Foxtel mate. But pretty sure the AFL website has replays you can watch or try the channel 7 app?

AFL website works perfectly, especially as l watch it through my APPLE TV device using my ipad. Great trick!

One bad mistake. The goal to English just before half time, only occurred  because, first, Petty was blocked, and then Gawn was . Quite obviously really!

Those 'blocks' were very obvious yet not picked up by the snot goblins in the contest. Was it a case of score-evening by the umpires? (Yet again.)

Courtesy of Stephen Anderson off FB... the bias against the Demons continues.  Razor or no Razor.  T-Mac shirt fronted no eyes for the ball no free...

Then May ... inflicts a perfect spoil.  Zero chopping zero holding and be unlucky to get called in basketball but wait... somehow it was "Arm interference".  There is vision of this if you scroll down in the comments section of the linked video above

What about Cordy mouthing off at him after obviously getting him high.

Fritsch just went back, curled the goal around, and got on with it.

That should have been 50m, just get back and stand on the mark you muppet.

Good to see Weid come in to help him, but how about Razor just telling Weid to walk away and saying nothing about the bloke who kept bumping someone while he was trying to get up. 

Exactly. Interference with a possible injured player is reportable and the ump should have been in his face getting him away from fritta.

yeah i saw that too. my first instinct is i wanted weid to be a bit stronger. it made me miss viney tbh. one of these days, and it may well be against the lions, a side is going to try physically intimidate us ..and i don’t mean at or around the ball. weid, jackson, tmac, lever are all wonderful players but they wouldn’t strike physical fear into a mouse. 

Tbh I loved what Weid did, blocked him, told him to [censored] off but did it without any chance of a reversal being paid. Viney probably clobbers him and Razor reverses the free.

So if you watched the Sunday Footy Show there was a 2 minute snippet of how the Demons go from attack to defence so well which confused and mucked the Doggies on Friday night.

Every other match was covered with a full review & highlights package, including votes , except ours.

This included extensive coverage of what was, apparently, the greatest win in recent history by Essendrug over the Eagles with player interview and similar coverage of the Cats win over the Pies with Issac Smith interviewed.

Apparently our win/top of the table block buster match was an aberration that only warranted a 2 minute analysis from Browny at the start.

This conspiracy theory is getting tiresome. And as for Razor Ray, if anything, he has treated us very well over the past couple of seasons.

Yep - and I watched it all to see them cover the dees. Waste of a couple of hours - could have watched the game again

You think there's a bias against us?  Every team has supporters that like to think that. 

There's an old saying that given a choice between a conspiracy and a stuff-up, always go for the stuff-up (umpiring error in this particular case).

Or, as Hanlon's Razor would have it, "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity".

This notion of the umpires or the AFL being biased against us is as nonsensical as the supposed curse afflicting us and is a symptom of a pathetic, self-pitying victim mentality.

We are better than that, as evidenced by Goodwin's refusal to blame the umpiring at the end of the Crows game.

And the stats would say that we do ok relative to other clubs (this was at Round 8)...

You are both watching different games to me then  fellas.  There's alot of hate out there for the Demons and it ripples through the AFL community like a cancer. 

If you want to hide under a blanket that's your choice.  Last week's two non-decisions toward the end effectively cost us the match.  But let's pretend it never happened.  All will be well if we just close our eyes and pray!

In which case, as we have a differential of +15, Richmond must be absolutely despised, with a differential of -50!

Genuinely curious... I just assumed there was apathy...

What's the hate about Rusty?

How is it evidenced throughout the AFL community?

Maybe so, but the point I was making is that the umpires stuffed up and it's not a symptom of some giant conspiracy or bias against MFC.  Stop being a sook.

Just one example EO.  That's not apathy that's a deliberate decision by the producers/those running the show.

The last one wasn't a stuff up...the umpire in question admitted the free kick was there and he decided not to pay it.

A link to the quote from said umpire would be nice... are you sure he wasn’t saying that upon watching a replay of the incident, that the free probably was there?

It’s funny you say that. I’m positive a read a poster (can’t remember who it was) but before the Adelaide game they wouldnt be surprised if Adelaide won, if it meant that we’d beat the bulldogs the week after, or something along those lines. I thought at the time, yeah I’d have to agree. Who was that?

It might have been me who wrote that.

I said I’d take a loss to Adelaide if it meant we’d beat the Dogs. I certainly didn’t expect to lose to Adelaide though.

The conspiracy theory argument is your concoction DS.

I'm just saying the hate/loathing is there and there's alot if it about.  That it manifests in various forms, including bias by some umpires, commentators (eg BT) etc along the way

No one other than yourself is claiming it's a conspiracy where everyone is in on the act.

Example of your OOT accusation...I did not say the whole of Chanel 9... i referred to one football show.

That's the easiest way to diffuse a dust-up these days. "You blokes are all in the protected zone. Who wants the 50 metres ?"

He swapped a high 5 with Gus in 2018! after NOT paying a clear deliberate out of bounds by Gus. In front of members stand too.
