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

    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??? 😭

    • 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.

    • 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.
