Brilliant win - lack of accuracy stopped it bring an 8 or 9 goal win.

Just want to shine a light on Sam Weideman - what an effort today.

Abysmal umpiring

    It was a good warm up for the avalanche of free against next week at skinny stadium.

    The Weid did his bit today. Was always going to be tough for him

    I’m really enjoying the salty tears of Adelaide fans crying that Lever is soft for going down when hit in the guts. Yet Foggerty ran away like a little scared cat the moment Viney stepped in.

    Sam did good but we miss a ruck. Not just in the contest but around the ground. O’Brien was influential in the air. Weideman needs to find his own niche - what he excels in, and really hone in on it. It’s it’s tackling pressure then so be it try lay 10 plus tackles. Each tackle creates a potential spillage for our mids to mop up. Good effort by us. Up against it and came through with a win. Those games up there are always like this for us.

    Today was the type of win I’d expect. 

    Keep them at arms length, but pull away when required.

    The problem for them was Taylor Walker’s corky. He was the only bloke who could have won the game for them. After his cameo in the first half, he was barely sighted.

    On its day, no one beats our mids. Lots of trios have a mixture of grunt and class. Our three best engine room mids are some of the physically strongest I’ve seen. The Lions of the early ‘00s are the only midfielders who could not get physically pummeled by our blokes.

    Off to Mordor now. Geez I want us to knock them off. The media suckholes are champing at the bit to designate Geelong some type of premiership frontrunner and I don’t want us to give them a reason to.

    Can’t believe not a word from Foxtel commentators on what was probably the worst umpiring performances this season. 
     

    Really happy for Mitch Brown to bag 2 goals, tried hard in the ruck, but way undersized.. Has been a great team man for Melbourne and deserved a bit of reward.

    Clarry just the lazy 13 tackles tonight (on top of his usual ridiculous stats).

    Things you love to see from players AFTER signing a contract.

    I think an official complaint has more merit/power after a win.

    Does anyone know how many of their frees resulted in goals or scoring shots.

    One of the most appalling displays of umpiring I have ever seen and I've been around for a while.  The AFL have tried to make the umps some sort of footy celebrities for TV purposes, but their feel for the game and judgement is just so bad.  In fact, it currently is a blight on the game.  This win tonight is bigger for us than the score would suggest.  We had to beat incredible odds, which were solely down to atrocious umpiring, on Adelaide's turf and we did it with grit and determination.

    That's the Demon spirit, which nobody can deny.  Not even the umpires.   Go you mighty Demons.

    It may be also worth remembering the return game last year, when we beat Adelaide by 41 points

    I care, had a gut full of biased interstate umpiring for the last 30+ years. For a multi million dollar industry it's F'n amateur hour

    23 to 9 frees. That is as corrupt an umpiring exhibition as you will ever see. 

    Adelaide is a hole of town. Their supporters are feral. 

    They can farkl off

    ‘the roar of affirmation’ is real.  Umpires inevitably get sucked in to appeasing the crowd.  It is amazing to witness

    Even the clearly biased commentators were saying how incredible he is. 
    His hands are the best I’ve ever seen.

    Happy with the 4 points so lets move on to next week. I must say it was one of the worst umpiring exhibitions any one is likely to witness. They were a disgrace.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
