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.

Let’s all get on here and read about the umpires…

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!

DISGRACE 

Great win with no rucks and unbelievably biased umpiring: at the ground I was just laughing at the decisions at the end what can you do?

I still cant understand why  it is so hard for us to beat this mob.We seem to make it hard for ourselves.Other teams don,t seem to have this trouble Please advise!

It's called a game in 5 days time.

Well in Dees silenced the haters.

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

No rucks.

No frees.

 

No problem.

Go Dees!

@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.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
