Yellow ....are sorting it out for them. As always. 

Sorry but Max has turned really dumb this season with ball in hand in open field. 

He needs to get that handball off quickly or alternatively just bomb long up the line.  He is too slow to decide, too slow to execute.  Does he even remember he's 6' 8" or so?

    At least three goals turnover due directly to corrupted umpiring.

    You can see who the AFL want in the finals. 
     

    What a disgrace of an organization you are running Gil.

    Honestly if Goodwin stays on, and I hope he doesn’t, he has to come up with a way for us to win games when we aren’t dominating clearances. You can see the decline directly correlate in this quarter to GWS winning clearances. It’s an absolute joke.

    We were struggling all quarter with clearances and CPs. Our first quarter dominance disappeared.

    We defended well for the first 3/4 of that quarter but from the Lever turnover onwards we just couldn't stop them.

    Had our chances (Fritsch's late miss and ANB's infuriating failure to run closer to goal before kicking) but if we don't get back on top in the middle we won't win.

    Jetta is so unbelievably cooked.
    I really want him to stay at the club in an off field role, but his playing days are way past him. 

    Lockhart should have come in. Jetta has been cooked since last year.

    Goodwin should pull the lads out of this game. Make a stand. This happens to us too often. I'd like to see us make a protest about the umpiring and just stay in the sheds.

    Make a move after half time Goodwin you moron

    They had a shot of him on the big screen at the mini G and he had that WTF is going on look ?

    Viney trying to break 8 tackles in one play over and over. It happens every game. Its dumb football.

    Lever has cost us 2 goals with inexcusable clangers.

    And two first round draft picks. Absolutely reamed.

    I can’t stand channel 7. I hope someone else wins the next TV bid. The commentators are just embarrassing, and clearly haven’t watched much footy in 2020.

    Viney never takes the first option , he has to trust his team mates.

    He's having a bit of a shocker tonight.  Just the four touches and he's been caught twice holding the ball.  One of the main senior players who needs to lift.

    How many set shots has he missed this year?

    It’s the MFC way. Take someone who is great at something and change it. Pickett looked like a great set shot when he got to the club also but our coaching staff have obviously tinkered with the routine 

    Daisy Thomas on those Pointsbet ads is excruciatingly bad. It’s like watching a crap Year 9 drama student.

    Yep that too

    We absolutely stink when the slightest bit of pressure is put on us. Lose a few clearances and watch a lead go down the toilet.

    Yeah better than last week, still not convinced.

    He's a poor drop punt set shot. Can only do around the body 

    98% of crowd is red and blue though

     

    Good vibes

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
