Cheating by the umps

 

How in the world was that not a Frittata mark?

Umps back to their std form

STD - quite appropriate really.

    Is it super greasy, or have we forgotten how to mark a ball, or both? This is horrible to watch.


    Our form is not it. Let’s get this win and move on. 

    We've let them back into the game because of our dreadful finishing

    Second half will be a grind

     

    I'm pretty fu**ing [censored] off after that. 

    We have that much talent on the ground compared to them and are playing a weak brand of football.

    Really disappointing.

    Because he didn’t control an easy mark and was too busy looking where he was going to kick it before he took control of the ball

    We should be 30 points up.

    But no, once again our forward [censored] the bed when the opportunity presents itself.

    Our backline is saving our bacon and doing a tremendous job down back.

    Hope Steven May absolutely gives our forwards an absolute spray.

    Umps aren’t influencing this game. Our poor execution is though.

    Most frustrating game since the hawks draw.

    We really are so much better than them - but poor execution, missed simple handballs... ugh. So frustrating

    Terrible game of footy. We need to get back to basics, commit the body and just bank 4 points tonight. We’re in poor form so far this year, but like good teams do we’re grinding out wins despite not paying well.

    Trac having a bad night.

    Need more from Harmes, Kozzie, Friita and Tmac.

    Sw our best forward.

    Seriously I hope Goodwin tells them to get back to basics & get back to what we did well in that 1st quarter.

    We tried to do a bit to much that quarter when we just had to do the first option.

    It isn't pretty to watch

    Oh and kicking goals would be a good start

    Whoever said we’re playing like millionaires is spot on.

    Gotta get back to a more contested game style.

    It's like watching 10 years ago.

    100%. But we seem to do that in every 2nd quarter we play.

    Stop over possessing and get the ball moving forward.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      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.
