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??? 😭

    • 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.
