8/10 but a lot more games this round, so let's wait and see

they had the most senior umpires in place, and for the most part they were a little bit hotter on holding the ball, but it wasn't a huge difference

 

Let's see what umpire 22 brings to the table.

Incompetence. He brings incompetence.

I personally thought it was called very well and opened the game up. Less ball ups and players cramming around the ball. Worked well and ironically probably did the thing the AFL wanted by not calling it: created a more free flowing game and created space

 

What a fail that was.  So many caught read hot and in clear view with 4 umpires yet not paid or overruled, including the one below and Tracc's yesterday that would have resulted in a hot at goal.

A few improvements like blowing the whistle earlier when players were wrapped up (at times)

Pay a few HTBs here and there and ignore the rest!  The AFL and its umpiring continue on continuing on with their trashing of the game ...

You'd think when a directive is given that it at least brings a sugar hit of consistency for a brief moment, Thurs and Fri showed this but the rest of the weekend was all over the place.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

  • GAMEDAY: Sydney

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
