Very average game, even worse umpiring.

2 x rucks not working well. English had a good 1st qtr

Jetta still all class. Even after 11 weeks out. 

Working his way into it nicely...

 

Unfortunately we are almost 2 players short with the horrible form of ANB & Gus till half time.

If those two can improve a fair bit in the second half we have a decent chance.  Otherwise we will be over run from exhaustion with others trying to make up the difference in their lack of impact/output.

Very few teams could cover those two at the moment unless playing someone like GC.

Two gifted goals to Doggies by the maggots that quarter. New ruck rule this week I must have missed the notification! 

Watched from just after Lloyd's two goals.

We're doing better than this thread suggests but still not great. Massive amount of ball in our forward half but continued poor kicking inside, dropped marks, poor positioning, mistakes (e.g. Brayshaw's lack of awareness) are killing us.

Dominating through the middle though and their last goal was just an appalling free kick against Gawn.

I reckon many on here are over-rating Preuss. Maybe his shoulder is sore but his tapwork is nothing special, and when it hits the ground he's a liability at the moment.

That free against Max for the Bulldogs goal was one of the worst frees I've ever seen. 

It was that ridiculous, you have to question if it’s cheating. You have to,

 

The decision against Max for blocking was one of the worst calls i have seen in my entire life.

If you have any doubts, watch a replay.

[censored] disgusting call .

Cost us the lead ffs.

Worst free of the year.

Imagine a GF being decided by that free kick? 

These are the exact reasons why umpires need to be given suspensions. He clearly does not know or understand the rules , he is not fit to complete his job correctly. There is no excuses with frees like that, he was 3 metres from the ball with no obstructions in his view.

The Gawn Conspiracy. What is it with Max and the umps?

The umpiring isn’t affecting the result but it sure is affecting the watchability of this game, which I reckon is otherwise an enthralling contest if not the most skilled game ever. Even a few of the frees paid to us made me laugh out loud.

Enjoying Petty forward experiment-by-necessity. Not quite ready to call him a swingman yet, but he’s contested well and looks like he might do until we get actual forwards back.

Are you watching !!!! ANB is struggling for strength, but Gus has been off with an injury and has been far from  the worst.


Anb is a joke of a footballer. After watching the VFL today he can [censored] off and Wagner can have his spot for the rest of the year.

ANB is lost. Fumbly and disposal is poor. 

Baker should be ahead of anb

5 possessions or less:

Brayshaw, ANB, Preuss, Fritsch, Lockhart, Hannan, Dunkley, Frost (though honorable mentions to Petty and Jetta).

Gotta be honest here.... everyone can see i rated the guy due to my DL sig, but he has been bloody terrible this year.

Practically a liability.

LIFT ALEX!!!!!!

Lewis shouldn’t be watching the game without a blanket.

We are a worse team with him on the ground. Brings SFA.

Dalgliesh - yet this is his game 204!!!

It wasn’t Brayshaw’s lack of awareness, it was Clarry not putting a block on after the handball. Clarry should have had Brayshaws back.

This.

It was [censored] poor from Clarry

The anti-Max rule is alive and well!!!

Wasn't he penalised 5 times vs Saints in 2017 for the 'straight arm block'. 

It is the rule the umps pull out of their dusty old box when they want to bring Max down and give the ops an advantage.  Really hurts us when it is front of their goals.

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

  • CASEY: Collingwood

    It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
    The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
    Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
