Fisher needs to be thrown out as an umpire. What a joke of an umpire. They say those who can’t do teach. Well this [censored] can’t play or umpire.

    Midfield getting destroyed 

    For what’s supposed to be our greatest strength this happens way too often 

     

    Maggots doing what Gil has told them.

    Yeah that's a fair assessment for this term.

    However, our back line has kept us in it and we can absolutely get better from here.

    Yeah the backs are doing a decent job. Aside from the odd free kick given away they've been solid.

    Pretty tough term for us.  I don't think we played badly, just that the Lions were on fire through the middle of the ground.  I don't think they could have played better in the conditions.

    However, our back line has kept us in the game, and I really don't think we're out of it by any stretch.  We are a couple of goals down and I think we can get better from here.  Plenty can lift and are capable of lifting.

    Umps are absolutely murdering us though, which is hard to stomach, and Brisbane seemed to be reveling in it which is annoying.

    That zorko clap is so infuriating, hopefully may flattens that [censored].

    Umpiring pretty soft gifting a few goals but we got flogged that QTR lucky to still be in it.

    Gawn gets kneed in the back of the head by a show off going for mark of the year but gets nothing. Then Brisbane gets too high for what. They didn't even want to show it. Biased bull#%@#

    Mids need to step up but we are getting sucked into the contest and beaten on the outside. I know I’m one eyed but these umpires are killing the game. 

    Am i the only person In this world that believes gus isn't afl standard this year?? Surely he needs to be dropped

    the way that they are umpiring/not umpiring the holding the ball is THE joke of the season!

    The umpiring is undoubtedly one of the reasons we're behind - they're holding us at stoppages, they're dropping it out of tackles, and they're getting rewarded for HTB when we aren't.

    The crowd is heavily in their favour which doesn't help on that front (some sort of "home" game this is, thanks AFL).

    But this is really only a small part of it. Our mids are way off the pace compared to last week. We're losing CPs and clearances despite Max being on top in the hit outs.

    We're reverting to some old habits with the ball, too. Kicks are missing targets, and under their midfield's pressure we're starting to play hot potato with the ball.

    Having said all that, we've weathered a big Brisbane storm in that quarter and we're only 14 points behind. It's not an insurmountable deficit if we can lift around the stoppages.

    Worst umpiring I've seen all year.

    Why the [censored] did Robinson get a free kick?

    The umps are a [censored] disgraceful. 
     

    Bloody yellow maggots. 

    Umpire is having a big game.Shut up and [censored] off you [censored] of man.


    If our midfield doesn’t pull the finger out we will get smashed. Lucky they missed so many this quarter or it would be game over. 
    Langdon has had what, one touch? Jones is giving us nothing sadly. Time to make some changes. 

    more passengers than the Indian Pacific.....being smashed all over the park - Healey is correct spot on.

    I agree, I’m not a umpire basher but we are getting killed by them. 
    Max gets knocked down in the marking contest and then he doesn’t get the chance to nominate for the ruck.  Some common sense wouldn’t go astray. 
    We are still in the game just need to get 1st hands on the ball

    That was a valid marking attempt. Rayner clearly got hands to the ball.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
