Umpire #22 is Williamson and he is deadset shocker. Would have to be one of the worst umpires going around. Loves to influence games by putting his stamp on them. Must’ve been told he’d never make it as a player, so now gets his vengeance as an ump.

    Daicos, Pendles and Sidebottom get Pies home again.

    Dogs had too many out, headed by Bont.

    Indeed. And I think the obvious dodgy free kicks to the dogs in the first quarter got the ferals extra fired and it worked against the dogs 

    The umpires need to be stronger. I know it is an extremely tough gig but they lose credibility on a night like tonight

    So Saturday Football....

    Bye round of course as it's round 2 (thanks Opening round you piece of [censored])

    Aside from the early game that few will be able to watch the matches are horrible.  Sunday arvo with our game and Freo/Sydney should be good

    33-14. Joke.

    Now watch as Crisp escapes with no more than a fine for his dangerous tackle. Christian will be concocting the narrative as I type. Can’t have him rubbed out five games short of Jim’s 245…

    🤢🤮 I’d be arranging an arson attack… no, seriously, I would… there’s no amount of cleaning, nor renovation, could ever return your property to its former glory. Take the insurance and run.

    Final score tonight 33 frees to Pies to 14 Dogs.

    When you lose by a goal that is mammoth.

    Votes for Cwood players....surely the umps get a few.

    Beveridge just made mention that his team didn't have enough forward 50 entries (43) It always felt like the Pies had their measure (albeit narrowly) 

    I was shocked at the one-sided adjudication though

    More so the frees that the Bulldogs didn't get.  Daicos walked the ball out and another Bulldog has his legs taken out.  Both blatant and not paid.  And both late in the game

    Michael Christian should not be reviewing this one. Can we get a petition going?

    The Crisp tackle doesn’t deserve a suspension. Free kick fair enough imo 

    Impact mostly on the shoulder. he did not slam or sling him

    You may be right. I find it impossible to judge these days but the half-time show compared it to a Harley Reid tackle from last season that brought a two-game ban. They concluded that he (Crisp) may get one because of a lower impact. His head did hit the ground, albeit with little force.

    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.

    Bit harsh on the VFL. Send them to Ashburton to umpire the tow truck drivers vs. the Medellin game and see how they go.

    On June 16th last year my landlord put my rent up by the maximum allowed. On June 17th this year - the very first day possible - he’s raising it again, and again by the maximum allowed. I don’t barrack for Collingwood so what’s his excuse??? 😭

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
