    That free and 50 to Crisp was a disgrace

    What do you mean? Disgraceful by Ellis or the call by the umpire?

    Damn shame.

    Thought the Suns were the better team tonight, but just couldn’t capitalize.

    I thought the Pies were the most likely to drop out, but that’s gone now. GC really could have won this with a bit more composure. That Holman play on in the goal square to put them in front right on 3 quarter time summed it up.

    Umpires sure followed Gil's and Eddie's orders in the last quarter.

    Hey watch out for the Suns in years to come. ??
    Still over exaggerating their talent imo 

    That 'superstar' Rankine is just a Kent Kingsley in disguise too

    Geez the Suns are a frustrating team to watch. They could have easily won that if they had more composure. A lot of dumb players too.

    Holman again you [censored]

    I'd love to check his bank statement after tonight's performance.

    It would read something like this 

    Miscellaneous payment  CR;  $50,000

    Agree. Played a good first game. So over hyped. Then done zero since. Frustrating type who loves a trick shot but no pressure or hard running !!!

    Harbrow and Holman right at the top of this list.

    Well that was disappointing.

    But not nearly as disappointing as us losing to Sydney.

    Complain all you want about Holman, Harbrow, Swallow, Cox or the umpires, but it all shouldn't matter.

    18 frees to 8 in Mudpies’ favour.  Similar disposal numbers.

    That small crowd managed to influence them.

    There were some inexcusable errors by the umpires, none of whom should get a final.

    ( but Margetts will, in Perth, and help his boys over the line.)

    Think his point was more that if we didn’t [censored] up repeatedly losing to bottom teams then none of these results would be relevant.

    We’ve done this to ourselves.

    100%

    I think it's fine for us to hope for results to fall our way (and of course seeing the filth miss is just an absolute bonus) but at the end of the day our club blew it with the opportunities laid out in front.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • 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.
