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.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
