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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
