AFL fixing the problem.
You may just be right on that one Ethan. What I struggle to come to grips with is, that basic decisions are not being given to certain teams and soft/technical ones are given to other teams. Using our game as an example, Weid was pushed right in the back 15 out and so was JKH by Jenkins, who handballed to Lynch late in the game, but no frees for blatant pushes, yet soft holds given to Crows for goals. Then the refusal to give blatant holding the ball decisions against the Crows, but again instant frees against us, like the Viney one. These decisions are so visible, obvious and blatant, that you are left to think that it is an agenda, or we are just the unluckiest team in sport. Several times the commentators call them, but you know their instructions are to just gloss over them, as we canât criticise umpires and we all generally agree with that, but seriously is it just the rub of the green? We had one single infringement against us in our forward 50, in a 2 hour physical contest, according to the umpires. PS. I know it was us and our kicking that lost the game, but why do we not get what other teams do?

They have been instructed by the AFL to not rubbish the umpires.

And they will beat us kicking 14-6 to our 8-18.

The commentators like the whole footy world have been told not to highlight poor umpiring.

CHANGES: Rd 12 vs Collingwood
Given JKH has not played a senior game this year I didnât think he was too bad. I actually thought Spargo wasnât that bad either. At least they try and get the ball at a contest, unlike you know who.

AFL fixing the problem.
Itâs ok everyone, we can relax, the AFL is fixing the problem. What is the problem you ask, well a kick for goal by a Docker was touched by a Pies player and not picked up by the review. On the TV you can see Mayneâs little finger touch the ball. It was reviewed by the AFL heavily last night after the game, as a missed touch to Collingwood could seriously harm the game. The Pies received 7 frees in their inside forward 50 to the Dockers one. 4 goals were gifted to the Pies from blatant incorrect decisions but letâs not worry about that. We got 1 free inside our forward 50 to 4 soft goals to Crows yesterday but we are only Melbourne and not Collingwood . Blatant Melbourne frees ignored as per usual. The AFL said we are not worried about Melbourne as who really cares anyway. We look at the issues that count and that matter to our great game like this missed touch on the ball. Heads will roll over this. Maybe if our club mattered as much as the tip of a Collingwood players little finger we would become relevant. We clearly are not. The game has seriously lost a lot of its enjoyment to me.

He was pushed directly in the back and it was a basic free kick since 1896 when the game started. Same as Weideman 10 metres out, but we donât get basic frees, while opposition get slight touches.

Besides our own disgraceful kicking for goal, don't forget the bad luck we are continually having. Can't get a free in front of goal ever. Multiple injured players unlike the opposition each week. Lose Salem and Hore just before the game. With them in it would be fair to say we win.

Are you serious? Have you ever played the bloody game? He is a squib of the highest order. His gutless play must drive his team mates mad. It certainly does to nearly every Dees fan I know. So if a bloke gets 3 Joe the Gooses and pulls out of every contest, you think he has played well. Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you. I have said that for weeks. The guy is scared sh-tless. Play him and you deserve to lose every week. He must have been involved in at least 10 negative incidents tonight, any one of which if he had tried, we would have won. I feel sorry for Weid because he should never have been in that position. He was nearly crying. Jeffy couldn't give a flying f-ck.

If you continue to play that squib Jeffy, this club deserves every loss it will have.

Demons Grand Plan for Yarra Park Training HQ
No, stick to the topic and your post. You said since PJ left we have stumbled at every step. I then mentioned membership and you have ignored this year and guessed it âwillâ be less next year. How is next yearâs unknown membership number a stumble when this year is a record number?

He might end up playing a 100 or so more games with us than Spargo.

He has a mental health, concussive, knee ankle hamstring injury. Should be ok in 4-6.
