Expected scores currently is 72.5 to 61.6.  Interesting.

Bombers have played 1.5 decent quarters and just didn’t miss the goals. Blues have outplayed them for longer but are just a mess forward half.

    Only 31 tackles so far by Carlton. 

    Absolute joke of an effort.

    Blues just can’t kick straight. Lack of scoreboard pressure and wasting their opportunities meant Bombers eventually got passed them and kicked away. Blues are better than 14th on the ladder suggests. They’re completely average, but if the could kick straighter for goal they’d be 8-12th on the ladder instead.

    What a slop AFL is becoming 

    It truly is becoming a blight. Especially when it is so lob sided and inconsistent. 

    I really hope it doesn’t feature tomorrow - but you know it will.

    Make that 50. 50 frees in a single game. 
    That’s 30 too many.

    Yes I am about ready to metaphorically of course, shove a whistle down an umpires throat! It’s ridiculous, they paying just about any contact as a free!

    Horrendous umpiring and atrocious skill level tonight. There’s been some seriously poor games recently. This may be the worst year of footy I can remember actually in terms of game quality. Such poor skill level and the umpiring gets worse by the week.

    Said after round 4 it was the best I could remember the game quality. Now I’d be lucky to watch 3 games a week. Absolutely horrible!

    A lot of teams are hanging for the bye. Lots of tired sloppy skills this weekend.

    The booing is justified, that club is taking the [censored] and selling to their members as lemonade. Disgrace

    The umpires have lost their way..it's sad to see and making it difficult to watch a game without throwing something at the TV...and that's neutral games.

    A good idea would be to go back to the rule book.

    In the 2 games I've watched so far, in the back has become a chook raffle.

    It used to be simple...hands in the back is hands in the back.

    Other than AFL employees is there anyone who thinks the four umpires per game has improved the standard?

    • 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.
