Boundary umpire is the dill.

Nobody blew a whistle, why did he just stand there allowing the guy to rag doll him around whilst making no attempt to get rid of it

A very lacklustre half of footy from us.

August 20, 20232 yr

The boundary umpire was right there. Viney was a metre out.

Arm wrestle with 16th place. Words you love to hear.

Can we PLEASE take control of this after half time and bury these [censored]? They inflicted so much pain on us over the years. It’s not yet time, not even close, that they can return to that.

They’re 16th, missing their best mid. No excuses.

Boundary and goal umpires are having a laugh this weekend.

Absolutely disgraceful display. Unaccountable green [censored].

August 20, 20232 yr

Could barely have played worse, similar to Carlton yesterday.

Such sloppy skills, spending it before we've earned it and dropping easy handballs (Petracca, Laurie, Salem).
It's an attitude thing - the boys are not intense enough which is just bizarre given this win is going to lock in top 4 and it's Gawn and ANB's milestone games.

So glad we have 90 umpires now. They’re all doing such a stellar job 🙄

August 20, 20232 yr

This will go down to the wire and we’ll lose……tell me you can’t feel it

Kozzie and Chandler need to get busy in the forward line. Just be front and centre at the fall of the ball.

Absolutely and I won’t mention that boundary umpire. Every time we get tackled, it’s holding the ball and we can’t get one as usual.

August 20, 20232 yr

Umpires should get their OPSM sponsorship back

Kozzie unsighted again.

Unfortunately it’s all too common now in big games.

August 20, 20232 yr

60 minutes to show some top 8 level competence otherwise top 4 is slipping away from us. Underwhelming but not unsurprising.

August 20, 20232 yr

Hey all, eyes off the umpires for a second and more onto our crud display. Can't hit the backside of a barn with our disposal right now.

August 20, 20232 yr

Trac and Oliver need to explode in the second half. Largely unsighted so far

Arm wrestle with a team who beat the premiership favourites two weeks ago.

I'm complaining about both things 😪

August 20, 20232 yr

Anyone heard bevos presser yet? Has he blown a gasket?

August 20, 20232 yr

Hawthorn much cleaner, Petracca, Pickett and Oliver really need to lift. Would be worth getting Schache on as our forward line is too small

Why.. we have no tall forwards to bring the ball to ground

Other than the opportune goal out the back I'm not sure I've seen Smith

We need the small forwards to lead to space

It’s par for the course, Jaded. None of us have the vaguest idea what they’ll do at any time. It’s a complete mess.
Meanwhile, we’re playing very poorly.

What the fugg is going on with the umpiring fraternity?

They have completely lost the plot!

He is breaking Jack Dyers rule no.1 don't get where the ball ain't. Ever since he was suspended he has been poor in 90% of games.

August 20, 20232 yr

Is Kossie playing? Is he the sub????

PREVIEW: Collingwood
PREVIEW: Collingwood

Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

REPORT: Hawthorn
REPORT: Hawthorn

The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.
