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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
