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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
