    This clearly shows, from my interpretation of the season, that we are a truly good side getting better. If we have received the most goals from frees in the fwd50, and we have consistently lost out on poor decisions against us in the fwd50 to the distinct advantage of other teams, particularly 'big' teams, then: OVERCOMING THE PRIOR MISSED GOALS AND KICKING ONE OF THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF GOALS IN THE COMPETITION, WE ARE GOING VERY WELL. IT IS A MATTER OF HOW MANY GOALS THE UMPIRES AWARD TO OUR OPPONENTS IN ANY GAME THAT DETERMINES  THE SEASON RANKING. DOMINANCE HAS TO BE COUNTERED, OVERCOME, EVENED AND BRUSHED ASIDE.

    One thing that annoys me about that stat is, when we take a mark and there is some interference they pay a free (to us) and  it is recorded as a free. Goal from a free when we had the mark anyway! Makes the figures look good for the umps.

    Well if we have kicked the most goals SURELY channel 7 would love us on a Friday night. With all the goal breaks the advertising guru's would spend more. Open your eyes 7 and AFL and make it happen.

    This is the language that Channel 7 can understand ... well done.

    True, but they are more likely to get the AFL to change the rules to ensure 'big' teams can kick more goals.

    Just noticed we have scored 1561 points (average 104 = 17.3 goals) with the next nearest Richmond 1461 (average 97 = 16.1 goals) after the last round. Simple really. Goals = breaks = $$$$ in revenue. Carlton 942 points (average 62.8 = 10.4 goals) and St Kilda 1055 points (average 70.3 = 11.7 goals).   Hmmmm channel 7 missing the plot here.

    Classic, tidy up the backline, who knows what might happen? Decent fullback, CHBack able to adjust this year, another tall mobile.

    This is the long-term worry that has besieged us for so long and now it is so terribly evident as a form of manipulated earnings.

    You mean they have found the blues paper bags from the 70s ?

    If we could only get maximum return from our inside 50s and not squander them as against Geelong, GC, St K, PA and Freo we would not need to add much to our backline and we would have three more wins.

    Dare to dream.

    This makes me mad. We get bent over week after week with dubious decisions by the umpiring. Yet here Woosha get up and has a crack. Where is Goodwin or other leaders at the club protesting about the run we get with them. Stand for something! Bloody annoying. 

    I'm the opposite. To me it smacks of Woosha having a whinge and blaming the umps publicly for why they are losing to deflect from them having a terrible year. I would hate Goody coming out and complaining about the umpires. gives the players an out.

    To a normal onlooker, in a normal, not coercionable, sincere  competition that would be correct, but.........

    Today's game confirmed for me what I thought has been happening for a while.

    On 2 separate occasions a player was lining up for a shot on goal and a voice came over the umpires earpiece saying '15 seconds', the umpire would then tell the kicker that 15 seconds had gone.

    Umpires are taking directions from a 3rd party. Who is that, and why?

    Umps were terrible today. Terrible.  One sided towards the dogs.   Dees should ask for some explanations. Salem’s roll tackles given push in the back when it copied so many of the dogs tackles.  Ridiculous.

    And they overlooked so many blatant throws, and also many incorrect disposals.

    And don't start me on that prima donna Chamberpot - he just cant resist making it all about him!

    Multiple times Dogs ran too far with it, invaded the "protected" zone, threw it like it was water polo, and Hogan and McDonald T were not playing on footballers, they were playing on Greco-Roman wrestlers.


    Business as usual for the umps.

    Harmes handball in a tackle dribbles into the point post. Deliberate!!! Goal to dogs

    johanussen runs it through the goals under no pressure with only a demon being 10 metres away. Point. 

    Unbelievably bad umpiring

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
