    Agree!

    it is pretty impressive how the umpiring has gotten worse with an extra ump

    My biggest gripe is that you have an umpire standing 1m from a contest calling play on, and then some jerk from 150m away interjects and calls for a free. 
    Where did you come from sir and why do you have laser beams for eyes?

    Two weeks in a row the Suns have helped us. 

    I always said they were an important part of the competition and I have no desire to shut them down and steal all their best players

    Watched the last quarter of GC and Crows and the umpiring was out of this world.

    That good hey? 😂

    The standard of umpiring is declining at the same rate as the cost of living is increasing.

    Speaking of umpiring, I fear they've gone too far with the ducking interpretation. Some players are having their heads nearly taken off without dropping their heads and it's being largely ignored.

    And you have to admit the pies are doing it very, very well right now. Don’t necessarily like the club but really admire that team they have playing right now.

    I was actually at the game, Pies were great in first qrt ..Eagles were one man on bench from first qrt & then inevitably were run over in the last ..they were done. Pies looked very average in a good half of a game so I just wonder if they’re feeling the pinch a bit. But don’t get too carried away by that last qrt.

    Not sure Geelong winning is a good result.

    Geelong is still 2 games and percentage behind us. Better than two teams a game behind us, one with a great run home.

    Yes very fair call, I probably went to early on that first quarter but essentially they are still a very good team.

    The big loser of tonight’s two games is Collingwood.

    They know that Geelong is their roadblock to their premiership.

    Nothing surer than Geelong going on a stupid 10-1 run into finals.

    Only interest today is the loser of gws v rich  can pack up and go play golf for the 2nd half of the season. Caroline Wilson said on ch9 preseason that Richmond would make the 8 and give the flag a shake.  yeah Caro. Even the winner cant really make it with freo and suns improving every round.

    Norff could be worth a tickle against Essendone.  If umpires favoured Gawn like they do with Draper dees wouldnt lose a game.

    How can you not push Bolton out of bounds with 5 seconds to go?

    Talk about footy smarts.

    Regardless of who wins out of GWS and Richmond today, Carlton will finish the round in 14th place.

    If that's not the cellar, it's knocking on the cellar door.

    It says heaps for the depth that we had last year – and I think, probably still do – the Bedford, Baker, Weideman , Hunt are all doing extremely well at other clubs.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
