gets bad umpiring decisions.

    That non-call of holding the ball on Zak Jones was absolute garbage. I'd be livid if I were an Essendon supporter.

    Also a reminder that the free kick count at the end of the day doesn't always show unfairness or bias as it doesn't show the missed calls.

    It was an absolute shocker.  One of the worst I've seen this year.

    Bomber fans can't complain too much outside of that.  They're leading the free kick count 8-3 at the moment.

    Quiet possibly the worst quarter of umpiring this year... what a joke

    Swans look terrible at the moment.  So slow with their ball movement and they have nothing up forward.  Their backline is keeping them in it.

    Another Friday night classic, putrid umpiring and low scoring scrap. Gil and co at the ground must be happy of the mess they’ve created

    Looks like Wooshas chat with umpires has paid off. Perhaps we should do similar

    MFC are far too gentlemanly or maybe weak to do that.

    Worked for the Cats last week  and tonight for Bummers

    Every time the cameras turn to him I nearly puke. 

    Killer of the game we knew and loved.

    How about Gill and Steve focus on improving umpiring as a key change to the game for next year

    Perhaps they can trial it in the last few rounds of this year!!

    That would be far too radical change or adjustment for the AFL to consider.

    A bit dirty from Smith with the trip. Not on.

    •  

    Devon Smith just did a classic Fletcher foot out trip - ignored by the maggots.   Will Christian have a look especially after this weeks broken leg ( only worthy of three weeks though)?.  Probably not especially were the Bummers to win and remain in the race. HQ wouldn’t allow that, though of course Christian is independent isn’t he ?????

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
