Wasn't touched

Yes it was lol Can clearly see his fingers moved.


Said it last week. Losing Petty will cost us a flag. We are not going to kick the scores we need against quality opposition without a decent power forward.
 

We had our chances for a mark in that last minute, but ultimately it took a BS call to beat us.

 ROBBED.

Looking forward to burying those mugs in the finals. 

Hell of a game.

Carlton can win the flag.

Score review sucks.

We looked 100 times better once Jordon was off, Hibberd went back and Smith forward similar to what the smart ones here (me) proposed all week because the overall balance was so much better.

Grundy isn’t a forward but he’s an excellent ruck and stemmed the centre clearance bleeding in the last quarter which ultimately lost us the game.

We had top two within our grasp. 

I still maintain Carlton aren’t that good but they won ugly and credit to them. 
 

Love you as ever Dees but you let that one slip.    Can't lose another one.  Lets just go for 5 straight.

Really looking forward to see If Tommy McDonald can get into some form - need an experienced tall body up forward.

Same goes for Frittata.

Calm down. We didn’t play well and almost stole it. Long way to go.

I sat behind the goals. IT WAS NOT TOUCHED 

 

AFL loves to see this pack of wild animals make finals. Good for rating. Disgraceful. 

I have major issues with Salem running into an open goal, unpressured, and not making the distance from about 42 metres. I just don't get it. Furious with that.

Great game of footy, but we were beaten at our own game and looked slow around the contest, especially at stoppages.

Insufficient evidence.   But we didn't lose it in the last minute.  We lost it the first 2 minutes of the last qtr. Gutsy loss


On paper, having Grundy in our best 22 is a dream.

In reality, it’s just not a thing.

Pretty poor last few minutes, we’re supposed to have plans for situations like that except the plan seemed to be bomb it to a pack of 20 players, have a couple of hail mary shots from 50 (ok Salem’s wasn’t that far and he should’ve kicked it, Trac was robbed but it wasn’t the right option imo) and repeat bombing it. Gotta be better than that. 

Blues were good though, pressure was massive. Clarry not quite up to speed yet

1. Bad umpiring ruins our great game. 
2. Carlton are the best team in the AFL as of this moment. 
Just a shame it was blighted by the umpiring. It’s the AFL’s greatest shame and embarrassment.

No idea what you were looking at Dazzle. One angle showed the ball miss his hand by a fair way.

Come on Dee supporters dont give them baggers any reason to gloat. JUst nod and say see you in September. There will be lots of nashing of teeth over the last touched call. But games are won over 100 minutes not just one. Both teams were good tonight, it was a great  warm up for the finals. 

Move on to the Hawks next week

Lost the battle, there is still a war to be won

Goal umpires should Know

Not I believe.

And if they don't know...they s s t h up.

Robbed.

We tackled and tackled but got one htb for our efforts compared to their six .

SWYL is very Angry 

That was a goal

i HATE everything about Carlton. There is no difference between them and Collingwood 

Never Forget that

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
    This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

    After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
