Darcy Moore might have done his knee here. Looks bad for him

Moore done for the season I reckon. There goes Collingwood's chances.

 

David Noble has to get sacked this week. Feel for the guy but Norf are truly a miserable proposition. 

I doubt it.... looked like a bruised knee (hyperextension) rather than something serious

Dew not happy with the umps. Fair enough I’d say as well shocking non decisions.

How about Took with only eyes for the ball, getting his legs smashed out from under him in that last 4 minutes.... "play on" ....hilarious.

What a joke the umps have turned this game into through their ineptitude.  And the AFL keeps backing them in with their constant "nothing to see here!"

I'm watching Wimbledon. But flicking in between.

Will be interesting to see how these older Geelong players get up in 5 days time

It looks like they have just had the bye renamed Norf

Suns stuffed that up completely. Umps didn't help their cause

Seems like you can now take 3 opponents on and get wrapped up in a tackle, make no attempt to get rid of it but as long as you don’t let the ball spill, it’s ball up. Then with 3 minutes to go a Suns bloke barely takes possession and gets stripped of the ball in heavy traffic and it’s incorrect disposal. Glad I am not an umpire.

as was the case with our game, the interpretation of holding the ball only applied to one team. 

The adjudication of prior opportunity and incorrect disposal has been bafflingly inconsistent today.

Is Noble worse than Neeld?

No. I feel (for different reasons) that he's the fall guy for an inept club much the same as the late Dean Bailey. Hiding to nothing stuff. For starters, their recruiting has been atrocious

Pies 6th on 10 wins and a percentage of 106. Winning a lot of tight games. Can't continue you'd think.

They play North, Adelaide and Essendon for their next three. I hope they don’t but it looks like they keep winning, I think you’re right though, it won’t continue being tight!

Make the umpires professional. Pay then top dollar for a top result 

They don’t deserve top dollar with those efforts. First they need to be made accountable for their performances, then comes the pay rise if they deserve them (by the looks of it, they seem to have already pocketed some extra cash from the filth and SA filth on tonight’s performances)

    GIANT HEADACHE by Whispering Jack

    The crack in the captain’s ankle might be very small but the repercussions of the injury are enormous. The aftershock of the news that Max Gawn will sit on the sidelines for the next two or three weeks has provided Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin with a giant headache, not unlike the one he faced after the Kings Birthday when another Demon superstar Christian Petracca suffered his season-ending injury. That headache is magnified by the fact that Goodwin is facing a month of tough encounters a

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    PODCAST: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demonland Podcast will not be LIVE on this week. Binman will do his regular stats files segment and will preview the upcoming Essendon match but will not be taking any questions this week. I will post the show here once I receive Binman's stats files. You can also find it wherever you get your podcasts from. We will return in our regular format once I return after the Dockers match.

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b
