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.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • 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?
