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: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
