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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
