Players moving on the mark quite a few times, no free. 

I bet one of ours will scratch their [censored] and a free will get called. 

Umpires letting the game flow tonight,  no doubt a directive from afl, I don't mind it so long as it is consistent

    Not sure I expect much on Saturday but if we show the endeavour of the blues this early I think we will win easily after the show 4 quarters 

    I expect us to start slow then ru right over the top

    Cobwebs and class so yes they should win but the blue boys are having a good dip

    Carlton are definitely on the up, they may miss out on finals but they are going to be battling the likes of us for a spot in the eight that’s for sure.

    Disgusting deliberate decision, absolutely incompetent umpiring.

    How about the non-call after the 2 bounces from McIntosh

    It was somewhere between HTB or a trip and the ump just called play-on because he couldn't decide

    Absolutely laughable

    I didn't realise how much I missed footy!  Stoked its back.  Couldn't give a stuff about the result, just happy to watching the real stuff again.

    I've forgotten how good Cripps is.  He's just been a bull tonight busting through tackles and using it beautifully.  He's everything I want Oliver to be.

    As for Dusty, imagine the luxury of leaving him forward where he's your most dangerous player and then roll him through the guts when you need some clearances.  I still think he's the best player in the comp.  He's everything I want Trac to be.

    Players should be allowed to go backwards, I like the rule but ridiculous that they can't move backwards

    Agreed. They should be able to move backwards

    So far there has been 50m penalties or warnings for the new stand on the mark rule, inside the protected area and also starting zones. Honestly, they have made it so complicated for umpires (who still aren’t full time professionals mind you), is there really any wonder it is all applied so inconsistently? On top of all that rubbish, they need to adjudicate the actual game with holding the ball, chopping the arms, in the back, front on contact, sliding in, the list goes on. What a mess.

    Ridiculous that a player on the mark can't run directly backwards.   We've seen a Richmond player on the mark swap by running backwards and being replaced without penalty.  Was that because the umpire has not yet called stand to the first player?  If so, as long as you immediately get a bit back from the actual mark, you can run backwards because surely the umpire can't call stand if you are not on the mark.  Confused.

    Wasn't over the mark , didn't move sideways, ridiculous decision.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
