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. 


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.

 

Carlton are dog [censored].

48 free kicks. Forty eight. 
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.

Yes, I can see the similarity...

 


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

Gonna be some heat on the Blues this week.

And should be heat on the umpires as well

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: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
