Not sure what you were watching Dazzle.  The review was one of the most amature reviews and we're supposed to be watching the game being played at the home of footy!!

Joke fest!

That I'll agree with, but aren't they all?

If we were relying on a score review to win the game then I don't know what to say.

Fumbliest game I’ve seen Melksham play.

Petty would’ve clunked at least a couple tonight and we may have won with Max in the ruck more.

im not too worried though, hurry up fritter!

I'm proud of the boys.

When they got out to an 18 point lead I thought we were done. But, we fought back well and you can't question their endeavour and effort.

Carlton were better on the night, but it doesn't change my opinion that I still think we're genuine contenders still.

The old bomb it long to a pack has recurred.  Can get away with it sometimes when Petty is there, but more importantly he leads and splits the defence.  Nobody seemed to eat and disperse the defenders tonight.

Gee, at the end do you reckon when they've got 18 players in defensive 50 there's any space to make a lead?

It infuriates me that, IIRC, the ARC never appeared to run the side-on and front-on angles together at the same time. 

Had they done so they would have realised the ball had passed his hand before that moment when they look like they might be touching. 

Anyway, nothing we can do about it. Need to focus on what is in our control (structure, selection), not what is out of our control.

So was it touched or are we all just being Melb fans?

The ball did not deviate. Nobody touched it. 
The AFL need to get 4K Cameras. It is amateur hour right now 

 

I hope the entire Club is very angry

Can't play open all the time, there are times we need to dump it in. I'm not convinced we can play that game if we need to. Hope to be proven wrong but the loss of Petty could well be the difference.

No you cannot do that all the time but you have to options like we did against the tigers and 3 and 3rd quarters against the roos, kossie and melk/chandler should go no further than the arc no matter what and that is the problem to many players in one half of the ground, blues just had players sit back.

we are a system based team, and I reckon we went away from our system at the start and end of the last Q.

credit to carlton that they made that happen.

We are hard to play against, I reckon teams have to play differently to beat us.

Grundy doesnt play again, 

im more ****ty that Salem doesnt ice that kick than the score review and the JVR non free

Really the video is a sham, grainy footage, no clear angles, for a multi million dollar sport its a joke, and please dont cofuse my statement with my level of disappointment, I would love to have pipped the blues again on the siren. 

If you want to see VAR done properly watch the soccer. AFL is a tight fisted joke

Exactly, they need to use the super slow motion cameras that are used in every other sporting telecast.

Just watched the slow mo in slow mo.  Missed his left hand, missed his right hand, missed his boot....

GOAL

No goal line angle shown to confirm any of that.

Like it or  lump it we was robbed folks

Imagine if that's for the premiership. 

And we call this a professional sport.  Hilarious

We did go away from the system, last 5min was everyone trying to win the game off their own boot. Need to stick to the plans and not panic.

The ball was on the other side of his hand, see my screenshot.

You're actually right. 

Was watching vision just then. I only saw the initial vision which showed the vision coming behind Marchbank. That's where it looked like his finger deviate.

I just saw your screenshot angle in full version and he didn't even tough it and there's clearly a gap. Massive [censored] up there, but again, doesn't change my opinion that it was that one instance why we lost the game.

Rightio, I'll put my hand up and own this one. Apologies to everyone else.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club. Date of Birth:  22 July 1997 Height:  189cm Games MFC 2024:  21 Career Total: 183 Goals MFC 2024: 3 Career Total: 54 Brownlow Medal Votes: 5

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury. Date of Birth: 4 J

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    2024 Player Reviews: #35 Harry Petty

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0
