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.

And it was the great Scott Boland who took the final catch.

Only 31 tackles so far by Carlton. 

Absolute joke of an effort.

Ok everyone, go to bed. Big day tomorrow.

48 free kicks. Forty eight. 
What a slop AFL is becoming 

[Lord Travis 10,749]

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.

Umpires ruined this game. Totally favouring essendon.

[layzie 33,871]

This has been a shocking display of AFL footy

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! 

[Lord Travis 10,749]

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.

[layzie 33,871]

Gonna be some heat on the Blues this week.

[dees189227 12,394]

If only Carlton could kick straight

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.

always thought andy mcgrath looks like fred flintstone

[ANG13 2,063]

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