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].

    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: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
