    for me at least a third ( mentioned elswhere.,.but in theme here )

    Hird after being awarded 50 m penaly ..continued to harrass and hassle . He is meant to go to the point of the new mark as soon as possible, not interfere with the player.. why wasnt a secondary 50 awarded... talk about double standards !!

    agreee completely, and the umpire wasnt blindsided in the tripping contest. he was side on and 15 metres away, bruce had his arms wide apart and even looked at the umpire and the umpire called play on.

    regarding the rucks, thats happening more and more and is not policed. whites advantage is his leap, so i dont know if its a tactic used against white specifically but it seems to be happening often, running at the other player, jumping into them, and then tapping the ball. it is against the rules and should be payed to white.

    Umpire S.Grun was responsible for the poorest work last night. The majority of bad decisions were his. I'm not just saying this because his adjudication was 15-3 in favour of Essendon. A real shocker. Off to Horsham next week.

    Can anyone tell me if the 30 sec shot at goal rule is still in effect?

    Whenver lloyd had a shot at goal he took longer and one shot was 42 seconds.

    If it was Neitz or one of ours im sure they would of called play on

    Please don't blame the umpires.

    We had plenty of chances to bury them and simply didn't take them.

    Thank you. At least there is one other person on here that agrees with me.

    Yeah, he is a hack who didn't deserve any of them. :rolleyes:

    Exactly!

    Blaming the umpires is a weak cop-out.

    I'm blaming our players who can't protect leads.

    Daniel Motlop

    Brad Johnson

    Andrew Swallow

    Scott Lucas

    also haven't helped matters.

    Agree entirely.

    For all the mindless whinging about umpires and how biased they are against MFC, it living proof that those people see what they want to see and that is not much.

    Of all the decisions that was costly there could be none more penalising than the goal umpire who deprived Lloyd with a two grab mark on the goal line in the last quarter. The goal umpire called the second grab across the line when he was clearly blindsided by it and the replay showed it was in the play.

    Funny how there was no comment on that.

    Ash 30, FWIW, I like many others think the James Hird is an out and out champion no matter how many times he has towelled Melbourne.

    i must say the umpiring department should look at the richmond st kilda game and tell the others "please watch this and umpire the game like this"

    Well said davey_magik.....

    And while the umpires didn't really help our situation, they certainly didn't cost us the game.

    We managed that all by ourselves :( :angry: !!!

    And I agree with condemned, in that the Richmond-St Kilda game was a great example of how this game should be taken care of.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      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?
