Brave by sparrow 

He was quieter that term, but I like what I've seen.  Brave, has some zip, neat user of the footy.  He has a future.

Free kick count now 23-11

Looking forward to razor ray getting on radio and saying the [censored] count should have been 28 - 5

These two teams won’t be contesting anything other than spoons anytime soon. 


The umpiring is appalling.

But we're still our own worst enemies.

The ball was largely in our forward half that quarter but we kicked 1.3.

Kudos to Oliver for improving his game from last week. Bursting from stoppages, breaking free from tackles, it's been a really important step in the right direction.

Lever and May have been huge.

So many passengers though.

This is a joke and not a word from the commentary. Eddie would have popped a vein if this was against Collingwood. 

Their not interested.

I’ve never seen a game with so many stupid soft free kicks given while missing the absolute obvious ones. It’s extraordinary.

Yeah but they go to the crows every time.

Not sure y we always give away frees for high tackles. It's like they don't know the rules. 

Surely taking the [censored]...

 


We need a royal commission into umpiring at Melbourne games. FMD. 

also, am i the only one that finds that whole commentating team really annoying and frankly, obviously biased. 

May and Lever really shone in that quarter. Gus also has lifted. Melksham conspicuous by his absence - again. Oliver and Viney very good.


This umpiring is terrible.  Funnier thing is that Melbourne has been worse

This game is mind blowingly horrible. Just. Horrible. 

Goodwin is not the future and neither are some of our players. This is meant to be a response game, its horrendous. Blame umpires all you like but we putrid.

Frees 23 to 11

Appalling bias

 

 

Wo's going to stand up and wi us the game

The crows players literally get a free anytime we lay a tackle. They just throw their head back at the bottom of a pack and the umps fall for it every time. 

They will get over 30 free kicks tonight... Pretty much the same amount of free kicks for two teams combined for an entire match.

High tackle? For what!??

What is the High tackle rule? Is it contact above the ankles? This is doing my head in. That must about 6 high tackle frees to the Crows so far and none of them were dangerously head high in any way. Then we have had numerous in the backs that were nothing of the sort.

23 frees to 11. 

 Add all the ones we’re not getting. Worst I’ve seen in a long time and I am an expert at complaining about umpires. 

AFL  Touch Footy

Well it’s going to need a 4 quarter performance.      But we are not playing too bad.  Just kept it up.   Hope they do not run out of puff. !!

  • 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?
