These umpires are killing the game seriously. 50 metre penalties are BS

WTF is going on Gill??

Is that a serious question? 

Gill is pandering to the corporate advertisers and hasn’t a clue what drives footy fans to follow their teams through thick and thin. 

Cares about the bottom line 1,2 and 3.  The fans 98, 99 and ?

Wow lions 3 and 0 us 0 and 3. 

Who the hell would have thought that at the start of season.  Sure as hell wasnt  me. 

 

I had the Lions finishing 6th on the ladder.  Their form doesn't surprise me. 

In the interest of transparency,  I had us finishing 2nd.  And strangely enough,  our form doesn't surprise me.  Because we are Melbourne.

That McInerney goes alright. Has bobbed up when needed the last two weeks with some strong marking and goals.

He was right on our doorstep, instead we chose some giraffe spud called Filipovic.

Filipovic was the biggest dud ever, our recruiter should be sacked 

I'm liking the look of Brisbane.  They have some really good young talls who are starting to get their act together and have drafted a raft of fast hard mids with good foot skills.  Hipwood seems to have pulled his head out of his [censored], McInerny is standing up as the spare ruck/resting forward and Stef Martin is continuing his good form.  Bringing in Fagan seems to have been a masterstroke. 


Will be interested to see when the MRP  slaps Dusty with a feather for his actions.

Dusty should get 2 weeks for that behind the ball hit and the an extra week for that snorting signal. 

Hope the hawks beat nth today just to keep them on the bottom and Brad Scott is kept winless

Every week I come on this forum saying I hope essenscum lose but obviously stuffed that up, but at least the pies lost. By the way I did laugh when the pies fans booed Sheed last night when he was going for goal. Just because he kicked the winner in the gf because the pies gave up a 5 goal lead, it isn't his fault. 

Im happy to see brisbane do well. Its good for qld footy 

Why is the dogs/suns game today beginning at 2:20 and not 1:10?

Roughead out is a massive loss for the hawks though 

 

Last year we lead by 75 points against GC in the second qtr.

hate to think what the result would be today if we played them.

GC have inproved out of sight since May had left them.

Got in fresh young talent who are playing with such extreme enthusiasm.

And off loaded a few prima donnas who didn’t want to play for their pay.

Suns look a lot better without Lynch and May. Great team spirit despite the dogs having double the free kicks as usual

Rod Grinter would have got 12 weeks for the same offence !!


Wonder if the Dogs' win last week was more a product of Hawthorn hitting a wall in the fourth quarter with only two on the bench.

Props to GC for getting two wins on the board early, they certainly look a much better side than last year, but the only way they could have had an easier fixture so far than St Kilda, Fremantle and the Dogs would be if they'd had us in there somewhere.

Yep, that's it. Everything else has stayed the same.

Seriously BBP.

He will get 2 with 1 for a guilty plea. Should be 3 with 2 as off the ball.


GC would have beaten us easily today. Our one paced wombats bloated with bathwater  would have been left in the dust.

Demoralising, it would have been.

Come on man... that statement is based on YOUR expectations of where YOU think the team should be... 

It's fine to be disappointed, and if you can look across the team and go 'aye, they're simply getting their paycheck and not putting in effort' for each an every one of them - then I would concur - but it aint right.... :)

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
