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.

    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.

    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: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
