This umpiring is an absolute [censored] joke. I don't normally give a [censored] about umpiring but [censored] these [censored]. 

 

Apart from that, what a ripper game. 

Some of our ball movement would destroy a lot of other teams, but Hawthorn are always right with ya and cause that last fumble. We're getting there. I think we'll run out of steam as usual, but I hope the intensity stays.

For those who are saying look how good we are going without Hogan, may i remind you that Weideman is a more natural lead than Hogan. Weed knows when to time his run when the ball is coming to him.

Jesse is a natural CHF. He wants to go to the ball, not wait for it.

We all support Melbourne.  Of course it's going to be biased and emotional.

See you later then.  You won't be missed.

Not worried about the umpiring. Just focused on the MFC and loving what I am seeing. 

How exciting is the Weed? Getting some serious love in this house.

I will, better comments on forums with neutrals without the biased emotional garbage whinging about umpires every comment.

And just quietly, the reason everyone is so frigging angry about it, is because we have a fantastic young team, who desperately need a big scalp, and who would be five goals up at half time against the probable premier but for some absolutely disgusting, unfathomable decisions.

If you don't like it, nick off to BigFooty and talk about the game with West Coast supporters or something.

He looks like a natural footballer.  Couldn't have asked for more in the first half.  Hoping he doesn't tired too much in the second and continues to provide that contest.

Give him another couple of years, hopefully playing alongside Hogan, and we'll have one damn fine forward line on our hands.

Can someone watching on TV please tell me why Rioli got the free kick after the Oliver bump?

Hunt got him over the shoulder. 

Paul Roos absolutely lost his [censored] at the one after that though - the one where he blatantly ducked into Jones' tackle and got rewarded.

When we have Hogan leading up the ground and making himself a big, strong marking target across half forward, with Watts and Weed back, we'll be unstoppable.

Both in the same team would be nice

12 touches and [censored] knows how many clearances for Oliver in that quarter.

He had 6 clearances that term.  Sensational stuff.  Love how quick he is with the ball in terms of making a decision.

The umpiring is horrendous. It feels like every time we get a decent buffer up they get a shocking decision and a goal.

It's ruining an otherwise entertaining game. We're playing at a high level with some really good ball movement and, most importantly, intensity at the contest.

I hope we can keep it up for 4 quarters. Limit the turnovers and a bit of luck with them not getting goals from frees and we can do this.

A lot to like regardless, though.

I doubt it.I think garlet and pedo need to start kicking goals.

This could be our sweetest win in eons. Go dees.

And he's kicking the ball. Clearly, they've told him to focus on gaining some territory and being a bit more damaging with his disposal. He's obviously worked on it, and he's killing it.

Agree,  I am normally emotionally detached when watching games  just watch the footy   but now nursing bruised right hand from smashing it into chair in front of me after one umpiring decision

I don't condone violence in sport, bit somebody needs to knock Rioli into September. He's become a Hodge and Lewis. Dirty fuc&a.

He was tackled high. It was there, but somehow they miss almost everytime we get hit high. Reckon Bernie has a broken nose, no free though. Jetta copped one on the siren as well. He was wobbly getting up, he may be concussed again. [censored] hope not.

Hogan and Weeds in the same team today would've been good.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
