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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
