Is it me or the umps torching Port? 

I think you are right. I can’t work out what rule a number of these so called frees are awarded for.

    Apart from Collingwood (whom they lost to), St Kilda have had a hell of an easy run so far this season. Not the least bit surprised that they’re going to lose this one.

    Both of these teams look average. Very little composure to be found on either side this last quarter. 
     

    Saints supporters aren’t letting their unfamiliarity with the rules get in the way of their passion.

    The booing of Horne-Francis is seriously dumb.

    We booed Tom Scully for years, after at least serving out his initial contract. JHF did something that undermines the integrity of the draft basically. Imagine if every #1 did what he did.

    I only watched the last quarter, but At Kilda lacked a lot of composure, they didn't look like a quality side to me.

    We might have booked Scully but the rest of the comp didn't. It's bloody stupid unless you're north supporters.

    Jeremy Finlayson looks like such an ammo-level footballer but is an absolute quality forward/ruck.

    Really happy for him that he got the trade he needed and is playing good football. Credit to him for being able to stay focused on the game. 

    Both Finlayson and Cameron as I recall were so disappointing in the GF loss to Richmond 2019.

    Both have done so. much better when playing for a club who knows footy and play with passion.

    GW$ is such a shameful waste of talent.

    Did any other teams boo Scully in ‘solidarity’ with us..?

    That’s the weird part.

    I reckon Adelaide are a chance to knock off the Pies and if we put Norf to the sword we should take our rightful seat on the throne. 

    Would love to be 1st and 2nd going into the Kings Birthday weekend.

    That was Melbourne supporters - what’s it got to do with St Kilda that North have been poorly managed for 10 years, so a kid left?

    Do we expect Brisbane supporters to boo Jackson because he left for Freo? It’s weird.

    That Grand Final was really the boulevard of broken dreams for a lot of those Giants players

    You said the answer, “ ignorance” by the cretins booing a very good young footballer.

    Haven’t heard the Port fans booing Howard, their former player, or Steele the Saints Captain and ex Giant or Butler, or Wood, or Hill etc.

    I don't condone the booing but slightly different circumstances to a regular trade.

    Horne-Francis essentially Tom Scullied North while they were on their knees and only saw out half of his rookie contract. Fair spit in the face of North fans who should rightfully be [censored] (I'm aware there are probable issues at North that contributed to him leaving).

    Why every other teams fans has joined the booing bandwagon is somewhat perplexing but probably relates to group-think/pack mentality.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
