Pie getting thumped is always nice. If they can beat the Eagles in this form maybe we’re a chance tomorrow.

    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...

    If North win... we are seriously bad

    We are. The style of play hasn’t changed this year. Good teams can change styles quickly and go

    Brad Scott and Bolton were ordinary Coaches.

    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

    The AFL and their “rules” coupled with the clown maggots who make it up as they go, are just ruining our game.

    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.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
