I'm still a little sceptical about all the claims of matches being fixed or being unduly influenced by umpires or that there is a narrative/agenda as to who plays in the Grand Final.

BUT

The AFL should surely be concerned that so many footy fans are saying it or thinking it.

    Collingwood are still in this game on pure 'luck'.

    When you’re the premiers but also seem to bring out the yips in every single team you play… last year they were clearly the 1st ranked team for opponents inaccuracy in front of goal. I’m hoping that eventually turns and they start losing more games that they deserve to.

    Yes saw that. The ball should have been called dead immediately and then a ball up. But no, it’s play on. Umpires not having a great night.

    Must've confused the hell out of Maynard to see something change direction in mid-flight.

    It's probably the same as when the ball hits an umpire, it's play on.

    What's the rule at the ice rink when the ball hits the roof? Seem to recall it is a free against?

    I’d love to see a graph of momentum shifts in games tracked to show forward half free kicks. 

    Nobody wants to talk about it but forward half frees are worth their weight in gold, and decide far too many games.

    This is so spot on.

    Channel 7 just clarified the situation. If the umpire sees the ball hit the camera or cables it should be a ball up. If they don’t see it, it’s play on of course. So in this case it seems all 4 umpires didn’t see it!

    No way they didn't see it. Oh that's right, it was to Collingwood's advantage that the kick into Sydney's fwd 50 was arrested. That makes sense now.

    Just trimming off a little to add to the 50m.

    Pendles doing the elbowlift in the tackle to draw the high free......

    Fingers crossed the open-goal-run-out-the-back is the psychological breaking point for this game and Sydney can get the six or seven goal margin their performance deserves.

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
