I don’t remember being as angry watching the footy as I watched the quarter. So May wasted opportunities and then that missed call 🤬🤬🤬🤬.

HOW THE HELL CAN ALL 4 UMPIRES MISS THAT TRIP!!! ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC.

Agreed

I can’t remember being this furious

You just know we’ll lose by a goal or two and we’ll be thinking of these ump decisions and missed shots

    What's done is done but we should be 4 goals up.

    Umpires what tha fug are you guys watching out there?

    Kozzie legged clear as fuggin day.

    Set shot kicking is killing us.

    The game is completely on our terms and we are failing to punish these social media, cuckold thriving pretenders.

    We have an absolute diamond in Harvey "Langers" Langford. God bless him.🙌

    Oh FFS. This is such a vacuous, superficial take.

    How so, we clearly have 3 tall fwds in fritsch, jvr and Jeffo that can’t hit the side of a barn door, and Jeffo and fritsch have offered 0 in any other regard, what was the thinking in going with the extra tall

    Edited by Garbo


    First half....The Hawks were ordinary but we were worse forward of centre.

    Bar Langers & Koz our kicking at goal would have to go down as some of the worst you could ever wish to see from any team to have ever played the game.

    First game I have seen us play for a while and apart from our kicking at goal we have been good. I really hope we win this.

    Adams for Jeffo = Turner forward

    Massive SC blunder

    After calming down a little…

    it’s great that we seem to be a competitive team again after that first month

    The only way it’s possible to get that Kozzie trip call so wrong is if the multiple umpires in the area weren’t watching the play. That’s just plain incompetence.

    Speaking of incompetence: how’s our goal kicking going? If we lose this match it will 100% be because of all the misses in Q2. I can’t see Hawthorn allowing the dominance we had in that quarter to continue, so we may pay very dearly.

    Isn’t that trip a reportable offence? Should get a week for that.

    Umpires every week are royally screwing us over. Every week .

    Possibly. It's certainly unsportsmanlike. Kos was running into an open goal and that was not a genuine attempt at a tackle.

    ✅️ Kolt on for Jeffo

    ✅️ Swap Turner & JVR

    Lol at the umpiring pathetic.

    We will win this still, flood gates will open

    You may miss the Kozzie trip but what about Sicily throw? Two obvious AF frees.

    Umpiring will define the result of this game - already has to a certain extent. Hawks have had two cheapies from frees that were not there.

    Langford on track to become our best ever midfielder lol

    Don't Lol.
    Just might be true if we can keep him.

    Nothing but projection. Adams has never played an AFL game, instead of being a "solution" he could just as easily be out of his depth and put in a shocker.

    Should be leading, umpire missed trip & holding the ball

    Yeah you can blame that, but our kicking for goal has been woeful.

    Imagine that in the last quarter of a Grand Final.

    It absolutely is. He will be reported, and then fined I reckon. Which will be a gutless outcome.


    Can't see us winning this. No Viney, Melksham, Petty (or Turner) or at the other end, Lever is just a step too far. In an ideal world JVR would still be back in the VFL getting his game (back) together. As for Jefferson ... hard to see.

    Olivier looking a bit lost out there, he only knows one way to play.

    Inaccuracy not helping. Missed some very easy shots.

    I want the Kolt. How the hell is Sharp on instead of him?

    We're playing well but thank Christ for Koz and Harvey.

    Our forward line functions about as well as the jokes on bounce

    Official complaint needed to umpiring needed

    Green should beeline for media at end of game and make that case

    There is no excuse for that incompetance - none.

    Geez our kicking at goal is not acceptable. Allllllll the way back to the 2022 and 23 seasons especially 2023 finals

    Must be addressed

     

    Showing my age but I feel like I need to put on the

    every time we have a shot on goal :(

    Oliver lowered his eyes a couple of times which was good to see.

    Tracc is playing well but geez he's put some dump kicks down Sicily's throat

    • 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?
