Pretty sad really

We were the better side most of the night.

Poor ball use inside 50 and biased umpiring cost us the four points in a brutal battle.

I counted 7-8 frees that were called the wrong way either against him, or not for him. He had a filthy run. 

And was super on form as well, should have kicked about 6.

Oscar absolutely terrible again.

Rubbish.  Murdered Dixon all night and was paid two of the softest 50 metre penalties in history against him tonight.

Could have and should have beaten them. The inside 50s were like early on this season. We need to get cleaner. Good effort and intensity - Jetta and Viney huge. Fritsch did some sublime things.

I believe we will still make finals.

Terrible umpiring mistakes killed our momentum and gave Port clear advantage several times. Disgraceful.


If the AFL are serious about improving the game in respect to fairness and equalisation, they MUST address the Adelaide, Perth and Geelong homeground umpiring bias, because it kills the game dead, and it did that tonight. Simply just not an even playing field.

How many goals did Dixon kick? 

Not the point. Oscar was woeful, all could see that

Melksham could have been shot out there and they wouldn't have given him a free kick.

 

Can't wait for the presser...

Actually..i can

Actually I can't be bothered

We also lost so much momentum when Max wasn’t in the middle. Tim Smith barely got a finger on it all night.

He’s one of a number of fringers that don’t impact in big games.


Gutted. Poor inside 50 and the umps were a disgrace..

Just could not buy a free or even the odd 50/50 in the last 45 minutes. From Wingards “I thought it was a mark” from 15, Melky’s momentum killing free against and 50, again by 15 to Brayshaws non Mark in the last 2 minutes. Need I go on?

Dumb comment - did you not actually watch the game?  Oscar's sloppy frees against were crucial in us losing such a tight game. He wasn't the only offender but he was terrible.

29 more inside 50s is a disgrace not to win, just cost a  top 4   FINALS spot

Kidding right?  He was woeful

How could you possibly say we deserved to lose? We killed them in all aspects. The maggots literally got them over the line. 

I will not be watching the AFL anymore and cancelling foxtel until they fix up the complete inconsistencies with the disgusting decision making. 

Imagine explaining the rules to someone who watched that last quarter. It literally just shows they are run by the betting companies. Money talks and unfortusntly the league is not what we think it is.

Deserved to lose was a bit stupid,  should’ve just said selection cost us and was always going to. 

So port set themselves for a big game - where willing to hurt a few , we need to get back to a last game philosophy.

No tomorrow. 

Our contested marking around the ground was woeful. 

Tyson has played his last game

Hogan is totally lost...

Beaten by pressure again.....

Tough run home.....

That 2nd quarter decision was one of the baffling I have ever seen.

Kidding?  Nah.  Haters will see what they want to see.  Gives away a couple of dubious free kicks and he's had a 'woeful' night.  

His job is to shut down key forwards.  He smashed Dixon all night.  Job done.

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. 

Agreed @Jaded. I'm disappointed but not throwing the baby out with the bath water. 

We are judging ourselves against round 11 expectations not against preseason expectations. At the start of the year "8-5 with 127% and just pushed Port to 10 points against shitty umpiring" we'd be stoked.

We need to play finals, and we should given the games left and the way we played in 7 of the last 8 matches. We might not finish top 4 but st haven't played finals in 11 years; I don't think we need to be disappointed for not skipping the expected step (finals) and jumping to top 4 straight away.

Utter garbage. Find something else to blame. WTF.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
