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

    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

    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: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
