Has a team ever won the Inside 50 count by 20 and had more Inside 50s than their score?

There’s not many games that the umpires really impact!

But they absolutely screwed the Demons tonight!


Umpiring a disgrace.

Harmes killed all our momentum in the third quarter when he decided to go and hit a number of Port Adelaide players on the [censored].

Lewis cooked.

Tyson cooked.

Fumbles.

Umpiring a disgrace.

Oscar is nothing with Lever.

Melksham and Tom McDonald couldn't buy a free kick.

Hogan went missing.

Jetta is a star.

 

I'm not unhappy with our effort away from home.

I thought we deserved to win but for the umpiring.. early it was the momentum stopping free.  Late it was 10 consecutive free kicks in the last quarter. 

What else can we do?


Four point to the AFL tonight. 

That was as blatant as is gets

We lack composure. We don’t make selections factoring in the opposition or the conditions. We don’t beat good teams.

Great effort by most with poor execution. Needed to take our chances in the first half but couldn’t break them or the crowd. Two many that think they are better than they are. Hogan and Petracca time for your talent to be matched with intensity. 

Deserved to lose. 

Taking out Spargo and not bringing in another crumber, having all those useless inside 50’s with no one to pounce, while Tyson comes in to do some bit part stoppage work in some sort of made up role is just nonsense. 

Worst part is Port were awful. 


Don't care what anyone says, we were absolutely robbed by those [censored] maggots!!

I think we will probably scrape into the 8, and lose week one. 

Too many players who give us nothing under pressure. Jetta and McDonald literally bleed for us, while Petracca, Tyson, Hogan, Neal Bullen etc disappear. 

Losing Lever was the end of our season. 

I hope we make finals to get over that mental hurdle, but sadly we are nowhere near good enough to impact in September. 

A brave effort.

Utterly disgusting umpiring

But gee we do some stupid stuff, ie Oscar's 50m penalty when he was three weeks late, to pick one example 


With that loss and seeing as we can’t beat any team with talent and with the run home for other clubs below us I can’t see us getting near the eight now.

Pretenders may as well book September holidays

Just did!!

If you follow the Socceroos and Melbourne you seriously need some good counseling.

 

Lost that in the first half with so much wasted opportunity. We had them complete on toast but persisted with the long bomb inside 50 to a pack of 10 players system which NEVER works for us. Just dumb footy.

umpiring sucked bad but we lost that ourselves

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
