Umpires were actually deplorable at so many key moments tonight. Not withstanding we butchered it time and time again, but seriously ... mind boggling decisions at crucial times 

Least of our issues. Umpires arent causing the continual brain farts, fumbles, lack of leadership, continued repeated mistakes etc.

    Totally agree, but the 4 goals as a direct result of bull shot frees certainly doesn’t help

    Am I alone in thinking hunt has been good tonight ?

    not good enough, tackles to the softer side of the tackleee...  missing out on  upsetting the disposal.

    Hhunt does not have what we need.

    I'm disappointed in what I've seen of him so far this season.


    It’s very hard to win when we are playing two short each week. That number 5 and 7 aren’t playing for us anymore.

    Its more our structure, that isn't working any longer...  666 has unpicked the zone.

    And our Mids setup has been worked out, and worked over.   We no longer control the centre bounces.

    I disagree with the middle.  We no longer control it when either of Viney or Jones go through there.  They are turtle paced and just end up giving a handball to a player under even more pressure as a result.

    The minute neither of them play through there we start looking more mobile.

    Clarry's also had a very ordinary night by his standards.

    Anyone blaming the umpires is kidding themselves. Spine Wied, TMac, OMac, Frost = years of heartbreak. This team is absolute crap.

    Image result for why can't we have both

    Just cant believe this....

    What a disaster


    Waiting for Goodwin presser ..... better effort, 100 points plus for the first time, no mention of being toweled up by a cellar dweller, with limited rotation for much of the game.

    All too familiar.

    Definitely need on field leaders, of whom we have NONE. 

    Umpires have officially lost the plot!

    [censored] off. They have made disgraceful decisions all night in scoring position.

    poxy footy

    Frost is a [censored] dear in the headlights. Thanks everyone but I’m outta here for a while. Over 30 years of supporting this club and this really hurts. Imagine how good it would have been if I had waited a bit and picked west coast...I’m from Perth and just went too early

    I would have thought I was pretty clear in saying notwithstanding us butchering the ball. I assume you had a brain fart yourself and completely missed that part of my comment. 

    Now before you start kicking the guts out of our team... analyse the influence the umpires have had on the result

    • 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.

      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?
