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.

Good to see the kangas generate their shots from fks.

[censored] me, bow do u got from.petracca getting leffed to dubious high fks.

Mindboggling

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

 

Not an umpire basher but [censored] me. West coast got 14 free kicks all game AT HOME. North have 10 to qtr time.

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: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
