Great pic,,, two guys who love the club and have played at the 1 club,  and a pitiful loser in the background whos on to his third club.

 

Heartstopper!

I feel numb, in a good way.

Lockhart for rising star

We look great with extra 4 days break. 

Long long road but will take over those AFL protected maggots.

Absolutely! He looks dangerous whenever he gets near the ball, and when he doesn't have it, he's working for it. Lots to like, big future.

He is the small forward we need at the moment. Tackles hard, is confident enough to go up the ground and has footy smarts. I like his hard edge

I wonder if the club will post me my memberships back? 

Asking for a friend, but how do you un-microwave something?

great win dees, jones & harmes really stood up when the team needed them to. 

i've been telling my mates all week to keep the faith but they all chose to throw in the towel. glad i stayed strong. 

hopefully this is not another false start and we really can get going this season. 

up the mighty demons!!!!!!!!!!

Winning move; They benched OMAC for that last minute

pfft, even after a desperate one-goal season-on-the-line win you want to snipe?

For what it is worth (and I know Oscar had a few hairy moments as always),

O. McDonald. 8 kicks, 6 marks (1 contested), 100% disposal efficiency, 0 clangers, and 10 one-percenters.

He did his job. Nothing special or super, but he did his job.

Story of the win really - a bunch of players who have been in seriously bad form were able to come out and at least do 'enough'.

Best examples would be Nibbler, Hunt, Stertch and O.Mc himself.

Meanwhile, a couple of players seemed to actually find some of their better form, led by Harmes and Hibberd obviously.

Wanna hear something funni. 

Eddie spaghetti said the umps were good today. 

WTF

What game was he watching. 

Dumb arz 

The umps did everything to help Whoreform - even break the rules of the game, blatantly - all the way to the half-time break. And, it showed.

Seriously, they were bad

The Roughead holding the ball and the non 50m were blatantly wrong and any idiot could see that

They've had an awful year so far

Totally agree!

On the topic of small forwards, I like what Garlett was doing today. He doesn't have much to show for it, but he got himself into good positions, and generally looked dangerous. 

HARMESY BOG 31 poss 5 tackles 6 marks 1 vital goal ...Marty Hore is a BEAUTY!   Jay Lockhart You are made for this game!

Harmesy two 50 mrts against you but you didn't falter.  You are a true star.

So wrapt with that win. Should’ve gone to the game in hindsight...

Can anyone please explain that second 50m against Harmes? I saw no player run past the Hawks player at all. They didn’t show a replay either.

Stats don't count the 2 contests he should've won but didn't even make the contest in the last quarter, resulting in 2 of the goals that Hawthorn kicked to almost pinch it

Am away interstate so watching on tv and Fox Footy showed it in replay analysis

I don't want to snipe either,  but Omac almost lost us the game

Agreed. Jeffry didn’t have big stats, but he created a load of opportunities and was directly responsible for 4 of our goals from his pressure. People can continue to hate him on, and he’s not perfect (see shot at goal instead of passing to TMac), but he’s comfortably the best small forward on our list and one of the Vestberg in the league when he’s in form. His crumbing and pressure today were exactly what we’ve been missing up forward all year.

Ask a Richmond supporter

What really pisses me off is this magical protected zone whose limit seems to vary with the whim of the umpire. Blatant similar ones not paid, blatant worse ones under the old rules (which still apply) ditto.    Since the umpires are guessing already, why not have them guess whether the player running past is likely to interfere with the player with the ball.  If not, no 50m.  Almost every one of these 'in the protected zone' penalties would require the infringing player to tear muscles to be able to change direction to interfere with the player with the ball.

Hawthorn lost to Harmes. 

Game was a mess, Harmes stood out like dogs balls. 

A win is a win but my heart cannot take 3 hours of rubbish and a nail biting finish. 

Some excellent efforts from Frost. 

And the umpires, probably 4 clear holding balls not paid against Hawthorn and a couple of iffy ones. All when we had momentum too.

  • 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.
