Gee that was heartless from the umpire 

Diabolically bad missed dropping the ball from Stevic, cost Saints a goal.

Right in front of him, as clear a decision as could be and he doesn’t pay it

They say he is one of the best 😂😂

That was everything that is so frustrating about inconsistencies in umpiring all wrapped up in five seconds of football.

Just garbage 

 

Surely Stevic thought Clark got a bit of boot to ball, you can’t miss that otherwise right in front of you.

WTF the umpiring in this game is atrocious. Saints are being crucified! Freo player gets striped of the ball as he attempted to kick, incorrect disposal but no that’s play on, ball spills to Saints who takes ball, gets tackled but that’s holding the ball, free kick, then 50m for dissent. Freo kick goal to snuff out the game. Utter [censored] fro the umps and there have been 3 or 4 earlier howlers.

and very precious.  

And Gillon wonders why they are not respected.

The only justification I can think of is that Stevic thought the ball hit the Freo player's boot.

To not pay that holding the ball otherwise is incredulous.

He was right to call holding the ball on Hill straight after, and then the dissent on Butler was probably there, but seriously, there's little to no chance the ball hit the Freo player's foot and 999 times out of 1000 you'd just pay holding the ball and move on.

Depends if you're optimistic about our run home or pessimistic.

If you're optimistic, you want St Kilda to win. Fremantle is a top 4 rival so we want to finish above them.

If you're pessimistic, and you're worried about us making finals, you want Fremantle to win. Puts St Kilda three games behind us in the run to the top 8.

If you're pessimistic you also want GWS to beat Port just to rule Port out (they'd be 5 games behind us with 6 to go).

Summed up your quintessential footy supporter ... both pessimistic & optimistic at the same time!

 

Top 8 starting to look pretty settled - not the order but the teams.  Saints not quite there, and Dogs look cooked.  GC$ just maybe an outside chance to squeeze in especially if they perform like today. 


Maggot 20 was one of the key offenders in Adelaide last week, so of course he would given the match of the round on a Saturday night.

Reckon the crows should beat hawks today. Hawks in terrible form and lost key players

also tipping the bombers. 9 changes too many and the bombers might go on a run which will help us

The frenetic pace of this game, though!

I'm sorry you're knackered WCW.

“Don’t come Monday”

The ol' DCM. I would add, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. And don't even think about coming near Gosh's.

Not helpful that Tigers play Dockers at G in 2 weeks and have lost both rucks and Lynch.

We need a top 2 finish to guarantee home final, unless all Vic teams in top 4.

Of course we still need to make the top 4.

It’s not a matter of pessimism or optimism. Its more about the reality of the current situation. Freo are white hot and unrealistic to expect them to stumble. Currently we are equal to the Saints as the worst performed top 9 teams for the last 6 rounds and we have two games against sides that are still desperate to make finals and the rest are top 8. If we don’t improve we will slide rapidly down the ladder. If we improve and make top 4 then it’s a moot point. But as yet there no clear signs we can recapture our winning form and hunger so having a top 8 buffer is better for finals appearance chances. We are at the crossroads now and can’t afford a lame performance next week against Port which will be pumped up.  We need all the  helpful variables available to get out game back in order for a strong finals campaign.

All good QD. 🤗 It was temporary. I’m now happily unknackered. 😁

Posts that age well.

I'm pleased it did but prefer it was another dill


Essendrug decides to play some decent footy when there is no pressure on them. 
 

Marvellous, may it continue for years 

If Melbourne finish fourth we'll likely play Geelong(Ist) at the MCG in the QF. No difference finishing on top really.

Cant lose to Port or Dogs otherwise 5-8 looms. Knowing our luck we'd cop Sydney at the SCG. season over.

 

That's another new addition upon becoming a proper contender

We have a need to barrack for Essendon!! Ugh!

Essendon have this game won. Lions look horrible which is understandable losing almost half your team

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    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.
