    What a total disgraceful umpiring performance. Welcome to 2021.

    We have this game on our terms. Defence on top. Applying pressure up the field. Port just bombing it in. 

    BB presence making a big difference up forward

    Kozzie is back

    We’re well on our way. 12 goals will win this.

    OMFG that free to Dixon was absolutely terrible, bloody maggots

    Especially when you look at the non holding the man to Oliver which they goaled from.

    16 to 9 frees against us.

    We were doing well and the umps stepped back in.

    But no slow start. 

    Mids are on.

    Anb needs to lift.

    Petty doing well.

    Didn’t the guy tackle him after the ump blew the whistle? If so, it’s 50

    yeah nah, I’m just AMAZED it went our way. 

    Dees will come out firing after half time with that bs goal on the siren. We're in the box seat ladies and gentlemen.

    I’ve had enough of ANB. He is not up to Afl senior footy. I just don’t get it. Don’t wanna hear how hard he runs. Couldn’t give a [censored] about that. It’s not a track event!

    Buuuuuuuuullllllllsssshhhhhhhhiiiiiitttttt free paid against May. Dixon has done nothing, looking forward to May continuing the clinic against him in the second half.

    Now comes our best half statistically. If we can stay on top in the middle we got this.

    Great quarter. Intensity great. 

    Petty has been a star.

    Two small things. Harmes or Jordon need to close down Boak. And stop giving unnecessary free kicks away!

    Umpires like he plays. Trash.

    Still can’t put a side to the sword. 26 points up petracca had two chances to push the 5 goal barrier. Snap missed then should have had a ping from 55 open goal square instead put it on Allirs head. 
     

    Umpiring in 2021 is trash and is impacting the outcomes of games. Get rid of any new rules brought in over the past five years and get the rules back manageable for the umpires to officiate. The current state of the game and officiating is appalling for all.

    So now you can’t tackle. May tackles Dixon, ball knocked free and he gets a free for holding? So we are talking nano seconds in terms of whether the player incorrectly disposes or the tackler is holding the man. Gee it’s a hard game to umpire, they say but maybe that’s because the umpires make it that way!

    good first half need to keep the pressure on and run over the top of this lot. we cannot become complacent we have the opposition, the crowd and the umpires against us. so we need to keep working harder. we play so much better when we share the ball around and play on.

    Did you miss an "i" in his surname between the g and n?

    That goal on halftime will keep the boys on their toes at half time -  no complacency…

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
