Umpires ruined this game. Totally favouring essendon.

Personally I could give a stuff who won out of these two but my god the umpiring was lopsided and terrible …as it consistently is these days. Bombers def got the fairy take ride with the umps. I just don’t like seeing the umpires have that big of an impact.

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

Imagine the Game Day thread if Demonland was around in 1993. In round 10 of that season Carlton 44 free kicks Melbourne 18.

 

Blues have no recognisable system.

And despite having stars like Curnow, McKay, Weitering, Walsh, Cripps, etc. they have little else.

I haven't seen this game tonight but they are seriously underperforming.

I fear for Vossy, don't know whether the board can hold their nerve...

Well Merritt can’t wear a tag. 

need a massive clean out - ed curnow, kennedy, dow, o'brien, jack martin - none of them are good enough to be part of a decent midfield

mids don't look fit, they don't work defensively, and their disposal leaves a lot to be desired

But does it not resonate clearly of our 2017, 2018 years?

 

keep your powder dry or do you ditch another coach?

 

They are shocking decision makers and an inability to make clean handballs or kicks, will they hold their nerve or react to the outside noise cannot wait.

When I reach out to my Carlton mates after a loss.

2018 we made a PF.

2023 for Carlton is looking more like our 2019.

Yeah but 2017 we just missed the finals. Thanks to the Eagles V crows game and percentages.

If I could pick one ruckman to replace Max when he goes, Draper would do pretty nicely.

Just please ask him to get rid of the mullet.

Poll for tonight.

Who would you rather be - Michael Voss or Marlion Pickett?

I’m too bent to ready now.

I was at Princess Park that game.  Must have been a brown paper bag left by the late John Elliott in the umpires room pre game. Was not one word in the papers the following day about that disgusting display of umpiring either.

Was that the game Greg Williams got 44 touches and failed to get a Brownlow vote?

I’m concerned Essendon will finish top 4 with a weak as water fixture to come home with.

Can someone allay my fears? 

You really are scared of a lot of other teams.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
