That last couple of minutes! I’m spent just from watching it 😅

So the umps want to decide every game this weekend?

100m off the ball. ludicrous free

GC robbed


Great result for us but under Lyons coaching is footy any better of?

 

maybe the umps can tell us who will win the remaining games 

Meanwhile Hardwick has done a headgasket and set up 4 voodoo umpire dolls which he is now sticking pins into

That disgraceful free kick changed the game. Unbelievable 

I hadn't watched the game, but went to Kayo when I read this.  Grappling each other which happens every day.  In fact King almost put Andrew down before the free was paid.

I can’t believe I am watching Fox at the moment and they haven’t talked about that umpiring decision yet. 
 

I think I need to step back from watching so much AFL, I am finding myself getting frustrated with the umpiring in neutral games. The standard and inconsistency since the AFL went to four umpires has diminished dramatically in my view.

100%. 

If they think we want to spend a Sat night watching that tripe they have another thing coming.

I can forgive a dodgy call in the contest but literally deciding a game 100m off the ball is unforgivable 

it needs to be blatant. The officiating makes this game really hard to enjoy

Seems there wasnt a dangerous tackle available.

I hate looking to umpires in close games but that is not on. Over influence and taking away from the participants

Same goes for dodgy frees paid in the goal square. 


Was that the three most meh nail-biters ever played on the one day? 😁

I should ask Swamp Man or whatever his name is. 😅

Then I’ll ask him has there been another case of two sets of twins playing against each other in the same round. This is actually a genuine question. 

 

Three games decided by around one kick.

Two of them by very questionable umpire decisions.

As an aside.. the score review... we can clearly see player X touched the ball...when no one can. Why not say no clear evidence to over rule goal umpires call

Best results for the Dees in the event we win (operative word being event):

Richmond to beat Adelaide

Brisbane to beat Dogs

Hawthorn to beat GWS

North to beat West Coast

St Kilda to beat GC

Sydney to beat Geelong.

Carlton to beat Essendon

 

Incidentally that multi is paying $349 - 1

5/5 so far. (Unfortunately didn’t put money on it so kinda happy if one of tomorrow results doesn’t salute)

Literally every result has gone our way so far, although North beating WC doesn’t make a lick of difference to us.

Geelong losing tomorrow would be nice.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
