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: 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?
