I really don’t like the stand rule or the insufficient intent one.

    Bailey went over the mark by 2 steps late. Ump was directly side on, making it really obvious 

    Pretty sure it wasn't a "stand" infringement

    Still feels stupid that Carlton played GC at the MCG and this game is at Marvel.

    Really poor defensive game. Both teams running freely between the two 50 metre lines. It looks even, but at least one of them need to tighten the crews a bit. Not finals standard footy at all.

    This game couldn’t be more different to our game last week versus Carlton.

    No argument it's stupid

    Collingwood tried to swap with game a couple of weeks back, in order to Max crowd at G with top 2 clash

    I'd prefer to not play home games in NT...

    We definitely want to be playing Pies I reckon.

    If Moore isn’t back in top shape in finals they are cooked. They are already a poor defensive side. Add to that their risky ball movement and they just cannot defend turnovers.

    Collingwood's backline is not the same without Moore, would prefer to play them as well.

    I know we need Brisbane to lose, but gee it’s a good night watching Collingwood implode 

    maybe famous last words…

    Pies might have a Melbourne 2022 feel about them.. limping into finals, might be straight sets… can only hope

    +1

    Just enforce the 50 meter when opponents hold on to or scrag the man with the free / mark.

    IF they insist on retaining it then they need to make the kicker line up over the mark, yes even when deep in defence: otherwise it is a complete farce.

    And the insufficient attempt requires an already confused umpire (far too many 'interpretative' rules) to read the kicker's mind.  Just keep "deliberate"

    BT is an embarrassment. Always gets the most animated over fisticuffs, and clearly you can add a topless player to the list. 🙄

    I know it’s better for us if Collingwood  win……but I JUST CAN’T barrack for the bestards .

     I know I should move on, but it’s the ‘58 Grand Final which has given me permanent scars.

    I want a Coll.win  by a point, with multiple injuries to both sides. I’m ashamed of that sentiment, but I have to be honest.

    Commentary talking about great defences - that must be why there have been 13 14 goals kicked by now. 🤫

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      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?
