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: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
