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. 

That was the strangest kick. Almost a pass (to nobody), but in the end a weak, wasted opportunity from a guy who had a really bad game by foot.

Seriously if this was May touching this you'd all be lauding what a herculean effort it was.

What about the non free to JVR for a clear trip/ taking the legs out?

Do we need a review of that?

I am so angry I have just emailed the AFL to tell them how incompetent their umpires are and how they are ruining our once great game. It will probably end up in the trash file but it made me feel better to tell them exactly what I thought.


The more I look at the goal line kick it clearly wasn’t touched.

His fingers move but the ball is on the other side of them so their movement has nothing to do with the ball.

I mean the entire internet is saying it wasn’t touched. Including every opposition fan that doesn’t barrack for Carlton so 🤷‍♀️

Also how is JVR getting his legs taken out for no free. 

Disgraceful night for the AFL tonight allround, Matildas winning and its 3rd world country Arc Go pro video technology.

Can't blame the ump. We gave up the first 3 goals in that final quarter.

We had our chances in the final moments. Why wouldn't you kick to Grundy instead of handballing it. Salem would usually nail that. He couldn't even get the distance. 

The first quarter was horrible.

No we were shocking!

Our ball handling lost that game for us and that is why I want to get more skilled young talent on the list.

How many times did we fumble, handball to them and kick to them.

Our disposal skill is just not good enough.

The better team on the night won, but I'm not convinced that Petracca's kick was touched.

So many of our players just cruise along at about 70% - Salem, Hunter, Langdon and Grundy to name four. Salem was especially poor. 

I'm not convinced Hibberd was a good sub choice. We need impact in the middle, not a defender getting two nothing touches. I'm also worried about Bowey - he is clearly the weakest link in our defence. 

Ultimately we lost because we gave up soft goals at the start of the third and fourth quarters. We can't afford to do that in the finals. 

Maybe Salem can be the sub next week. Send a message. 

Felt the forward line went back to the old way tonight back to pack marks instead of separating got sucked up the ground to much. 

Let’s be real, the goal review technology just isn’t fit for purpose with touched-ball decisions.

It’s got a real grassy knoll feel to it most of the time.

Rubbish. His hand was certainly moving, but it more definitely wasn’t because of the ball.

Thin wam gruel was my only meal…

I'm not going to lie... I actually though you were dead..

Talking to a Carlton mate of mine and he's stirring me up (used my Maximus Max meme against me on FB too), he didn't reckon it was touched.

The umpire for mine guessed, because they didn't want to make a call like that and then put it to the review.

Wrong, but I get it.

Happens every game, just sucks that it was wot wud have one it.

Ahh well, should have kicked more goals.

The Carlton defender certainly didn’t seem to plead his case. 
 

Absolutely! He would have going off his trolley if he'd touched that

His fingers move, only problem is the ball is on his palm side, not the finger side.

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.
 

Macca our last hope.

No one in that forward line leads at the carrier.  They all run away or stay too deep with the exception of Smith but we started him as a defender lol.

Why are we STILL playing midgets at CHF!!???  What possible advantage does that give us.  It's been a massive fail all season but we still persist with it.  DUMB DUMB DUMB

As for the touched review.  Touched or not..... where was the side on shot that would've clearly shown whether it was touched !??  Apparently we're only allowed to view all the other inconclusive ones.

Some players aren't playing anywhere near the top of their game atm....

Namely Sparrow, ANB, Jordan & Salem.  Too many clangers and or fend offs when a quick dump kick forward in greasy conditions is the better option.  Salem could've redeemed himself with the gimme at the end but alas.

Our smalls & mediums didn't stand up either.

Kozzy needed some time in the middle later in the game.  We looked slow as a wet week at ground level with the likes of Jordon, Sparrow, Clarry, Viney & Gus in there and only one of them can be hidden in the sweeper role.

JVR disappointing tonight.  Needed to kick at least one of the relatively simple shots...no review needed!

I've already expressed my views re Grundy as a forward and in general over many months.  Nothing's changed after tonight.   Add's nothing to this team and robs us of either another genuine forward who can find the sticks or a classy outside mid runner/link up player around the stoppages.

The fact in our game we don’t have technology to produce a conclusive decision every time is a disgrace. All the Carlton defenders acted like it wasn’t touched too.

Just a disgraceful call which cost us the game. 

Carlton scum acting like they’ve won the flag, bunch of degenerates. Genuine [censored] fan base.

Look at the side view. His hand was nowhere near it, so what fingers moving are you talking about? 

Marchbank claimed immediately he had touched it. 

Seriously, the footage which was shown had his finger clearly bent as the ball skimmed passed.

Some of you seriously need glasses.

It's not why we lost t all. We had other opportunities to win the game.

[censored] I hate Carlton. 

The bunch of meth heads around me could barely string a sentence together.

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

Agree, and the first part of the third. Baggers jumped us twice. I don't know if it's a lapse of concentration but it's what lost the game.

How funny is that footage, what a bunch of amateurs those people running the Arc are.

  • 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.

    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?
