    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: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
