If some people on here think that we are not being penalised pretty well every game they have severe visual incapacity..

    speaking of which, how come the mro haven't sanctioned buddy for staging. how come so little discussion on this bad decision (and kozzies) post game in the media

    if it was the filth or the tigers they would have kicked up loudly

    Exactly.

    Big club Coaches would be bleating about the decisions.

    There is a clear agenda IMO in the media to highlight certain things and overlook others.

    What about the excuse for Ginnivan's chicken wing not being cited. Oh they missed it. Still 6 days before his next game plenty of time to lay a charge.

    The rule is interpreted stupidly as well.  If someone is zooming through the protected area and there is no way (short of tearing all his ligaments) to actually turn and affect the player with the ball, then ignore it.   So rather than players and umpires guessing where 15m is, let them guess 'could the player actually affect they player with the ball'.   If a player zooms past but is so close the umpire thinks he could have affected things, ping him.  If not, don''t.

    It's a 10 metre protected area and Kozzie was double that away from Reid at all times. Disgraceful decision.

    That non citing is worth more than all the frees he has missed, as he would have got 2 weeks. 

    Oh that's right the MRO is Michael Christian and he played for ...........

    Wouldn't be surprised if the AFL told him to ignore it, as it would create more controversy.

    Disgraceful act, as even Dermie said, it was done to really hurt Dangerfield.

    The reason why Danger couldnt remonstrate was because he was already on the ground, wonder if Blondie would’ve done anything if Paddy was upright? Seriously, Ginivan has something coming for him surely. A pity Adams (a tough but fair player) did his groin and not that little worm.

    Sam Switkowski got 2 weeks for his chicken wing on Ginnivan earlier this season. On seeing this latest decision, Sam might think he’ll be getting an apology from the MRO.

    Sorry, but I come from the Allen Jakovich generation.

    Gee, the similarities up forward from Trac and Jako are evident.

    Maybe, this is the right time, especially with our problems with tall forwards, to push Ben Brown up the ground (CHF), and place Trac and Fritsch in the Goal square, with Kozzie/Spargs crumbing.

    Or, open up the forward line completely, and let Trac go one on one, aka Jako.

    We have not tried it yet.

    Not a bad idea FAR but then we have the problem of being a rotation down through the middle.

    Is there some online vision of this other than trolling through the replay Red?

    Uncle B will duck down into the cellar and choose a dusty bottle (circa 1960 but the label is deteriorated)

    And we know he'll settle down,... and invite the maid (Meredith is the Tuesday girl) to provide some comfort.

    Haha you seem to know an awful lot about BBO’s habits Handley. Is there something you want to tell us?

    The maggots knew what they were doing and carefully compounded and concocted three or four together  killer decisions to covertly bring our opposition back into the game.After the first one the smiles started coming back.and they pressed harder knowing that those maggots were about to let things roll.

    The mark whistle started as well. In other words all they had to do Reid in particular was put the ball in both hands and the maggot had his whistle in his mouth that quick that he nearly swallowed it.

    It was absolutely incorrect.

    It was incorrect. Kozzie was miles away, eyes fixed elsewhere, accelerating forward.

    If Petracca moving about freely is an issue we could just play him out of the goal square 

    Brisbane don't flood back like a lot of other teams (unless they change their tactics against us this time around)

    In our 2 previous encounters against them this season our forward line has not been crowded and as a result, our forward line has functioned very well both times

    So Petracca playing deep forward (up to a flank) would be a dangerous proposition for them.  And a potential match-winner for us

    We've got enough quality in the midfield to cover for Christian (that might be a different story if we advance to an encounter against the Cats)

    • 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?
