Change from those silly around the corners that are so trendy lol

They’re messy aren’t they....

Stevie J started it and he seldom missed. Now players are doing it to hide how nervous they are.

    Terrible game, terrible umpiring, obnoxious crowd and bloody freezing.

    We've been really lucky with our final weather this year. The two best nights for it both weeks.

    Toby Greene needs to go Kung Fu style and get involved in this game. Has done bigger all.

    Downhill skier. Think his form in previous year's finals has been similarly flat. Goes missing when the going gets tough.

    WTF was Sidebottom doing with his arm after that melee? It looked like a Nazi salute?! 

    Thought similar.

    Worst call of the season was burgoyne on brayshaw last night 

    Shiel was worse.

    The non calls not going to the orange abominations are glaring for mine.

    'Old school' so I want these imposters (GWS) out of our finals.

    I want our team to beat proper footy teams as we progress (hopefully progress)  Never said the same about the Eagles,  Crows,  Port & Freo ... footy states that deserved representation.

    I still hate Collingwood though - sheer unadulterated hatred.  Pure hate.

    I agree. I was just thinking couldnt imagine Melbourne playing GWS in a GF? How bad would that be. Reckon it would feel an empty event given what we would have gone through to get there. 91,000 Dees and 3 GWS orange people.....na no way. Hope the pies knock em out.

    Umpiring is disgraceful.

    GWS player should've knocked it over the line rather than get flattened on top of the ball. Although with this biased umpiring it would've been called deliberate.

    Either way, umpiring is ridiculously biased in Collingwood's favour. With the scores this close, they'll probably determine the outcome with a howler call (or non-call).

    One week at a time Wadda,  one week at a time!

    But if we can get that far (mozz factor deactivated) I'd much rather face the Tigers or Pies.

    And no,  I am not getting ahead of myself or any of that bathwater nonsense!  ??

    There was also the touched goal in the third.

    Was that kick before the last goal the required distance.

    I was just saying that! Barely 15m.

    Anyway, game over. Umpires and AFL get their wish.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
