    Nicholls just paid Boak a mark that was knocked out as soon as it hits his hands and the filth player got all ball.

    Nicholls does that all the time.

    Also a master of blowing the whistle to pay an uncontested mark BEFORE player has actually marked it, then paying it anyway or finding some other reason to give them a free when they drop it.

    Dud decision. The guy was right here too. 

    Was a [censored] awful decision. Of course it had to be that moron Nicholls who paid it. Who else?

    And I can't get my hopes up about Fremantle winning because I just know it won't happen... but geez, that would be the highlight of the weekend if it eventuated. If that happened, and Adelaide beat North, every other result becomes irrelevant and the top 8 teams are locked in.

    Would be the AFL's worst nightmare, so rest assured they'll get Geelong over the line.

    How many 7m kicks are paid as marks these days? Anyone else noticing this?

    Freo having a crack, the joy.

    Chrome dome strikes again!

    Yeah would be stupid to get hopes up about Freo. Can still see Geelong flogging them.

    Port could still go out with 2 losses, if Geelong won next week

    Yes! 

    Umpires seem to be getting lazy. Paying marks early, paying short marks, allowing players to run too far without a bounce...etc

    Maybe they should get back to umpiring the basic stuff instead of looking for and making all the dramatic calls

    As long as the percentage is kept down. 

    You’d hope so. Where’s that rain they were talking about?

    I’m at the game, no rain, plenty of wind and bloody cold

    Have you been dragged along? Haha. A few dark clouds around by the look of it but that’s it.

    Freo have gone home already.

    I’ve switched that one off. Freo will probably kick 3 more for the day.

    Geelong can't [censored] miss. [censored].

    Cant believe I gave Freo a chance.  They're a joke. 

  • Quote

    Just imagine, we get 13 wins and Geelong knock us out of the top 8 by percentage. Would that not be the most infuriating end to the season imaginable, considering our two losses against the pricks?

    I can't think of any ending more heartbreaking for the MFC, which means it will definitely happen. This team always finds creative new ways to plunge the knife deeper into our hearts.

    Not watching the game, but I'm not surprised. Nicholls is blind cheating scum. How he remains employed is one of the greatest mysteries of the universe. He's influenced more AFL matches than the f*cking senior coaches have this year!

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
