That free against gus was a disgrace.

 

The free kick against Jetta showed a complete inability to understand the game. A fair contest by two players both holding the ball should have been a ball up. No wonder Shocking Hocking wants to reduce the rule book. The game is getting overly technical.

The frees against Angus and Lewis were egregious errors and the umpire involved should serve a four week penalty and attend rule revision classes for 6 months. Where was the protection to the head? How else does a player on the ground attack the ball? The dork against Lewis seemed to fall over himself, not Lewis. Disgraceful and Shocking Hocking should lose his job if this is not fixed immediately.

Carey, Ling and Richo on tv all condemned the interpretation of the rule and stated that it should be examined. Could not agree more.

Hopefully last nights umps have been told to take the rest of the year off.

They deserve a rest.

 

Well the ones tonight are no better..worst umpiring in a final series I can remember.

that's what you get with semi-professional umpiring in a fully professional sport

these guys are way behind the times

afl's solution is to add more second rate umpires which just creates more second rate decisions


Maybe it is a protest action, a kind of workplace go-slow warning shot against any more daft rule changes?

In which case, #jesuisrazorray

Nicholls, Chamberlain, Meredith

Not great.  Pleased about Razor.  Could be worse.

Let's hope Nicholls has sorted out the sliding rule!

I am hoping that the clowns will be aware of the “23rd Man” and given the personalities of 15 and 18 will take the opportunity to shove it right up the booing ferals. One can but hope! Go Dees.


[censored] Nicholls the useless bald [censored].

Bloody Nichols.  ? 

how can nichols stand 1m away whilst mcgovern punches viney to the throat with a clenched fist. Copped a fine from the mro and only didn't get worse because viney got up and played on?

if this worm gets a gf gig i will go hee

Jeremy McGovern has been offered a fine for this incident with Jack Viney - AFL,Tribunal

 


Well Nicholls proved yet again he is a horrible umpire. Standing right in front of them during that incident and didn’t even reverse the free kick for a punch to the throat. He’s a despicable cheater. How the [censored] is he still employed?! It has to be some sort of conspiracy!

I don't know about conspiracy 'Travis' but I do know I enjoy any game he umpires less, whether we're in it or not.

He makes the game less enjoyable to watch.

Disgusting by umpire Nicholls. He is universally hated because he is a terrible umpire. How can the AFL umpiring department not see this when everyone else can? 

Can't wait for the laughable decisions he comes up with if he gets a GF gig. Could hand one of the sides the cup.

No surprises that Nichols misses the GF.....he is a stain.

 

Matt Stevic, Shaun Ryan and Brett Rosebury are set to be unveiled on Tuesday morning as the official whistleblowers for Saturday’s blockbuster between West Coast and Collingwood at the MCG.

Not just 'The Brazilian', none of the umpires from our match made the GF. Razor the emergency is as close as they got. We clearly got the 2nd raters for our match (if we didn't know it already).

Now that we are a clearly top 6 club

Will we get better umpires next year and better tv coverage? 

I can watch in comfort from home rather than finding a pub close by,  too far to attend each week   Got to 3 games this year  (plus finals)

still flat. But we did much better than 2017 but what s shite way to end the year 

no goals 6 points to half time

what about the first 4 goals we gave them

go dees!

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
