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

    Big statement but close to the worst umpiring of the year Bris v North

    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: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
