As much as I despise Essendon they have been shafted badly by the umpires.

Agreed on both counts. Pains me to admit it but they got reamed.

That was my first look at the scum this season. They won’t be an easy 4 points.

    So we will have another week of sydney being put on a pedastool by the media. Them and Carlton are the worst offenders.

    So sad to see the bombers lose by 3 points and get shafted by the umps.

    IT IS SO SWEET!!

    Case in point. 

     

    It does not get any more obvious and all 3 umps would have seen it clearly and decided to ignore the rule book. Expecting a response from the AFL on that one.

    Bloody average game, poor umpiring but great result. 

    Not a great result really, if we are a serious threat and the jury is out, we want the top sides losing.

    Easy to forget we are watching an all-time great in Buddy Franklin. Will kick a 1000 goals in an era when it should not be possible. And to add to that, he seems like a nice, down to earth guy 

    how he never won a Brownlow is a disgrace. Best player of the past 20 years imo

    Result suits us.  Bombers always as losers is good.  Swans are March premiers.  Swans will be media darlings this week and we can just go about our business of banking another 4 points...

    hear what you are saying but if we are worrying about Sydney's results in our potential tilt, then we are in trouble.  We just keep winning and the ladder looks after itself

    the ladder has never been Melbourne's friend.

    In almost every year that we have made finals we have relied on results of other games to get us just that little higher

    It's part of the MFC curse

    Looks like Essendon aren’t going to be as bad as people thought they might be, it’s the best part of this time of year because you’re still finding out how good/bad a team really is. Case in point is us where we have won the first 3 but we’re still really waiting to see where we sit in the actual rankings. 

    Credit to Sydney for managing to rebuild so quickly without having too long down the bottom. I know there’s a degree of enjoyment with seeing certain teams get shafted by the umps, but ultimately you just want a level contest that is purely decided on which team is better on the day/night.

    To be honest though, I didn't think the contest tonight was all that fair

    That makes no sense. A serious threat beats good teams. If we need others to lose to fall in, we’re no threat at all.

    • 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.
