What bloody advantage. Call it back you dill.

100% - set shot on offer.....utter bs

 
 

Once again a late call by the ump means we play on and take the “advantage” which turns out to be the opposite of to advantage. FFS I hate that rule

First qtr thoughts. 
Trac looks off.

Fritta doesn’t look like he has missed. 
we have been sloppy but got better as the qtr went on.

Going by 1st qtr no idea still why Turner replaced Thommo.

Melksham and Kozzie look lively. 


I want to see how many minutes Trac has spent on ball this quarter. My guess is less than 5

They look in great nick.

Sparrow, tracc and riv all look in the best shape I've seen them.

This has the stench of the AFL doing everything they can to get a final played in Sydney.

Yep, there's already a load of smoke beaming up from AFL House.

Petracca continuing on his poor form from last week.

He's checked out since Oliver is back, very worrying

Home or away they’re completely incapable of understanding either HTB or prior opportunity 

Or any other basic AFL rules

Why not call it back when it’s obvious there was no advantage. Should be in the rule book

Boweys form not great heading into finals 

Surely Hibberd comes in for Bowey & Hunter’s possessions are ineffective & his tackles are like powder puffs

It's a joke. Such an infuriating rule. E

Often either turns out not to he an advantage, or in the event every just stops, an unfair disadvantage to the team the free has been paid against.

 

I wonder when a side will man up after a point against sides, shut it down instead of letting it out.  If you look down the ground after a swans point every player is up around the midfield area, pull players back have less congestion and allow players to run onto it or over the back.

  • 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?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    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?
