Did you report them to abuse phone number or to security? If a few people heard it and were prepared to support your complaint, they are outski. Pricks like that don't deserve to be there.

Yes security were notified and after a long deliberation one guy was escorted out but the others remained inside and were monitored for the rest of the match. Fair to say they got a decent send off by the Melbourne faithful when they left after Melksham's sealer. Good riddance

    Agree. The volume was far too loud (reminiscent of the Meatloaf fiasco) and I was disappointed they didn’t fire one of their free Hawks T shirts in my direction because I was feeling lucky.

    Hah and they ran out of fireworks mid last quarter. Just like their team. Only just getting my voice back.

    Melbourne didn’t break even when Hawthorn charged and got unsociable in semi-final

    SAFE to say, the old Melbourne would have cracked.

    A huge lead shrinking by the minute in a huge final in front of a huge crowd - all against a rival boasting a September pedigree unmatched over the past decade.

    Yet there’s a belief within this Demons side that burns bright.

    MATCH REPORT: CYCLONE MELBOURNE COMING TO PERTH

    PLAYER RATINGS: EVERY HAWK, DEMON RATED

    ROBBO: DEES PLAY DOG-UGLY FOOTY

    Not even when the Hawthorn players suddenly got “lippy” in the last quarter did the Demons wobble.

    When Jarryd Roughead nailed a set shot to cut Melbourne’s 32-point three quarter-time margin to 12 points at the 11-minute mark of the fourth term, another Hawk couldn’t help but stir the pot.

    “You’ve blown it. You blokes are choking, you blokes are choking,” he yelled to any Demon who would listen.

    But, like the Western Bulldogs of 2016 and Richmond of 2017, this isn’t the same old Demons.

    Unfortunately my night was marred by racist remarks directed at Salem and Jetta by a group of Hawthorn fans in Q1. Left me feeling down for the remainder of the match, but it was a great win by the boys. Go Dees

    Hawthorn supporters are unbearable when they are winning, the arrogance and smugness is truly disgusting. Then when the shoe is on the other foot, they perpetually b!tch and moan.

    They love to dish it out, but cannot take it themselves. Pathetic weak rabble.

    They flopped from the opening bounce for frees.  All game!  if they look at the flops, they will book half the hawks team.

    It annoys me Mitchell does the wrong thing especially after the Selwood one & because Oliver hasn't braced himself then he's a stager. But when the Hawk  captain gets tackled and throws himself back 2 get a free kick & goal, then it's ok.Give me a break.

    The fireworks were arrogant and embarrassing. They stopped them in the second half didn't they?

    The trade included our 2018 first round pick. So as we now finish no lower than 4th, the final spot in the draft just went down one.

    It’s a huge stretch to say that changes the value of thr trade, but that’s the logic behind the comment.

     

    Paraphrasing one crows fan from big footy "it doesn't matter that Melbourne finished higher, we were so crap that we still get the same picks we expected (meaning approx picks 10 and 16)"

    What a fantastic night mk 2! We did it! I know there isn’t something special about writing here moments after the win but these last two weeks I’ve just lost it!

    We were not particularly great but the big takeaway for me is the we stood up in pivotal moments of the game. The two biggest was red time in the 3rd quarter, and when the Hawks kicked 3 on the trot in the last. The latter was a massive test as we had barely touched the ball in that period, but the ability to win that centre clearance and generate an opportunity through Mlikshakes was something we couldn’t do in the past and from then on we started winning contested ball again and wrestled the momentum back. Sometimes that means so much more in a final that playing the perfect 4 quarter game.

    Jack Viney - BOG by a very long way. An absolute man possessed. All those training sessions and him getting flogged would have had him so sick of not playing and he has just unleashed in the last few weeks. A man that was made to play finals!

    Michael Hibberd- In my opinion they were the two best. There were periods in the 2nd and 3rd where the ball spent A LOT of time in defence. Their delivery was pretty good as well and we were under siege. The number of times this guy saved our rear ends is probably not measured by stats and his ability to kick a brilliant weighted ball out of the defensive 50 under pressure to a target is so valuable.

    The Backline - Along with Hibbo these guys had their work cut out for them. I wouldn’t have been surprised if they were really knackered by half time. Jetta was incredible keeping Breust quiet, an AA forward. Oscar and a Frosty continue to really impress. By the way Oscar hits nearly every short pass to a teammate so it would be refreshing if people would give the maligning treatment a rest now!

    T-Mac - 10 marks, 3 contested in the 50, 4 deadly goals! When you need a clunker he provides it. So valuable.

    Gawn and McEvoy had a good duel I thought early but Maxy took over!  An kick a goal now too! That mark in the last quarter was something to behold, is equal to our chances. Petracca played a very good game and moved well, thought he chopped his kicks a bit often to be considered in our top 3 but he was much less fumbly than last week. Oliver the clearance king, Brayshaw not as active but two clutch goals. We showed that we can beat quality opposition now with a few more gears to go to.

    We have exceeded expectations, not getting ahead of ourselves but it is fair to say that we are a good football side and a finals football side. We belong!

    I want to go to Perth badly. I am probably way too late to the flight booking party and the cash outlay will be ginormous. It could be a bridge too far unfortunately but hoping for some kind of miracle. For now though, just take it all in!

    Lastly, to all of you. You are the best fans to be associated with. Seeing all the red and blue again and all the people at the Mountain View after on the rooftop bar singing the song was such a privilege. I love you all ❀

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
