    I honestly cannot understand how that Norf mark wasn't paid 50m in the last 2 mins. Two guys three steps over the mark. Clear as day. The sort of vision the umpires boss would use to explain giving a 50. Clarko will go bizerk at the AFL over the umpires.

    It's too easy to say that Norf only have themselves to blame, but had the correct decision been paid, we would be congratulating them on a victory well deserved. The difference was a wrong decision by an umpire.

    How many times have we said this already this year.

    Yeah, why aren't we talking about how "Collingwood shouldn't have put themselves in a position where only umpiring errors could win them the game"?

    The absolute worse part of this is that all four Umpires Froze under Collingwood’s Steely Stare. They didn’t blow the whistle to acknowledge the Mark????

    If a media person wants to improve his popularity rating, it doesn't pay to be critical of  Collingwood or Carlton.

    There was ENORMOUS pressure on the umpires from the all-Collingwood crowd in that noisy stadium.

    They succumbed weakly.

    @dazzledavey36 terrible news about Brayden George. 

    Not good at all mate.

    Started the year with a bang in the VFL then had some more injury interruptions and then unfortunately this now.

    Footy is a cruel game and unfortunately some just can't seem to get a clean break.

    He'd be absolutely because I know how incredibly hard he worked in his rehab especially during the off season as well.

    Giants in the PF and Lions in the GF were hard done by as well. Guess who their opponent was?

    Maybe its the influence of the ferral pies crowd, but it's definitely a pattern

    I've watched every game at Casey.

    He's no softer than Lobb but keep hanging your hat on Lobb as the saviour.

    You're wrongly confusing my comment that we already have back ups in JVR & Fullo with saying Fullo is better than Lobb.

    Personally i don't think either of those two (JVR or Fullo) are the solution and you've obviously not read anything i've written on the topic.  Otherwise you'd know that.

    As per previous posts, i don't think either of them are the solution but we certainly don't need a third non-solution in Lobb.

    But feel free to carry on with your 'we must get Lobb' as back up and a forward target campaign.

    Uhh ...you call him whatever you like.  I'm sticking with Fullo... less typing involved!

    Not sure how you arrived at that as meaning that i'm suggesting he's a proven player or whatever.  Strange comment.

    Been watching Lobb of late?

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
