Reckon the around the ground umpiring has been reasonable so far, but they have no clue when it comes to ruck contests. Grundy getting scragged hard in every contest, gets donuts, so does similar back and the whistle goes!

Yes Grundy being manhandled in the ball ups, before the ball is even bounced and for once decides to put an arm out to keep some distance to contest the ball and gets pinged for a “straight arm”  by the umpire. What are you supposed to do when you get no protection from the umps? And add in Petracca who is being obviously held at stoppages by his tagger, often in front of the umpire but gets nothing. Tracc is getting frustrated for obvious reasons.

    The scragging of our players at stoppages is incredible.

    ANBs kick into the f50 with a minute to go sums up our forward entries.

    We may win this because their defenders are dropping a lot of those bombs into our forwards. I can't get over why we don't lower our eyes. This has been going on for years now.

    Anyways, it's going to be a knock it forward at all costs game now and I hope we get up. We should take control but geez I'd like to see some forward connection

    Will Rowan get three weeks for careless high contact on Cameron?

    I know this is tongue-in-cheek but what is the difference? Both were contesting the ball. It just goes to show how stupid that rule is.

    We are now very much on top. The wet ground and the poor excuse for an AFL standard oval kept Geeling in it.

    Stop the 3-4 small in close handballs.

    We don't crumb packs well at all. Bruhn, Close and Miers are a cut above our crumbing players.

    Salem, Hibberd, Grundy, Smith and Rivers playing well.

    Please stop kicking it straight to Stewart and Guthrie.

    Before Kosi kicked that goal he was blatantly held in front of the umpire. Maybe we need 5 of them out there.

    Held? he got full on tackled without the ball

    Rohan should be looking at weeks for that hit on Cameron. Careless / High /  Severe Impact  = 3 matches.

    Tom Stewart dog act and Ralphy trying to talk it down to a fine.

    Dunstall  more honest said he saw Viney injured, moved over and pushed him over onto the sore shoulder side.

    Is that not foreseeable to cause injury.

    Watch the media argue against a suspension.

    Grundy comfortably playing much better than Gawn. You’d almost consider subbing him off if he does nothing in the 3rd and put Spargo on.

    Don't forget Grundy was getting hit in the head while the free kick was paid against him too. Yay

    We improved that quarter and upped the pressure. I expect us to step up a bit more this next quarter. 

    We will have to if we are to overcome the rubbish umpire's decisions.

    This quarter is ours.

    True but they dominated us first quarter for little result. It's a cold, wet night at a [censored] of a ground. It's a scrappy game, there will be little highlights tonight just a game to get the job done hopefully.

    I hate the scragging, you want to free the game up stop the scragging all over the ground. Trac was well within his rights to have a fit.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
