    12 finals but no GF in 376 games indicates the AFL might not have wanted him around much at the business end of seasons

    "... he will be retiring following this Sunday’s Round 22 match between Fremantle and the West Coast Eagles to be played at Optus Stadium in Perth"

    Words that must strike terror into the collective heart of the Freo footy club.

    How he was able to Umpire his favourite team on so many occassions is an indictment on the AFL.

    Shocking.

    Maybe the AFL asked him what his dream last game to umpire might be and temporarily forgot there might be an issue. 

    I reckon he might just blow the pea right out of the whistle this weekend.

    When's Nichols retiring?

    Hasn't been announced yet, so not soon enough.

    Total muppet and provided a shocking umpiring combo against us yet again.

    I admit though he is now more likeable after drawing all the WC fan hate. Like I detest cockroaches but the sad song La Cucaracha makes them kind of likeable for a few minutes.

    Margetts was one of the 2015 prelim final umpires where WC beat North. WC 24 frees and North 18. Josh Kennedy got 6 free kicks. I wonder who paid them?

    I wish Nicholls would pack it in.

    Ist qrt five frees to wc ...one to us.

    Second...four frees to wc ...one to us including a howler against rivers for pushing out darling in front of goal....rivers pinkie may have touched him. And a strange insufficient intent.

    Second half he wasn't so bad (maybe looked at his stats at halftime)with only a couple more frees to wc but they were pretty much accurate.

    His first half was poor....missing a couple of in the backs and htm to us and not paying marks.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?
