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.

    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.

    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.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
