    What a total disgraceful umpiring performance. Welcome to 2021. 

    They are dropping the ball continually and then we are getting pinged for hold the man.

    Agree disgraceful. You can throw the ball if you are the home Adelaide team, but heaven help you if you handball quickly it’s a throw if you are the away team.

    Boys playing well atm, hopefully can go another half against 25.

    they have had a couple of shots at goals from their forwards and backs blatantly pushing our players in the back, when are they going to pay those frees?

    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!

    Agreed. Delist as he won't be worth anything. Be so happy to see the back of him

    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.

     

    at least nibbles is where the ball is just a little fumbly tonight,nerves might get to him i think

    i like Ben Brown being in the side he is not getting a lot of the ball but is sucking up a lot of attention, that gives our other forwards a chance to get into the game.

    Why is it so hard to just have fair and balanced umpiring in SA?

    Its a very poor effort from these so called professionals.

    Felt sorry for May with that junk time free/goal on the siren.

    Umps have gifted port three goals.

    The worst , most biased umpiring I've ever seen was us v port in the last game at football park. This is a close second. I hate whinging about umpires but this is absolutely disgraceful.

    Big chance of a smashing here given how we run out games. Port will be getting told to lower their eyes though, if we adjust to that we should win this game comfortably

    100%. Brown is the one absorbing the 2 on 1. Which leaves our other players to compete.

    Perhaps you are too young to have seen Fitzroy's last game v Adelaide. Benchmark. 

    Go Dees

    FMD umpires ruining a good game. Oliver held massively

    gawn held in ruck contest. 
     

    when will I see what the umpires see

    Do you ever comment on anything other than the umpires? They have been incompetent, yes, but not solely to the benefit of Port.

    Can they just throw Harmes onto Boak for the second half? He's not done much, so may as well cancel Boak.

    I’m really proud of the intensity the boys showed in that half. They need to keep it up, but it’s the kind of intensity that really builds confidence.

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
