HTB on Horne Francis ignored

2 Port players running into the protected zone from behind in the one piece of play.... both ignored

The protected zone is no longer it seems accept if you're Rick Lever

Mate you've highlighted the great weakness in umpiring - inconsistency.

Decisions are paid, one week, one quarter, by one one umpire .... then it's not paid.

It drives me ( and I guess most supporters) [censored] nuts.

    It's a sad state of affairs with seemingly no improvement or adjustment on the horizon Uncle.  In fact it appears to be worsening by the week.

    I'm more frustrated than an Amish electrician

    Port’s skills tonight are very average, their team defence is amateurish, and they are still only a goal down.

    Im not sold on St Kilda.

    Have a look at their draw. They will absolutely finish in the Top 4. What happens from there…

    Their draw is very, very soft.

    I watched the replay of our last game this afternoon. The intensity was 400% on this game. It’s a good watch if you’re bored. We played with great heart.

    how was that not head high

    Drew the head high contact by raising the arm I thought. I'd still be ropable if it happened to Spargo or someone of that ilk with the right jumper on.

    Well we finally found something to agree on.

    I call it game manipulation.

    Notice how some teams are given a couple of seconds before play on is called, while others have time to watch an episode of 360. No one calls it for what it is, game manipulation.

    It is something that is not seen in free kick stats, but it affects games.

    not a chance. they had a similar start last year. not enough talent to maintain this. they might scrape into the 8

    I think the standard of football in this game has been very poor. Glad I did not bet on this.

    has a 19yo kid ever had 6 clearances in a Q? 9 in the first half. JHF looks a freak. never seen him play properly before. 12 contested in a half  

    North must be cut

    With the aim of assisting one side, without it being recorded as free kick errors for example. I don’t know really, but why do we get howlers of umpiring performance like us against the Tigers. Even Richo said several times it was umpiring mistakes and guess what, on every occasion we were the victims of the mistake.

    I guess I am just paranoid.

    Excellent mark and goal from Owens. He looks a decent player

    The booing of Horne-Francis is seriously dumb.

    Collingwood supporters started that in round 2.

    The same group of supporters that are happy to boo Oliver on receipt of Neale Daniher medal but take the Moral high ground when their beloved Pendlebury gets booed on Anzac Day or Ginnvian on the SCG scoreboard.

    Worst group of supporters in the AFL.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
