The Bulldogs battled valiantly but you have to give credit when it is due, it was just relentless pressure from the Umpires that told in the end.

    And if the Collingwood player's head had been hurt, it would be a suspension to the dogs player. That has to stop happening.

    Final score tonight 33 frees to Pies to 14 Dogs.

    When you lose by a goal that is mammoth.

    My hatred of this Pies team is so high right now. Such a bunch of thugs

    Membrey was useless.

    Houston very average aside from a few nice kicks

    Hope they put all their eggs in the one basket as they have zero youth coming through

    Would you interview Number 22 or 2 after the game?

    Tough call, they both umpired so well

    Seems anything goes in the last minute but only if it advantages Collingwood. That was a disgraceful non-call and so obvious. Would love to hear Bevo tee off about the umpires.  He must be seething.  Don’t think I heard the commentators once mention the free kick count.  Probably not allowed to.

    Garry Lyon certainly mentioned it on Fox.

    What a surprise- a little club is screwed over by a bigger club

    I hope Bevo fires a shot. You can have doozies but I can’t remember a game influenced by this much poor umpiring. 
     

    Glad to see social media going off. It will be discussed this week no doubt, but damage is done now.

    That Bailey dale one, dunstall couldn't believe it.

    Sorry but this game was decided by a goal. The free kick difference should not be 19.

    Seriously the standard of umpiring since they added the extra umpire is atrocious. It’s getting harder and harder to watch non Melbourne games.

    Ummmm, that’s a statistically unacceptable difference. So essentially the dogs gave away 140% more free kicks than the pies? 
     

    140%???????

    I turned it off with 10 to go

    i can’t watch those bastards celebrating ever again 

    I don’t bag the Umpires on here too much, but that was a disgrace tonight and it had a huge bearing on the Result

    I was going to ask about that. I got the distinct impression that the frees for Collingwood started relatively even and then just accelerated in Collingwood's favour.

    Missing that blatant attack on the legs, basically killing the game, is just the perfect cherry-[censored] on top.

    At some point the Pies fans also need to be copping fines for not returning the ball to the field. It has clearly become a little side game for them, something to tell their cousin-wife about when they get home.

    I just don't get it. Umpies don't go out to cheat or favour, and despite the angry rhetoric, neither do the AFL direct umpires to "follow an agenda". But how could a game be umpired with such discrepancy? Howling missed free kicks or erroneous ones in a pattern over 3 quarters. I am hoping  the umpires are in the VFL next week (sorry VFL) because they are not up to AFL standard.

    Not a chance.

    Why can't they make this professional?

    The standard just ruins so many games

    Never underestimate the subconscious bias influenced by a 50,000-strong mob baying for your blood.

    Darcy was probably BoG )with Libba and Daicos) but he hit the post twice from 30m with no pressure

    He must be feeling it

    *side note - love how Darcy seems to hate the Pies and sticks it to Maynard.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
