Not attacking Whitfield letting them go clear for a goal and forwards not taking the right options. Hoping j for a better second half

    Same role as TMacs.

    Oliver needs a rocket. Going half paced at man and has been sloppy with disposal. 

    Needs to impact in the middle, they've been killing us through there. 

    He's playing like he thinks he's god's gift. 

    Get back to hard basics Clarry and what you've built your reputation on.

    Some selfish play there tonight by a few of our boys cost a couple of better shots on goals.

    Watching the game with my father in law who follows the dogs, bloody infuriating as he continually claims more frees should be paid against us and claims none of ours should be paid 😒

    What's her gender got do with anything?

    I agree. ‘They’ are an absolute disgrace as an umpire and have zero game sense. Some of their decisions in that quarter were just in complete disregard for the way the game is played.

    Not sure we can blame the umpires for our poor forward entries and getting murdered around clearances.

    Thank god we have the greatest ever backline.

    100%.
    They held the joint together for much of last year as well.

    Stats wise he’s been pretty quiet but I thought his attack at the footy was ok…..would like to see the footy stick In his hands though!

    Three  goals from umpires

    I came here just to see if I was imagining the umpires turning the game. No, they are that bad. Keeping it close for primetime TV, or just useless.

    Sack that woman. She is horrible, if it was a man, I would be saying the same thing. Only pay a free kick if it's obvious. Umpires these days have no feel for the game whatsoever.

    Wonderful

    so you’ll be calling for “sack that man” and proclaiming same next time #amirite

    Yes, but one in particular has made several horrendous decisions, and has a reputation for such

    AFL tokenism she totally destroyed what was a magic moment. Of course no replay or commentary 

    Half time crew on Fox called it out for being a bad call. Not in the spirit of the game. It was worse on replay, Langdon barely made contact.

    Touched (?)

    yes there has been some poor umpiring, but we should still be doing a lot better, if our backline was not as good as it was we could potentially be behind with the number of forward 50 entries. We need to get back to playing team football. Kozzie's selfish attempt at a goal was not a good example. Our best play all day has been when we have played as a team. we need to get back to that. and try not to give the umpires too many excuses to give frees and goals against us.

    Areas we are getting absolutely killed. Clearances, contested possession and inside 50 delivery. Just bombing it long. Our back half are making us look good again. Should be slaughtering them but just can't put à team away.

    She is hopeless. Should be confined to umpiring AFLW only.

    AFLW umpiring standards should be any different to the mens.

    • 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.

      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?
