Unfortunately the Umpires of today are part of the new generation when you tell them 'no' they get upset because mum and dad never said 'no' or they played a game where every body got a participation medal.

It is what some call the woke generation but some day they will wake up and find that world does not give you anything without hard work and set backs.

When I was an athletic official the head official once said 'we are there to support the main players and not be the center of attention so me must make ourselves invisible whilst inforcing the rule'.

    I'm all for cracking down on umpire abuse, but this is simply not umpire abuse in my books.

    Just another stat, anyone know in the games we lost last year, did we win the Frees count or not?

    We won the free kick count against Collingwood

    We drew the count against Adelaide

    We lost the count against GWS and the Dogs.

    Thus 1-2-1 in losses.

    Or, looking at it at another angle:

    Perhaps after the third 50 mtr penalty we gave away during the first quarter, one would've thought that the players may have picked up on a trend that was evolving throughout the night whereby  the umpires might have been applying less tolerance to backchat than normal, as directed by the league.

    Instead we gave up eight 50M penalties by 3 quarter time? Anyone know how many Carlton gave away? or did they actually exercise a bit of discipline on the night?

    Maybe we are so used to getting the short end of the stick anyway the supposed "reinforcement" of rules did not sink in...

    Ah yes, the interweb; the communications array the North used in the US Civil War. Often mis truths ran through there.

    Good quote, jnr.

    • 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?
