Pies got umpired all the way to the GF last year and it looks like AFLHQ want a repeat.

F$#k Leigh Matthews is tough to listen to. First he says "that's efficiency with a capital "I". Then says the game flows better with more free kicks... STFU & retire you dumbass

Umpire literally blocked Lachie Neale from the ball coming to him and directly cost them a goal. Absolutely horrible and unjust. Surely something has to be done?!

Charlie Cameron.... 1 player from any club I think would make us a really tough side to beat. Aaannnddd then gives away a 50

Why do fwds try and mark on the goal line instead of shepherding the ball?!

gee the umpiring has been interesting.  That beams in the back wasn't there, the ump gets in the way and I thought they did review each goal so how did no one pick it up. Brisbane players are being held and they get zilch.

Good to hear the brisbane crowd up and about again 

But collingwood do look good when they go forward

Simple answer= They DONT review every goal. It clearly touched the post.

Umpiring has resulted in at least 3 goals to the Pies so far and missed a clear interference on a Brissy forward earlier for the shot directly in front.  Went down the other end for another Pie goal for a potential 12 point turnaround.

The ducking in the goal square decision up there with the worst for the year.  Brissy were within 5 points at that point from memory.

Is it just me or has footy been a real tough watch this year? So many whistles, horrible defensive zoning, slow play, poor skills. 

Just a real hard watch.

Is it just me who thinks Zorko is a fantastic footballer? 30 years of age but I'd have him at Melbourne.

It’s been the worst quality footy in my lifetime. Not a single quality or memorable game. The new rules and over-officiating by the umpires has destroyed the game.

I rewatched the Bulldogs-Essendon 2000 game this morning and the quality of footy and commentary in that game just leaves the modern game for dead.

The AFL needs to go back to that.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits. I apologize for skipping our annual season review show at the end of last season. After a disapponting season filled with off-field antics and a heated trade week, I needed a break. Thankfully, the offseason has recharged me, and I’m back—ready t

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
