What was that last 50 for?

Trac got disappointed and the umpire didn't like that, especially when Trac looked at the umpire.

    Shaking your head = 50 

    Shaking your head and staring at ground = 6 week suspension

    Looks like it’s mandatory to smile when you get a decision against you! Ludicrous that’s about four 50’s for head shaking.

    This is a Melbourne vs umpires game on steroids. And that is fine. Everyone can see it. We won a flag last year against not just the best teams, but no rub of the green. No umpire or team, or individual can take that from us. Out game plan is designed to just keep playing to win.

    Is anyone really surprised that the AFLs continued tweeking, linked to the incompetence of the senior umpiring panel would lead to the catastrophe that we are witnessing tonight, where a player has lost the right to emotionally respond to a disappointing outcome with facial gesture and body language????

    Lol, wonder how many people are shaking their heads on here while posting about these farcical 50s.

    This is just absolute cr@p. Umpires getting high on their own sense of worth.

    If players can’t do anything even remotely considered demonstrative, then umps shouldn’t be allowed to talk back to the players (needs to go both ways).

    AFL doing a stellar job of trying to get people to respect umpires, with this level of ‘officiating’ going on. Just wait until someone gets done for remonstrating with their teammate and the ump thinking it’s all directed him.

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

    Typical AFL HQ overreaction. Pathetic.

    Small man syndrome will be off the charts this year with the new dissent rule. 

    The whole AFL world will rebel if they get more games like this one.

    8 x 50's in 3/4 is just ridiculous.

    Just when you thought the umpiring couldn't get any worse. The Petracca 50 happens. They are pretty little petals these poor excuses for umpires. Time for Gil to get common sense umpiring. We have been terrible but the difference has been the umpiring. How may 50's have we given away. I thought there couldn't be a worse umpiring game than the Bulldogs game I have now seen it. Carlton aren't that good the umpires have allowed them be great.

    Players know the rules and will just have to get used to this showing frustration. Maybe instead of swearing just let out a yell to vent or swear under your breath.. It's going to be so hard for players that have a bit of a temper. 

    But it needs to be consistent. I do not want to see a Dusty or Selwood or Dangerfield getting a warning or something. After watching tonight every player should now know to just shut up.

    Kind of funny that Fritsch is one of our better players on their non preferred

    On the money.

    Umpiring like this disgusts people rather than pleasing them.

    Seriously.  These new rule interpretations are just crazy.  Will they be consistently applied throughout the season?

    He's dropped a few marks tonight but nothing wrong with Fritchy's goal kicking. He's a top 50 player for sure.

    The interesting thing is that it was mentioned by a few umpires last year that we were a very respectful team.

    Looks like the frustration is making a difference as Carlton arent getting pinged.

    This is what practice games are for I guess.

    [censored] i hope not. Will only cause more and more supporters to become disenfranchised and drive them away from the game.

    • 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.

    • 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 return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      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.
