Disgraceful from the umpires, absolutely disgraceful.

In that last passage: Petracca was held in the marking contest, then possibly tripped in the tackle, then Goldstein ducked, then Zurhaar ducked.

Tomlinson's getting well beaten by Larkey. Real problem there.

All four of our behinds should have been goals (maybe Pickett the exception). Trac kicks his and we lead. He missed, now we're two goals behind.

Make no mistake. They are a bottom 4, maybe bottom 2, side. They are awful. But we will lose this game if we don't lift.

    Frees: 3 for, 10 against.

    Just sloppy and undisciplined on our part. And costly.

    Umpiring [censored] awful. Goodwin has [censored] this game up by playing Gawn against Adelaide. We have a fight on our hands.

    North look horrible. What's the go with us giving up frees every time the my have the ball? Tidy this up and we win by 6 - 8 goals.

    Harmes is rubbish. Either play him in the midfield or don't play him at all.

    Umpire need to be taken out the back and shot

    Harmes.... not a defender.... Tomlison... not a bloody defender!!! Goody and selection committee get a grip.

    Every week we all say our skills are rubbish, again if we could kick straight and find a target we’d be in front.

     

    Umpire 31 has not paid us a free in 5 quarters so far. Disgrace.

    WTF is Jones playing? Zero possessions and zero imput.

    We look a little soft out the middle, without Viney.

     

    That will teach Goodwin that Melbourne can’t complain about the umpires

    When will they open their eyes and realise it's DUCKING. 

    Umpiring is terrible but something is wrong with us. I'm getting tired of hearing every week how bad the umpiring is we need to look at why this is happening and look within as well. I refuse to believe every umpiring group we have has it in for us.

    The majority of the 10 against weren't there.

    Examples: the reversal on Harmes, the "whatever it was" against Pickett, the two high tackles in the final chain.

    Add to that the obvious HTB missed in our forward line before Pickett's goal and the hold on Petracca in the final minute.

    There is some ill-discipline and stupidity though: vandenBerg and Harmes the principal offenders.

    Those last two high free kicks when they both ducked into it were just incredible. Resulted in a goal for them.

    Norf are atrocious we should be destroying them.

    Tomlinson is not a KPD. Bring back O'Mac.

    What is it with us? Do they hate us? Trac tripped, that [censored] was holding the ball and Goldstein ducked. All blatant. This is [censored].

    We are making this hard on ourselves but my god this umpiring is an outright disgrace.

    After Tommy's last effort i'm wondering about his Bin...

    3 effective disposals @ 43% (30% off AFL average), 2 Contested marks (1 inside 50), two 1%ers, 1 tackle in four quarters, 2 score involvements, 2 turnovers, 0 intercepts and 0 goals at 91% game time.

    Will need to be a miraculous turnaround.

    Preaching to the choir rusty. 

    That was horrible umpiring.

    Harmes gave away two goals  being silly and fumbly again

    Agree, the frees are there even if a few are pretty soft. Tidy up this part of our game and keep moving the ball quickly and directly a x we will smash them.

    • 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?

      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?
