Hate is a strong word and I don’t hate many things in life, but by god I hate the Essendon Football Club. No other club compares....and to think I used to think Richmond and Collingwood came close..

Nailed it. Their outs would be equivalent to ours however find a way to turn a 5 goal deficit into a 3 1/2 goal win. Also for those that bag our skippers need to have a look at what I consider th

That's why I'm not fussed with Carlton overtaking us today. If this seasons going to be bad it might as well be truly shizen. Regroup over preseason with players ready to go on day 1, with the number 2 pick and an easier draw. 

That’s the way. Choose the soft option

that’s what The MFC does so well...

At least we can take some joy from Collingwood being pummelled. That's always fun.

I was at the Richmond game today. A few things I noticed that stand out when watching sides other than us:

  1. Their forwards held marks so much more often than ours do. Whether it was across half-back when trying to clear their defensive 50, or in the forward 50 when it was congested, they had Lynch and Riewoldt (amongst others) actually clunking marks
  2. They also generally kept one or two forwards deep, generally having someone forward of the play all the time and allowing them to have someone leading up at the ball carrier
  3. With those leads and marking forwards, even when the ball wasn't marked when it hit the ground there was immediate pressure through the middle
  4. Their mids, when getting their hands on the ball, took a couple of steps from the contest before kicking

A shame we can't say the same thing about the bummers. 

But I hope Brisbane can win. I don't mind seeing them in 2nd spot.

Norf are being crucified by the umps here. I know the commentators are raving on about ill discipline but no question they're being stitched up

Lions getting an absolute armchair ride from the umps again. Free kicks now 25-14.  Was 9-8 at half time. 

Lots of marginal calls go to Lions yet the Roos have to get obvious frees only.  Dees would like that sort of treatment just in one game EVER.

Really. Two soft frees to Lions kills the game. Very soft. Unbelievable in such a contest. 

It would rip out Norfs heart.  If that to the Dees I’d be uncontrollable

I thought Maxys free against was the worst free kick of the year...

But that one against Thompson really takes the cake. Yet another green maggot ruining a great game of footy by being completely incapeable of doing their job. 

Go get [censored] AFL you're a joke of a league

Horrific umpiring to get bris the win. 

GC discarded a player like Jared Lyons now they want a pick 1 pp. Get stuffed.

    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.

    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
