Tonight’s game is a tough one, having trouble deciding who to tip. Richmond have a couple of decent players out however really need to win to have any hope of a top 2 finish.

    Time to engage in that perennial Melbourne supporter activity of picking a second team to follow for the rest of the year.

    My favourite is GWS. The reason.... they're like fantasy football with their umpteen first round choices that you can then trade forever. Also their winning has little emotional impact upon anyone.

    Tonight's a tough one .. the pretentious against the entitled (not quite as entitled as Hawthorn though.) In a lacklustre round as was last week there could be a few upsets so...

    Richmond

    Carlton

    Gold Coast

    GWS

    Eagles

    PS time to watch the World Cup... go Sam Kerr !!

    I hope Gary Ablett is dealt with tonight. 

    Just a quiet elbow, would be somewhat appropriate karma to the little sniper...

    It'll need to be Martin to do it as only Brownlow medalists are permitted to punch people on-field.

    That was really terrible. Get the friggin cameras set up properly if you are going to do reviews. Will happen in a final one day.

    I just don’t get it, they showed 3 angles which were inconclusive to me anyway, yet they decide it’s a behind. Then we get another angle where we can see it’s a clear goal. It really is unprofessional.

    I thought it was a clear goal watching the normal speed before it was even replayed? Im staggered the goal umpire couldnt see that. Guess he was blocked, but hell!

    Meanwhile they want to spend $millions on a new Logo design. 

    It is getting worse. 

    Good cameras can be bought for $1,000 +-

    it is a joke and an indictment

    The umps are blind. So many kicks going 8, 9, 10 metres being paid as marks. Then Hawkins is about to run over the mark and give away 50 but Geelong's Infringement Prevention Coach (aka the umpire) tells him to "Hold, Tom!!!" Since when is it the umps' job to coach the players?

    Agree, and then watching the replays even without the front on camera you could see that there was absolutely no change in the rotation of the ball.

    If the ball had of hit the post you would have noticed a change in it's rotation...

    Poor goal umpiring and adjudication as well as poor pommy weather. I am not amused.

    • 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.
