    Bad kicking is bad football. Suffer Carlton!

    3.5 minutes to go, Saints are up, ball is in their court. Still unsure who wins.

    But the joy of watching the Blues choke on the Friday night big stage means my weekend is off to a great start.

    Gotta feel for the umpires here. They’ve done everything they could do, but it just wasn’t quite enough.

    Wouldn’t you just love to be walking back to Southern Cross station amongst those Carlton tossers tonight!

    Absolutely disgraceful umpiring. No2...does not have any idea about  distance.Totally incompetent...five mtr distances many times,and paid marks

    Never had any confidence when he umpires one of our games.  Seems more interested in show ponying than giving an even go.  Someone somewhere must have data as to the free kick balance of each umpire vs each team .... I strongly suspect we would be on the far left of his ledger.

    Carlton were quite unimpressive tonight. 

    Can't help but feel more confident watching them tonight

    Now a definite chance to build a two game gap (plus %) to 3rd place.

    And then next week a classic 8 point game hopefully with our two preferred rucks back and rested.

    Will be interesting to see how we set up v Adelaide but hopefully we can scrounge a win with our depleted ruck stocks.  Big opportunity for Sam.

    What a disgraceful performance it was.  Even in the dying seconds they managed to find a 50!

    I usually switch off the game at the end but tonight I have left it on without the sound.

    Does anyone ever leave the sound on when that demented disorientated walrus wanders around the rooms with a microphone - looks like a long lost uncle who nobody cares about but "had to get an invitation" at a wedding.  Garbage.

    I know we are all meant to take it easy on the umpires, so to keep it fair, I will just say they were pathetic. They somehow contrived to give Carlton frees that were not there and at the same time, deny the Saints frees that were there.

    WTF goal review ???    Rushed behind and no suggestion that CFC kicked it and blind Freddie could see the it was ay over the line.  Madness.

    Wasn't it pointless whether it was over the line given the Saints player touched the goalpost with his other hand...

    Saints with a few good ins replacing poor players. Coming off a bed few weeks the Saints will win tonight

    Blues can’t keep coping with 7-8 players out and Saints look good every few weeks

    You were dead right 

    well played

    Saints only 9 frees, very low number.

    They had 6 free kicks at about the 8 minute mark of the fourth quarter.  That's barely 1.5 frees a quarter to that point.  Would have to be some sort of all time low number?

    The amount of 10 - 12 meter kicks that were allowed as marks was astoundingly poor judgement from too many of the officials tonight.  If they got a third wrong i would understand.  Had to be at least half this evening.

    At one stage, with no eyes on the ball until after initial contact, Cripps ran straight at Ryder in the ruck on the edge of the Saintsl's goal square.  A clear block a la Tommy Hawkins at his worst in the ruck but the ump just called play on.

    And what was that goal line review.  Two umps watching, one on either side, and neither could see that the ball clearly went over or the post was touched with the other hand?

    And the McKay free late in the last as Mr Leg has mentioned!??  As Brian would say in his grating whine...Wowee!

    There were some patches where i thought it was great to see the whistle put away but unfortunately any good work was short lived by being over officious or just poor calls, mostly against the Aints.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
