    Umpires not having their best night. Looking to pay free kicks and getting as many wrong as they get right.

    They've lost the plot. Nothing new there I guess.

    Certainly looked like it.

    Yes that was my thought toward the end of that second quarter. Let’s see how we go in the next half but come what may I think the umpires have had a shocker so far. Paying some very marginal frees but missing the obvious.

    Umpires telling players how to play. THAT IS NOT YOUR JOB

    If a player goes over the limit then pay a free, Charlie Cameron has a bad arm, but it was his decision to come back on.

    Would love to have Hipwood playing for us.  Weid is in a similar playing role and similar stage in his career but seems to be so far off impacting on a regular basis like this young up and comer.  Reads the ball so well and great overhead.  Works hard to get front position and to get separation on his opponent for the hit up.

    First line correct - but they do it all the time.  Second line: why he is on the field is irrelevant. AFL must be the only code where the players, officials and commentators have never bothered to read the rules.     The commentators' discussion about what's acceptable is a laugh.  Here's a simple way to avoid it.  Any contact which is deliberate and does not involve trying to get the ball, tackling, shepherding etc should be prohibited contact whether players are injured or not. Would cut out stupid niggling which has nothing to do with footy skills.

    Nothing wrong with testing out your opponent. Always been a part of the game

    Worst thing about it is the dribble we'll hear from the commentators about it now.

    Maybe, but these constant elbows to the ribs and the kidneys are unnecessary.

    The holding the ball in the middle.  Complete show pony.  Always wanting to be the center of attention.  [censored]

    Tomlinson watch:

    5 possessions and just directly cost his side a goal with a kick into the man on the mark.

    Me thinks he’s mentally checked out.

    Clearly two very different versions of holding the ball. 

    Who is 35 GW$?   Just throwing elbows to the larynx then kneed same guy in the head when on the ground. Dirty dog.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
