Sometimes I think MFC has shares in a medical practice specialising in thoracic surgery and depression. 
 

Well my doctor is a melbourne member and said we spend a $$$$ on depression pills?

    I'll obviously take the word of some on here over that, so going by someone like titan, whose view on a game I trust, he gave us nothing. 

    Not quite true. I generally agree with @titan_uranus on Smith in that he's not a footballer, but he actually made a number of good spoils and rebounded off his man a number of times in the first three quarters. I wouldn't have him in my team, but he probably played his best defensive game ever today.

    Put the cue stick in the rack at 3rd qtr time and pulled it back out for the last 5 mins.

    Thanks again to the AFL for making us play 15 games straight without a bye and scheduling 2 games cramned in Cairns in abhorrent conditions.

    Wouldn't happen to a Geelong, Collingwood, Carlton, Richmond would it. 

    Phark you'se where it hurts.

    Mitch brown 20 disposals and 13 marks..  this is the guy who was out of the side all season when we have been crying out for a big forward.

    Our selection committee is pure rubbish.

    It could be worse. You could be Essendon watching a player they delisted play like that against them.

    Melksham nowhere. What is his role? What happened since 2018?? Very lazy

    Really needs to be addressed Im afraid.

    To think the bloke was given a captains birth in one game.

    Had more chances than Tmac.

    Don't leave out his perfect hand pass to the Essendon player in that last quarter.

    We need a Power Forward desperately.

    As many problems as Hogan had he was a Powerhouse in the forward line who took all the pressure off by crashing packs and taking clunk marks.

    Eddie McGuire has to be the worst commentator of all time.

    His job is to call the play.

    Instead we get a combination of cheering for the underdog, umpire bashing, expert analysis, lame Collingwood references, and snide remarks to an entire supporter base. Every time he's on.

    He can [censored] right off.

    You can add in self congratulation

    If Freo get up I hope we bring Jackson in to provide some X-factor and a foil for Weideman up forward.

    It'd be great too to see May play his first ever final.

    Our second tier players  in Hunt, ANB, Brown, and the youngy's in Rivers and Kossi  kept us in it.

    Petrac, Clarry, , Langdon and Gawn   stood up as usual.  However  Lever had a great game IMO he steadied the ship all day.  Held the backline together while May was his usual best defending stoutly.

    That really was The Salem that we all loved.

    Made a big difference.

    I think he and Jetta not like they used to be has been a big difference since 2018.

    Them and Hogan, Tmac and Garlett  scoring a bag load of goals.

    On the positive we now have AA  May, Langdon, young and young Rivers.

    Fix Frittas kicking and pick up a proven 40 plus goaler and we could be in business next season.

    As I said, I wouldn't have him in my team, but I don't think it's fair to say he didn't do his job in the first three quarters. For the most part, he did.

    If we make finals Weideman should be dropped for LJ.

    so SAY we qualify and play away to Weagles

    Smith stays in due to their height unless we role the ball on Hore?

    vandenberg makes way for Harmes who trains the house down?

    ANB makes way for the Jones fairytail?

    Melky did not do enough to keep out Jackson to match their aerial power?

    theyre the calls we have to make

    It was a decent win in a must-win game.  Essendon have talent and they've gone 12-10 the last 3 years.  Notable that we've gone 6-4 since the compressed fixture while they've gone 1-1-8.  They were going to get momentum at some stage and to play the all out attack they needed gave us opportunities out the back which we took.  We won 68-49.

    • 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.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • 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.
