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.

    Does anyone have a link or know what the story is behind the article in the Herald-Sun "Demons Respond To Brutal Hawks Sledge"? Paywall article and just curious to know what was said.

    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 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 ❤️

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
