But it was under constant pressure on the ball carrier. Imagine if MFC could apply that sort of pressure across the whole ground, pressure not only on the ball carrier but on all his options up the gr

Tiges smashed the Cats, scoring an amazing 7 goals. In some quarters they slammed on 2 goals. What has happened to our game?

Suns should give it a shake at least in the first half

Let's see if there are any colli-wobbles

My MFCSS has settled in - if Suns win I wont get excited as Port have nothing to play for next week so Pies should win

What was that Free to Grundy?  Most of their set shots on goal have come from free kicks or chains from frees.  The AFL want them in the finals at almost any cost no doubt.

what about the blatent HTB not paid?!?  even the commentators couldn't believe it

Free kicks 7-3. I'm sure it will continue to expand in collingwoods favour until the last quarter to even it up

Another free kick, another goal to the pies

but the ones they aren’t paying are unbelievable. Pendlebury just dropped it in a tackle. FMD

Two more HTBs...incorrect disposal.  One definitely had prior in the middle.

What is the point of having tackles if you are not going to reward perfect tackles where the opponent incorrectly disposes the ball?

This is NOT football being played to the rules as they were intended.

The AFL really have ruined the game as we once knew it.

A little pet peeve of mine with the game of AFL, when the whistle gets blown for a free kick all the players stop and when it happens a player from the team that wins the free kick bursts away giving that team an insanely huge advantage. Yes if that player then goes onto kick it then it's 50m penalty but by stopping the play with the whistle you stop all momentum or ability for the defensive team to do their jobs because their focus is who's go the free kick.

It's something I like in Rugby union where instead of calling or whistling the free kick they put their arms out to acknowledge the action and let the play continue.

Blatant , clear as day holing the ball.

How the hell do they not see them??

Or is it a conscious decision not to pay them??

The filth have got this ... sadly.

When Greenwood (aka Matthew Newton) gets the ball, does he ever not turn it over?

True. They also have a mortgage on HTB decisions.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
