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.🙌

    Jeffo sub out and Kolt on. Need to move Disco to CHF

    Preferably Sharp out - only 2 disposals

    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.

    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: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
