That's why I was confused, they were getting everything and all dubious.

I would have thought the umpiring factor was a wash. No need for him to bring it up.

    Yes lack of discipline was the context but I felt he didn't need to add the bit about 'handing it to them on a plate' as they also scored from our frees/50's against.

    The free to Rooey in the last was dodgy. The Swan had no prior opportunity...but they paid several against us that way as well.

    Umpiring was horrific but it was poor for both sides. Umpire #32 clearly had his life savings on a Swans win. 

    The 50s they gave away were all clearly there. The dissent one you could argue was soft, but unsure if we can’t hear the Sydney player’s reaction… he could have swore at the umpire.
    But the others were for a late hit and knocking the ball out after a mark. Both clear 50s. Not sure there is anything to complain about from Sydney other than ill discipline.

    At least there was no panic in our game day thread in the 2nd and 3rd quarter ...

    Giving them credit.

    While looking for updates I came across this banter:

    • Removing myself from the desire to absolutely thrash Melbourne this week for a moment, congratulations to Clayton Oliver, who is playing game 150 this weekend. Very few players can say they're a great of the game before they've even played their 150th game. One of my favourite non-Swans and an absolute freak. Hope it's a shocker for him.
    • Hopefully spends most of the game chasing our mids.
    • For me he is just about the best player in the game. An absolute monster in the contest and nearly impossible to stop.
    • Love the match up in this game.. the two current "kings" of the mids in oliver and tracc vs imo the fastest rising stars of the mids in the game in errol and chad
    • IMO he would be the best player in the game, and the only challenger would be his own teammate in Gawn. I suppose over the next 4-6 weeks we'll now find out how much one has to do with the other.

    Not often Oliver gets praise from opp fans.  Good to see some Sydney fans honour him for his 150th.

    But now that I've given them credit, i hope he burns their midfield, has his best game ever and leads us to victory.  Couldn't be a better way to celebrate his 150th than against a team that has the wood over us.

    Thank you LH - my favourite thread :)

    4 cheats = 4 umpires.  Clearly a one-sided view of the umpiring. 

    Even Longmire commented in his post game press conf that we got 2 goals from 50m and 3 from free kicks. Paraphrasing:  "Handed them 5 goals on a platter".  I thought poor form on his part even to mention that and also to not acknowledge how many they got and some of theirs were very dubious!

    Sour grapes!

    Silly Longmire, his players kept throwing the ball when under pressure and rarely the umps called those incorrect disposals.

    Not to mention the constant appeals to the umpires that weren't called dissent

    People who say umpires don't influence games have NFI. 

    Yep, I thought it was poorly umpired for both teams. 

    Bringing in a fourth umpire has only increased the inconsistencies and paying of free kicks that simply should not be paid.

    I now wait until i have watched the replay, until I make comment about the umpiring, in the cold reality of the next day, I find the umps are usually right, and I was wrong making me feel like a bit of a goose,1 when you are at the ground it's easy to get caught up in the passion of the crowd.

    The throwing the ball is a league wide problem for a while now.

    It seems to me afl house is happy to let it slide as it keeps the play moving.

    Watch any game and players will throw the ball in close to clear congestion. Rarely does it get called.

    The several 50's they gave away were very poor discipline, which is Richmond like, not Sydney like.

    • Broke our back in the last. 11 goals is insane, pretty much only them and Collingwood could do that much damage in a last quarter.

    What is this person on about given that we only kicked seven in the last quarter. Must have started drinking heavily midway through.

    There were 11 scoring shots (7.4), that's all I can think of.

    From the point where they got to within 6 pts late in the 3rd we piled on 11 goals - I assume that's what they're referring to.

    Its a brutal business Jumbo, i don't think Horse, Papley and co were caring to much for us last year after beating us in a qualifying final and the carry on that followed.

    I could carry on further but you get the jist.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
