    An absolute disgrace. I was already livid at him for screaming at a first year player in Lindsey after that 50m penalty and then he has a go at the greatest ruckman of all time for a bad kick in the last 30 seconds. He can go and get [censored].

    Lindsey dropped his head after that spray and continued to make mistakes. As if he needed an over the top verbal spray from a senior 'leader' player.

    He cares. We need more like him. Grow up

    I hope those umpires have a rotten weak.

    How do they sleep?

    Bed bugs for the lot of them.

    These umpire-influenced games, in the wider context of deep institutional biases, really drain my love of football.

    I would guess this that this weekend I watched a total of 30 minutes other than our game, and it'll be less next weekend.

    My football watching has dropped to;

    Demons

    Checking on Carlton just because my brother is a blue and likes to chat football sometimes.

    Literally no other club interests me. Why bother even hating?

    Even for the Demons I no longer seek out a pub if the the game isn't free to air, just listen to online radio while doing other things.

    I used to inhale football news, watch three games a weekend, never miss a Melbourne game, and routinely wear my scarf just because I enjoyed a bit of random street banter about football.

    If we had one of Sidebottom or Pendles in our side, we win that.

    Just an unbelievably frustrating affair.

    We do so much right but we have to work twice as hard as any other team to win.

    Wouldn't mind seeing Bowsa in the middle more.

    May was wrong but the guy played his heart out. Show he cares. Seriously we butchered that and it been happening for years. Other than bottom teams how many close games have we won.

    Not enough.

    How far did McCreepy run in the last min when chased by Kossie???!!

    Too far but it's the Pies play on, play on!

    Effort was outstanding but why did we still bomb it in long all night towards Howe and Moore? That's precisely what the Collingwood coaching team would have wanted us to do.

    Special kudos to Max, May, Turner, Clarry and Langers (who did a superb job at irritating and closing down Nick Daicos).

    Sad to say, JVR disappointed yet again. He still does not seem to understand that forward craft involves more than crashing packs.

    I seldom criticize umpires, knowing that they have a tough job. But when every questionable decision throughout the game goes one way, you have to wonder what's going on.

    I’ve been a JVR apologist for too long now. He’s a bust, does not know how to get himself in the game. He can’t be part of our plan moving forward. Bloke does next to nothing

    Stealing defeat from the jaws of victory is so on brand for us.

    Played bravely but shot ourselves in the foot too many times, however I think our boys can hold their heads high.

    Max knows he f’ed that up and he knows May knows no other way than to say how it is, at the tone in which he’s feeling it. They’re big boys. They’ll be fine.

    May was outstanding today by the way.

    I seem to remember Max giving Trac a spray after his injury in the game last year, or am I mistaken?

    • 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?
