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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
