POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Adelaide

The umpiring was a stitch up. 

Plenty to like though. Tracc 30 and 3, Oliver doing Oliver things, Langdon back to his best, May and Lever holding firm. 

Hated the easy misses in the third quarter though. Brown and Bedford shouldn't be spraying them from 20 out.

    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. 

    And that stat was also never shown on the coverage. I find it easier (less stressful)  to watch the games on TV with the sound off - but those commentators were desperately barracking for Adelaide.

    Great win in hostile territory against that mob. Viney, no fear, on season form he deserves AA. 
    I’m sure that the ova shoulder against May on their ff, on the fifty line 2nd qtr I think, was actually his own teammates arm across his shoulder, fmd. I’m sure they try their best.

    I was watching on Kayo and Jason Dunstall was talking up Clarry and Melbourne big time. “Oliver’s hands when he is being tackled are the best I have ever seen” and then Oliver handballed to Langdon 5m away when he had absolutely no right to. He is quite obviously a freak

    Worst umpiring I’ve seen in years. None of our tackles rewarded, Adelaide paid marks over the boundary line, Tex Walker basically cheating the ruck system, high tackles not paid etc. 

    [censored], I loved it when we kicked those two quick goals in the last qtr and shut up those stupid Crom supporters and said a big F you to the umpires trying to steal it from us.

    Also, blessed that we get to watch Oliver, Trac and Viney at their absolute best.

    I put in the non mfc games forum I'd love to see one of our mids kick 3 goals like merrett did for the bombers today and Trac step up and di it. It was good to see him kicking straight again.

    Mitch brown was really good today.  Tried really hard and held his own better and better in Ruck as game went on.  Also ran to good spots when playing forward

    That blocking free against Brown was the worst decision of the year.

    The umpiring is the biggest blight on our game and the only strategy the AFL has is to stop players complaining about it.

    But hey, what about Robbie Williams at the Grand Final.

    Priorities priorities

    So, anyone wanna have a guess on Gil's email address?

    We should all send him some feedback on that state of our game.

    What about the non free when Oliver had his head ripped off right in front of the umpire in the last quarter? Unbelievable.

    I don’t know what it is about bogan stadium but this is the second yr in a row the umps have been PATHETIC. 

    Lucky this time it didn’t cost us 4 points but my god they tried their best to get the cows over the line. It’s a disgrace.

    Massively satisfying win. It genuinely felt like every marginal decision would be called or not called in Adelaide’s favour.

    Has there ever been a player as likeable as Tex Walker? When he started leaning into tackles like Weightman, it took my affection to a whole new level.

    - Petracca looking much more confident and dynamic.

    -Langdon’s run was massively important responding to Adelaide in the last quarter.

    Great 12th win in hostile territory.

    Mids were great and backs were intercept kings.

    Kozzi was intimidating and got some help in that 3rd qtr.

    Onto Mordor!

    Win, lose or draw, that umpiring was so biased.  Im glad we took the points, but thre umpires  worked hand to get them over the line.

    Classic case of player looking at opponent rather than ball. Worst free I’ve seen for a long time

    @Kent do you recognise that structurally we had some important players out?

    We had 9 scoring shots more than them and won by 29 points...

    There is probably 2 reasons and an outcome there that may help you make sense of your question.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
