That was blatant cheating last night to get the bombers home. You cant tell me they dont try and even up the competition to make it look better.

I guess we all see things differently, God Bless these Bombers fans on their footy page. Not even on Demonland do I believe we would stoop to ‘bin juice’ delusional levels if there was such a huge discrepancy in our favour.

‘See, I don’t think the umps were kind at all. I don’t think they paid us a single free that wasn’t a blatant free. On the other side I reckon they didn’t pay a couple of genuine ones against Richmond that cost us 3 goals at least’.

    If port lose to the filth today then watch the umps stick a needle into the druggies next week so they can have a SA team in finals.

    Hardwick frustrated by lack of free kicks for his team in win over Essendon

    Hopefully, Simon Goodwin can also say much the same after we beat West Coast tomorrow because 27 - 15 would be a good outcome for a team traveling to Perth to play the Eagles.

    Haven't read the article, but notice off one bad game with frees and even though on top of the ladder, Hardwick is into the umpires , putting them on notice for future games. Clarkson, the Scotts and several others do it but not us.

    Yep. Maybe getting a bit nasty, would trickle down to the players.

    Because we're pissweak. Like the team itself, we just roll over and take it.

    The Melksham "non block"springs to mind as something that should have been questioned but as usual nothing. A bit like hanging Oliver out to dry last year when the umpires continuously called him for throwing the ball. In so many areas we are irrelevant.

    Where for example is our view on the priority picks. As the team most recently denied such a pick our public stance is very relevant...but nothing.

    Yep, this infuriates me. And you just know both those clubs will be looked after.

    Desperately hoping for a Collingwood win today. That way we if we win tomoz, Port can’t go ahead of us and we’re in the finals.

    Two Port wins and 1 Sydney win means we’re going to be in a percentage battle with Geelong, and I’m not particularly interested in missing the finals by 0.5% again

    Geelong won't make up 13% and finish on the same points as us (because that means they'll drop a game or we win a game)

    Today, we are all Freo.

    Ross the Boss will be going down to Geelong to win and end their season.   A Nat Fyfe masterclass is on the cards.  Get it done, Dockers.

    To be fair, a couple of those are related to one match/incident. What about the other 15 games we've been totally rogered?

  • Quote

    I think I counted three incidents he was responding to.  (Maybe a I forgot to paste one).

    At any rate, if he complained about the umpires every week he’d start to look like a Scott brother.  Their whinging has made zero difference to their teams outcomes and people no longer pay attention because it is so regular.

    People listen when Clarkson makes a complaint because a) he is one of the best and most respected coaches of all time and b) because he does it so sparingly.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
