    Can't the bloody goal umpire's call be believed.   Another waste of time - obvious touched into behind post.

    Should we call them a six pointer?
     

    Just like the Yanks, call a basketball three-pointer?

    To be fair, I think they call goal more than they do major.

    Yeah wouldn't be surprised if it was popular around then.

    Well obviously the power should be a further 3 goals ahead.

    The pies know they can come back. This margin won't bother them.

    Just hope they don't.

    If Pies lose tonight they’ve only lost 3 games for the season, they just happen to be against 2nd, 3rd and 4th on the ladder. But they will still occupy top spot and many will say they are still the best team and Nick Daicos is the best player in the competition.

    It’s often referred to in match reports as a major, as in Petracca booted 10 majors in the 2023 Grand Final.

    Sounds like a dodgy Wikipedia article but I like it.

    Dunno why the Port supporters are chanting Mel-Bourne.
    But I like it.

    • 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.
