So Port defender deliberately kicks it to space and goes out.(no insufficient called), Port ruckman deliberately hits it out from a contest (not called), then the most contentious of them all gets called deliberate. The only thing umpires are consistent with is their inconsistency.

    Dogs tried for 10 mins. 

    easy 8 goal win coming up for Port

    Dogs are the most mentally fragile team in the league

    Tasty game over in Adelaide. If Port get up the Dogs will probably need to win 10 of their last 14 games just to fall into the 8.

    I’ve got a conspiracy theory:

    When there is a Goal review (where the goal umpire asks for help from upstairs) quite often the resulting decision from upstairs is made almost instantly after the TV commentators have just given their summation / opinion of what they believe the correct decision will be. It’s literally a couple of seconds. And they’re always now on the same page, having same decision on what has occurred – but in previous years they never used to be.

    So BT is the ARC? God save us all

    Great to see the faux handpass after a mark / free being called play on.  
    And even better a free against the Dogs for holding the ball. 
     

    PS and now a second one.  🤗🤗🤗

    Pity it isn’t paid consistently.

    Dogs have received 3 frees in marking contests in last 5 mins, where marks would have been paid

    Still frees are PA 16 : 11 WB

    Good to see Dogs getting a raw deal, but this is pretty blatant

    Despite how putrid Port has been for most of this year, Sam Powell-Pepper has been just about the only one of them who hasn't dropped off, and has actually turned into a useful footballer rather than just a battler.

    Dogs defence looking very short.  Worth playing balls against them?

    The only thing the Dogs have been freed from since the Grand Final, is the ability to win.

    Just saw 4 throws by the Dogs in a space of seconds not penalised.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?
