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

    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.

    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.

    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: 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?
