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.

    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”.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
