You could flip it and say as we started playing better footy, we got more frees. Apart from the inconsistency in adjudication, the thing that gets me is where the kicks are paid. Without going back and watching it, I'm pretty sure they got two pretty soft ones in front of goal in the first quarter which resulted in goals. Even if they could be more consistent I'd be happy. It's just like the MRO decisions we see week in, week out. The inconsistency leaves it all open to doubt. Turn it into a proper career path, pay them properly and drop them for poor performances. Definitely interested in that statistical analysis. Just need to look at it all on a bigger screen.

You're kidding. That was the reason for the charge being dropped to a fine?

And if they do, the umps will get em home

One of the blues defenders just walked it over the goal line at one stage too. Three Carlton players there and no Dee's within 10 metres.

Is anyone on here going to say the AFL doesn't have bias towards the blues and pies. Infuriating double standards.

So who reckons Newman will get rubbed out for his elbow to ANBs jaw? Late, left the ground. I reckon he'll get a fine. Because Carlton. https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/live-afl-scores-2024-carlton-blues-vs-melbourne-demons-round-9-updates-stats-video-how-to-stream-watch-news-blog/news-story/53a0904ddc0a2d7d0ca5e4062062263a

It's channel 7 and fox technology as per the broadcast contract with the AFL and even BT Complained aBout it. BT also complai Ed about the disappointing crowd numbers for a Melbourne home game (which it wasn't)

So, what are you all going to do about it? Don't rely on the club, they obviously won't. They never have. How about giving some feedback to the AFL yourselves. Seriously, if we want change, we need to take action ourselves. (Booing like Carlton fans doesn't count ) Anyone want to drag up the email address for the head of umpiring and the AFL ceo? I'm happy to give direct feedback. We didn't deserve to win but... we would have with effective umpiring DM me, their email address. They are politicians. 200 demonlanders lodging their feedback directly might make them do something about the woeful standards of umps and cryptos.

Yep May's touched that ball. Listening to BT complain about how hard it is to tell from the vision WHEN HE WORKS FOR THE NETWORK THAT THE AFL RELIES UPON TO ADJUDICATE GOAL REVIEWS. JVRs legitimate tackle and ultimate disallowed goal. Umpire 22 paying a htb kick against Petracca dead in front with less than a minute to go. Of course it was him ump 22. However.... We missed some sitters. We were horrible in the first qtr. How does Walsh keep getting it so easy by us. Congrats to Michael Voss. He has them playing like triple premiership lions. So tough through the midfield and the equivalent of Brown and Lepptich up forward. God help us if he gets hold of an akermanis. The silver lining. That second defeat may sting more than last year's final. We came back a long way under greasy conditions. We had them. We know we can smash them and underneath it all, Carlton knows it too. Christian Petracca almost single handedly won us the game. A whole new level for him.

BT crowd only 58 thousand. Slightly disappointing for a Melbourne home game.

Max

Don't forget it's so we never have to play in the wet!

Tracc vs Carlton. Incredible

Took it through the behinds under no pressure.

C'mon I saw him kick it to a team mate who marked it. What more do you want?

Absolute gold

We should be 3 to 4 goals down. Umpiring is disgraceful. I still think we're in this. It will get close and then the maggots will kick in to get the baggers home.

That was a blatant 50 to jvr

Max pushed in the back

11 to 3

Walsh dropped it like a school bag... Play on

Grind away dees. You can dot it

And I take it back Tracc

Oh Tracc. Two out the back

Just brilliant defence by the blues.
