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. 

They get the Greene light from the AFL don't they.

Boomtish

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

So pay a free. But don’t tell the players the rules, it is not right

They are just plucking decisions out of their [censored]. Razor Ray the worst.


WTF was that holding free just on the siren?

Looked like a 50/50 or the Lion being held. Was that the showman Chamberpot who paid that?

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.

I hope they are not getting him to play wing (as has been reported in the media), has been very poor so far.

While he is better than some of our fringe players it will be a terrible decision if it takes our ability to pay for a quality player in the future away. I can't see where he fits into our team.

Exactly

Agree with you there.  But just because it 'has always been part of the game" does not justify actions which have nothing to do with the game.  If I wanted to watch boxing or karate, I wouldn't go to the footy.

It’s a physical game. Niggle has always been part of it

Certainly a physical game but why should good players in particular have to put up with incessant jabs (Essendon excepted), punches and elbows. 

Times do change - how many games would Jack Dyer or Ted Whitten or Leigh Matthews play in a year nowadays?

Don’t understand this game anymore 

Lions being a bit Melbournian dominating inside 50s but only scoring behinds. 

Bombing it in for the GW$ to take simple marks.

That is an interesting question, i am not against an Umpire calling a free. But it is Not his job to Coach players on how to play the game. 

Lions may as well kick the ball along the ground when entering fwd 50.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • 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.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    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?
