Siren clearly went after the ball went out. I would be furious if that was us. 

I guess the question is that the siren went before the umpire called it deliberate. so does the decision have to be made pre siren or the infringement. 

I guess jimmy stynes, were he here, would have an opinion. ran over the mark AFTER the siren.

    Feel bad for Jacko, don't think he realises what he's gotten himself into over there

    I feel almost exactly the same without the feeling bad part.

    Good seeing Jackson doing as well with Fremantle in the first two games as he did with us for most of 2022.

     If he didn’t, that’s on him. he had everything going for him at the Dees.

    To see the dockets loose like that after 34 free kicks was magnificent

    Hopefully they kept their docket 😜

    It was “paid” but deemed after siren which it wasn’t. 

    Ah the injustice of it all.  Fremantle lose by a point courtesy of a dodgy umpiring non decision. Truly magnificent.

    Did it happen before or after? I wish I cared, I really do. But I don't at all. Good on the Roos!

    Good job we traded Jackson. He's been terrible first 2 games for Freo. Grundy a much better option to cover for Max while he's injured.

    Time clock went to zero before ball went out. Fair result as siren was sounded well after.

    Hmm, interesting point.  Lots of controversy which will hopefully distract Freo and lead to more losses 😂

    It's a shame there wasn't recent history of MFC talls heading to freo for the go-home factor only to struggle with sky-high expectations and cop grief from fans and the press over there.

    The umpire mics is interesting.  Siren and ball going out is simultaneous, and the umpires very, very quickly call its game over.  They have no doubt.

    Is Jackson a "unicorn" because like the single horn all he can do is manage a single mark a game or is it because like the animal his goal kicking skills are mythical?

    I hope for his sake he improves before they really start piling on the pressure over here.

    Ahhhh, not watching with sound, playing vinyl instead. Much better. 
    Thanks for the clarification.

    Delighted Freo got beat but having poor umpire decisions decide games is [censored] poor. 
    I’ve come to the opinion that the AFL are happy with  a poor standard of umpiring and a joke of MRO as it creates headlines and interest during the week.

     
    Wouldn’t  be too hard to improve the standard of umpiring by making them full time and well paid or make the rules easier to adjudicate.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      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?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      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?
