It seems the umps will pay holding the ball for a tackle over the line as well, which they've never done previously.

 

Huge LOLs if we end up snatching this.

It’ll be up there with the time we came from 44 down and beat Geelong in Geelong to win the minor premiership 

 

Lever been an absolute general tonight. Great leader.

Not sure we're doing Weid any favours by playing a half in the reserves and not give him a decent half in this game.


Tomlinson looks at least 2 steps slower than he should be. I wouldn't be playing him in round 1 unless the only alternative is…shudders…Smith.

Yeah that one was up there but nothing could beat coming back from 40 points down in a pre season game against Carlton at Marvel on a Thursday night in front of 15 people.

Nice to have 1 first stringer in to lead the way.

He’s not being impartial he’s been overly negative. It’s unprofessional. 

Lyon tipped against us 90% of the time up until mid last year instead of being patriotic. His success in the footy tipping was more important to him instead of showing loyalty to the boys. He only decided to jump on the bandwagon as a passionate Demon late last year.


This is embarrassing by the umpires. AFL needs to rectify that before the sesson. 

50m penalty for shaking your head while looking at the ground

 

If this is how the game will be umpired this year it will be unwatchable, they expect players to be robots 

I don't care about the result. I'm just glad we know how strictly this "umpire criticism" rule is going to be interpreted. It looks to me like it's a "don't show visible disappointment at anything" rule, which is…a bit too far.


It is now a 50 Meter  penalty for shaking your head.

 

This umpire over correction is rubbish. 
Put them on a pedestal and they’ll milk it for all it’s worth.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
