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

    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...

    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.

    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.

    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: 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.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
