Brave by sparrow 

He was quieter that term, but I like what I've seen.  Brave, has some zip, neat user of the footy.  He has a future.

Free kick count now 23-11

Looking forward to razor ray getting on radio and saying the [censored] count should have been 28 - 5

    These two teams won’t be contesting anything other than spoons anytime soon.

    The umpiring is appalling.

    But we're still our own worst enemies.

    The ball was largely in our forward half that quarter but we kicked 1.3.

    Kudos to Oliver for improving his game from last week. Bursting from stoppages, breaking free from tackles, it's been a really important step in the right direction.

    Lever and May have been huge.

    So many passengers though.

    This is a joke and not a word from the commentary. Eddie would have popped a vein if this was against Collingwood. 

    Their not interested.

    I’ve never seen a game with so many stupid soft free kicks given while missing the absolute obvious ones. It’s extraordinary.

    Yeah but they go to the crows every time.

    We need a royal commission into umpiring at Melbourne games. FMD. 

    also, am i the only one that finds that whole commentating team really annoying and frankly, obviously biased.

    May and Lever really shone in that quarter. Gus also has lifted. Melksham conspicuous by his absence - again. Oliver and Viney very good.

    This umpiring is terrible.  Funnier thing is that Melbourne has been worse

    This game is mind blowingly horrible. Just. Horrible. 

    Goodwin is not the future and neither are some of our players. This is meant to be a response game, its horrendous. Blame umpires all you like but we putrid.

    Wo's going to stand up and wi us the game

    The crows players literally get a free anytime we lay a tackle. They just throw their head back at the bottom of a pack and the umps fall for it every time. 

    They will get over 30 free kicks tonight... Pretty much the same amount of free kicks for two teams combined for an entire match.

    High tackle? For what!??

    What is the High tackle rule? Is it contact above the ankles? This is doing my head in. That must about 6 high tackle frees to the Crows so far and none of them were dangerously head high in any way. Then we have had numerous in the backs that were nothing of the sort.

     Add all the ones we’re not getting. Worst I’ve seen in a long time and I am an expert at complaining about umpires.

    Well it’s going to need a 4 quarter performance.      But we are not playing too bad.  Just kept it up.   Hope they do not run out of puff. !!

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
