Fisher needs to be thrown out as an umpire. What a joke of an umpire. They say those who can’t do teach. Well this [censored] can’t play or umpire.

    Midfield getting destroyed 

    For what’s supposed to be our greatest strength this happens way too often 

     

    Maggots doing what Gil has told them.

    Yeah that's a fair assessment for this term.

    However, our back line has kept us in it and we can absolutely get better from here.

    Yeah the backs are doing a decent job. Aside from the odd free kick given away they've been solid.

    Pretty tough term for us.  I don't think we played badly, just that the Lions were on fire through the middle of the ground.  I don't think they could have played better in the conditions.

    However, our back line has kept us in the game, and I really don't think we're out of it by any stretch.  We are a couple of goals down and I think we can get better from here.  Plenty can lift and are capable of lifting.

    Umps are absolutely murdering us though, which is hard to stomach, and Brisbane seemed to be reveling in it which is annoying.

    That zorko clap is so infuriating, hopefully may flattens that [censored].

    Umpiring pretty soft gifting a few goals but we got flogged that QTR lucky to still be in it.

    Gawn gets kneed in the back of the head by a show off going for mark of the year but gets nothing. Then Brisbane gets too high for what. They didn't even want to show it. Biased bull#%@#

    Mids need to step up but we are getting sucked into the contest and beaten on the outside. I know I’m one eyed but these umpires are killing the game. 

    Am i the only person In this world that believes gus isn't afl standard this year?? Surely he needs to be dropped

    the way that they are umpiring/not umpiring the holding the ball is THE joke of the season!

    The umpiring is undoubtedly one of the reasons we're behind - they're holding us at stoppages, they're dropping it out of tackles, and they're getting rewarded for HTB when we aren't.

    The crowd is heavily in their favour which doesn't help on that front (some sort of "home" game this is, thanks AFL).

    But this is really only a small part of it. Our mids are way off the pace compared to last week. We're losing CPs and clearances despite Max being on top in the hit outs.

    We're reverting to some old habits with the ball, too. Kicks are missing targets, and under their midfield's pressure we're starting to play hot potato with the ball.

    Having said all that, we've weathered a big Brisbane storm in that quarter and we're only 14 points behind. It's not an insurmountable deficit if we can lift around the stoppages.

    Worst umpiring I've seen all year.

    Why the [censored] did Robinson get a free kick?

    The umps are a [censored] disgraceful. 
     

    Bloody yellow maggots. 

    Umpire is having a big game.Shut up and [censored] off you [censored] of man.


    If our midfield doesn’t pull the finger out we will get smashed. Lucky they missed so many this quarter or it would be game over. 
    Langdon has had what, one touch? Jones is giving us nothing sadly. Time to make some changes. 

    more passengers than the Indian Pacific.....being smashed all over the park - Healey is correct spot on.

    I agree, I’m not a umpire basher but we are getting killed by them. 
    Max gets knocked down in the marking contest and then he doesn’t get the chance to nominate for the ruck.  Some common sense wouldn’t go astray. 
    We are still in the game just need to get 1st hands on the ball

    That was a valid marking attempt. Rayner clearly got hands to the ball.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
