Eagles cannot be as bad as they are performing.

Almost makes one wish we had relegation to keep some honesty in the competition

    Tanking for sure. They want the No 1 draft pick and No 1 pre season draft pick to land an un contracted big fish as a back up if they can’t do a trade. We should be nervous.

    Have commentators been given a directive not to comment on umpiring errors?

    Crows v WCE ... 3rd goal, blatant throw to Soligo who kicked the goal. Perhaps the umpires were blindsided (all 3 of them!!), but the commentators Healy + others said nothing. 

    Same as last night. There was a lot of throwing from both sides.

    Hadn't thought of that but makes sense

    Their list is in a dreadful state. They should go to the draft and use those picks on 2 good young players not bundle for one.

    How so?

    They turned a pick in the mid 20’s into the 2 best years of Kelly’s career, then traded him out at his most valuable which gave them the points to get Cameron. If Kelly wasn’t so highly rated at the time they’d never get Cameron. If Kelly was traded today they’d not get those points.

    But they gave up 3 first round picks for Cameron. They thought the list was better than it was and that Cameron would be their answer to Riewoldt and Lynch.

    Well whether or not you think they did the right thing is a whole other argument (which I agree with), but I’m more suggesting Geelong got what they wanted, and got very lucky to get it, and the Eagles made a list destroying decision.

    Especially because he was 4 at the time.

    Ginnivan paid a free for the same thing Spaz got called holding the ball last night. Corrupt or incompetent?

    A strict free kick filth policy has been implemented today. The umpire closest to the play clearly forgot that, however another umpire 40 metres away rectified that by paying the free kick.

    No free kick paid to Sicily for the same thing in Q2 leading to a filth goal.

    I have found the definition of "prattling"; it's Lyon's overanalysis of every piece of play. I know he's the special comments guy, but he never shuts up. Reiwoldt is much better ... Hilarious comment pre game by Lyon ... the match between Oliver and Jiath is a match up for the ages. Really?

    Shocking free kick given against the pies which gives the Hawks the lead. Far out that was bad

    Jack Ginnivan: guernsey - much too short and much too tight. And shorts - big and baggy.  
    Fashion statement, or no mirror in the rooms?

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
