Why do the umpires call such line ball calls in such crucial moments. Really feels like they are trying the manipulate results in key moments. 
 

One positive is the blue floppers are out of the 8. Sucked in

See many players run as far and not get penalized

    Swans aside the ladder is collapsing.

    We need to keep winning to avoid the body surfing tsunami of 3-11 sides

    PS How the hell is Collingwood above us !!!!

    Ah, I see what you're saying: beaten out by one of their 3 current co-draw-ers (or any new ones in this crazy season!) Those 3 need to make up a bit of percentage but, yes, nice.

    So, that's Brisbane's deficit taken care of anyway...

    Ouch.

    Their fwd line is dysfunctional...

    And that's saying something from Demonland! 

    It’s hard to believe they made finals last year.

    Gee it's really hard to fathom Richmond beat sydney

    I guess it’s a good reminder that as bad as Richmond are and as good as Sydney are at the moment you can’t take any game for granted.

    Well, it’s official: St Kilda is indeed more St Kilda than Freo is

    Let’s see how prickly Ross Lion gets with some negative media spotlight.

    I wonder what is actually going on at St.Kilda, there must be big problems behind closed doors. They have always been close to the Cliff edge, but this time the Supporters are just going to walk away

    Ross Lyon talks alot….

    So not the best of games tonight,  but have chosen to watch Saints v freo game. Just to see Jackson mainly

    The biggest story of the night is that during the post-match interview he used the word “fruition” 🤯

    I assume he meant to say fruiton - a bed made out of fruit, which I assume he sleeps on at night because that's just the kind of thing I'd expect a guy like him to do.

    I watched the post match on Kayo, who presumably take the Foxtel coverage.

    In the Brisbane rooms ... Darcy, Bolton (Jude) and Jones (Nathan).

    Does it really take 3 of them to conduct interviews? Darcy kept looking at the camera while the other 2 were asking questions, mainly Jonesy. It looked ridiculous.

    At this point it's not luck

    Collingwood’s last forward entry ( for the winning goal) was a result of  an Adelaide quick kick bouncing back 15 metres off the back of the head of a player , straight into the hands of a Collingwood player not involved in the play.

    I mean that is lucky. But winning 11/12 close games is more than luck

    There's belief And there's the leading team thinking oh no they're going to run us down like they do every week to the other teams

    Self fulfilling a lot of the time And clearly the more they do it the more confident they are

    Statistically a bit better, but what about the job he’s been doing on the dangerous opposition?

    Held Walsh to 20 instead of 30-35. Did outstanding jobs on Clark from Freo and Whitfield from GWS.

    He’s been a significantly improved player from his MFC days, particularly from a consistency point of view.

    A shame that Goodwin doesn't tag. Would have been handy on cripps or Walsh

    On 28 April David King said the flag race was down to three: Geelong, GWS, Carlton. That was at the end of Round 7.

    Since then those sides are a combined 1-8, with the sole win being Carlton over us by 1 point. 

    This is your regular reminder that David King is, contrary to what SEN calls him, not “the best analyst in football”.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
