Has the AFL made any comment about the state of the ground?

It will be “AFL grounds have never been better.”

    Disgraceful tunnelling tackle not paid that quarter 

    Umpire was right there😡

    Umpire 26 looked straight at it side on from nearby and just waived play on.

    Hipwood should be suspended for that as Blakey could have broken his neck, let alone the potential to be concussed.

    I’m are they cone out and say it was an incorrect decision after the game.  But it was so obvious to everyone watching,

    Just a blatant lack of understanding of the situation. Bump, yes, but not when you should be contesting the ball.  
    Should be the same as contesting a ground ball - a duty of care for the player in a vulnerable position.
    Could also apply to Gulden’s tunnel on Berry, but at least he pretended to go for the ball.

    And it was a mark as well

    Not even remotely true. 

    If we lose we’ll be 2 points out of the 8, and still within one game of 5th (possibly 4th too, if Brisbane lose).

    Our draw gets easier from here, not harder, with the last three (Port, GC, Coll) easier than the next three (Fremantle, GWS, Dogs).

    Beg to differ

    3-3 won't cut it

    Dogs have a superior percentage and three teams now in the eight have the benefit of a drawn game

    Ridiculous 50 to the blues to decide the game

    Umpiring late in games that significantly impact results will be the reason people stop going to the footy.

     

    Unless they support Carlton. Whole season is a joke. As corrupt a competition in all sport. Well sports entertainment.

    This season is so out of whack. Teams are getting pumped 1 week then playing like contenders the next.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
