Is David Roden the happiest goal umpire in the AFL ?

You know very well that he chose to leave as a free agent.  We had no say in it. Why you persist in peddling this "let him go" furphy is perplexing.

Just counted 8 Geelong players wearing headbands, and I’ve added that to the list of reasons why I hate them.

This is full-on crazy frenetic footy. 

I think I know which passage you were referring to (around when Horne-Francis got hurt) and agreed, that was some of the most intense close-quarters footy I’ve seen this season.

As mentioned, the idiocy of Cat’s supporters booing Ratugolea. Akin to us booing Harmes or JJ*

I live in Geelong’s territory. They were happy to see the back of him.
 

* happy to be corrected if it happened. I was at both games.

My absolute pet hate is when a crowd boos a former player who was TRADED BY THE CLUB! 

He left and was trying to go the year before as well. They tried to keep him.

Scott’s votes will be interesting- 5 to Z Guthrie and 4 to Holmes. May squeeze a Port player or two in for the minors. Miserable bastard.

That's a great win by Port. Cats fans have no right to complain about umpiring. You let port get out to a 49 point lead.

Cats now dropped 2 in a row 

Did you read Demonland last night?

I hope the media bring up Jeremy Cameron and him not going off. This is really annoying me he got to stay out there. I know Cameron probably said he was fine but it must be protocol to be assessed

According to Jason Horne-Francis, the team “put an emphasis on moving the ball forward”. 

And indeed, this one of the key tenets of t he game. 

Man, had the Cats got up, Willie Rioli would have been the first AFL player to win the inaugural BestWorst Medal.

Rioli kicked 4.3 with 7 tackles 

one brain fade

played an amazing game. Maybe the Cats should have put someone on him. He was unmarked so much, was crazy

Fox Footy going nuts about it. It’ll be a big talking point. 

It’s a bad look.

Ha Geelong have to go to Darwin next week & play.

Gaz is going hard on the Jeremy Cameron head knock. They're covering it big time. Gaz is saying he should have gone off & especially with all the concussion issues at the moment

No look, he was incredible. 
 

But between that whopper of a fade and not taking a shot, it would have been hard to come up with more significant moments when the tide turned.

Agreed. It’s very contagious. Similar to last night how Chin, Petty even Fritta all missed easy set shots.

Reckon he can play

Will be two months till his next, then, I guess...

Great result Geelong loose a close one and their fans have an umpiring decision to whine about

Not only the decision to complain about, but at their home ground as well. ❤️

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
