Don’t eat fish or anything else that will stink the house up then beforehand 😂

That’s a great call. When they were on top it felt like we had 2-3 going for the ball/player like yesteryear. Because of that when they won it or got it free they had players on the outside and that’s why it seemed they had so meant extra at the contest.

Not gonna be a popular opinion but is it time for a Captains call NRL style. 1 a game. So howlers like the above can be appealed. And it might force the umpires to start using their whistle. Something needs to change.

Last one from me. But apart from the JVR one being an obvious miss, why in earth wasn’t Langdon paid the free for being tackled without the ball just before it? This is just a coupe of howlers in last few mins. Won’t change the result now but club should put in a please explain cause there was a heap of shockers tonight and is most weeks. 005790f7-5d3f-49a9-90bc-8ee5a81e8eaf.mp4

Sparrow one made me the most cross. Umpired even commented it wasn’t taking the knees so he saw it. Then a Carlton player got a free for less in the back against Oliver a few minutes later in the same position.

Couldn’t agree more. They were hot on us for holding the ball but plenty of times they got away with incorrect disposal. It’s the complete inconsistency which makes everyone so angry. How in earth Bowey’s mark was not allowed in the 4th when he moved his player but then some Carlton player moved Kossey in the same way a few minutes later it’s fine. That’s what drives us mad.

The lack of holding the balls paid to us was and absolute disgrace.

Nup Brawshaw was terrible last night. Don’t remember him hitting a target by foot. Absolute liability

Subbing out a small in and under player in the wet when their best tall is out of the game speaks volumes of our coaches. Game lost there. Could not believe my eyes. To think Petty, Max, Grundy or JVR could have done more than Jmac in the last quarter needs their head read. Sorry but there you are Simon and Adam. How many of their talls kicked goals from pack marks in the last? Utter stupidity considering the conditions.

He slides in in his knees which is illegal. What the hell was Hunter meant to do? This game has lost the plot.

Calmest i’ve been after a loss for a while as frustrating as it was. Taken some time to think and really it was a bad week to have all the changes. Sparrow was a massive out with the conditions as they were. Protect the head and all that but how soft is the game now ffs-Grundies freee tonight was just as bad fmd. Anyway! Tmac did ok but then JVR was -1 goal so that didn’t work. Would rather have had Bowey playing on one leg than JVR on for last quarter and a half as it was so wet and unsuited to that style player and maybe get Jmac to tag Butters but anyway, again, I digress. Salem comes in for Brayshaw in the backline and Brayshaw replacing Sparrow clearly didn’t work. Plus we missed the third tall down back with Petty out but Tmac probably did as well forward as Petty would have had he been playing there, so call it a draw except Petty Ives better and may have presented more-but calling 2 goals a draw…. All in all a frustrating game and wish the coaches would fix things up sooner. Really thought we’d have runaway with it in the 4th and disappointing to see the run die off. Wish the umpires would use their whistle in the last 5 minutes like they had all game and pay the throws and holds down our end (plus the obvious 2nd 50m penalty). But that would just paper over the cracks for this team and let’s just hope as such it’s the loss we had to have.

Glad someone said it!!

Agreed!! What the hell has happened to this? Looked much better when we were quick and instinctive

Except for the third quarter. It’s perplexing I know…

Exactly. Which is why it’s a great tactic 7/9 of the time. And maybe make those other two two in a row to keep ‘em guessing ffs. But to go 100% or just didn’t work at all tonight. Even more in the wet.

Whilst plenty of other things cost us the game, it’s clearly bad when the commentary picks it out multiple times. It’s time to spend more money on better full time umpires.

That was nuts for sure!!! They took putting the whistle away to such a new level they brought it back…to pay the marks

let me know when you figure out how

Funny you can’t get out hey when it’s highlighted on AFL360 to everyone we kick to the same spot all the time like last year. Think it’s a not a bad ploy but fu©️k maybe 1 in 5 change it up

Awesome turn out at the game tonight. Considering the Melbourne based supporters couldn’t fly up I thought I’d be lucky to be there with 500 other mad Dees. How wrong I was. Can’t tell you how weird but wonderful it was to be there cheering the “Mel-bourne” chant with my kids with thousands of other Demon fans in Sydney. Not to mention giving them a team we can finally trust and be proud of! They are only young and just expect Melbourne to always win which I think is pretty funny given my 30 years of following them. The highlight of the game live had to be the chains of handballs that resulted in the TMac goal which was as loud as the G. How many times in years gone by would we have bottled it right at the end even though we had the outnumber forward? Not any more! Mays pack mark was awesome on the wing when Brisbane were giving their final push too. Well done Dees and their outer state supporters. Was a cracking night. No voice left but I’m sure I’m not alone. Thoughts with all of you in Melbourne stuck at home but hopefully you’ll be let out soon and tonight has helped brighten your mood!!

Would be nice if they counted the votes of each round. Be an interesting insight into who they thought played well vs who we think played well...plus make it a hell of a lot more interesting.

You’re welcome! Awesome game to go to. There was just as many Hawthorn there but they were quieter for some reason? Go Dees!

Seems like a pretty good call ???
