  • If we can’t beat Melbourne then the season doesn’t look promising. 
  • Lol May. He's absolutely melting under pressure.
  • Pretty good considering we gave them 8 goals from awful use out of def 50.
  • Should've beaten those muppets.
  • Played against Melbourne and the umpires tonight.
  • Another reality check, still a bottom 4 side.
  • Gawn just tapped it to Melbourne mids at will out of the middle.
  • Forini is comfortably worst on ground. Lazy and [censored] weak.
  • Gawn is an awesome player, but seriously Witts is ******** aweful.
  • Melbourne playing like a team that has had the media riding and questioning them all week.
  • This mob has it all over us. 
  • Credit to Dees, we were trying to scratch it out but Dees pressure was awesome. Their effort was great.
  • They just kept kicking out to Gawn and he kept marking it. Need to at least contest better.
  • Dude (Max) is a weapon.
  • This is looking like 2019 all over again.

    Seriously?  The Umps were searching for frees to pay to GC all night.  That free to Rankine on the boundary...  WTF?  And the two dodgy frees to give Ellis his second goal.  Then there were all of the HTB decisions they paid to GC that they refused to pay to us...  The umps were a disgrace all night.

    Seriously right? Over on their FB page, they are ropeable about the umpiring.

    It's probably just a business that's paid to set up a site to look like a fan forum. Also known as astroturfing.

    The IP address for the GC website would be AFL House definitely.

    They were right about Max

    Thanks Gill

    This is like a teenager picking on the primary school kid. Collingwood or Hawks supporters would [censored] their pants laughing if they saw this. Let’s become relevant first...

    The constant theme in these oppo threads is Max Gawn.

    Makes you appreciate how lucky we are to have him.

    You’ve got to love it when both sets of supporters think they got the rough end of the pineapple with the umpiring. It’s why I don’t bother - I know I’m too one-eyed to judge objectively. Everyone who is invested in a team is.

    Our game is hard to umpire, made harder by ever-changing rules and interpretations, and weird and wonderful calls will get made sometimes. I reckon the culture of moaning about all the time is one of the uglier aspects of our game.

    Whilst I'm completely aligned with the thrust of your thread Nasher, I'm really surprised not to have read any analysis on the near elimination of biased umpiring performances during the Covid crisis and the obvious conclusion that the "noise of affirmation" phenomena is an irrefutable reality.

    Good point Nasher, maybe this topic should have it's own thread, but I think with the game slowing down due to the u/12 type tactics of teams these days, do we really need 3 (and sometimes 4 umpires),? Each has their own interpretation of the rules, which only fuels the inconsistency argument.  Most umpires are guessers, that is why habitual actors like Danger and Duckwood get frees paid to them constantly.

    I think the game needs just 2 umpires, lets face it for most of the game they are stuck one half or the other, I'm a great believer in human frailties being part of the game, get rid of the goal line technology, cut down to two umpires (one at each end) and let them make mistakes like everyone else  Shrug and get on with the game (win some lose some)

    Are they serious about the umps (or refs, as they'd call them)?

    Some of the HTB calls alone last night were atrocious!

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
