No awareness fitzsimons. could have dished it to bannan

 

Maggots at it again. How do you give a free for holding when there is a physical impossibility of seeing it.

 

Need to get the next goal. a 3 goal deficit against this Lions team would be very diffcult to claw back

Although she kicked it.

And not a peep out of the commentary team, because they are on the AFL payroll to promote this sub-standard officiating for the ‘good of the game’

How is it holding the ball when she kicked it

Bad umpiring kills games. That was disgraceful umpiring. 

 

On replay it looked like the ball touched the ground and then she kicked a drop kick. Is that then HTB?

She got a boot to it!! Wtf mate! In a sport where 1 or 2 goals can make the difference, just criminal

He actually called holding the ball as soon as the tackle was laid, you can see him in the background signal as the ball is dropping to the boot

i've just watched the replay. she just got boot to ball. my bad


It looked like the ball hit the ground first on the replay. At the end of the day she needed to pass it to a free teammate in the square. It was poor awareness and great play for Brisbane. 
They are a fantastic team. 

We often take a quarter or so to find ourselves, to hit our straps. Remember against Adelaide in the final?

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
