Great goal to the yellow guys,

some ...yellow/red/black

I can only distinguish Red& baby blue and the other guys with a bit of yellow.

We're in trouble!

Unless... the weapon is released to play his natural game

Mids keep it going forward

Free space/block/ruck it to ground/ create space and allow Harvey do his stuff

I'm most annoyed about the lack of 50 when we finally got a holding the ball free kick and Talia just drops the ball to the ground.

That was 50 every time. It’s pure cheating.

    I thought we had been stiff from the umpires to date....

    This game is setting a whole new bench mark, this is just [censored].

    Playing for the spoon here boys. Deplorable how bad this team is. Salem so undisciplined and just plain crap.


    Remember how we talk about how we're this 'competitive beast' team with too many inside mids?

    We're getting done in clearances by the worst clearance team in the league.

    Would it hurt for one of our players to stay on the outside of the contest instead of all running for the ball like it’s under 10’s? Also, [censored] the umpires.

    How ANB gets a game I’ll never know. 

    Who would you bring in Jaded when a small fwd goes out?


    Is it still a thing where the captain can approach the umpires and stay what TF?

    Bennell a waste of space, finished as a footballer lucky no draft picks involved.


    In my 100% honest opinion I'd say we are a 10th place side. A perfectly average team. Nothing more, nothing less.

    Dear Glen Bartlett,

    If you want to do something to show this club is serious ask the AFL publicly to explain the free kick differential, and while you are at it ask them to explain the horrifically biased and one sided commentary we have to sit through as supporters.

    Enough is enough. Collingwood wouldn’t accept it, and why should we?

    Regards

    Every [censored] Melbourne Supporter
     

    Agree re the umpires. However we have done nothing to get any favourable commentary. Notwithstanding, McGuire and Brererton are vacuous nonentities.

    What a pathetic display of footy. 

    Our kicking in general, bar the odd one here and there (mostly to players 20 meters in the clear but even then it's a coin flip) is bloody awful.

    Even senior players have no ability to finesse and just take a little power off, & pull a kick to a leading player.  It's horrid.  It's been a problem at this club for 50 years!

    It looks that way, which means Josh Mahoney needs to go.

    I'd bring in any bloke off the street.

    He's legit the worst footballer that's ever pulled on this jumper.

    And Derwit has just explained why the sling tackle has become so 'standard'. The umpires paying ridiculous holding the ball frees has meant the ball carrier is desperate to get boot to ball when their arm is held, they lose control of their body. The tackler is desperate to prevent them from disposing of the ball and that is the best way to do it.

    Gil, you have [censored] this sport and put players lives at risk. I hope you get your ars sued to kingdom come.

    • 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.
