Premiership contenders don't lose to teams like Adelaide.    We might make a prelim but we wont win the flag.

The  Dogs and Lions will beat us the next two weeks.

 

Now is not the time for MFCSS fatalism

We'll re-group and go again.

Robbed!!!

 

Deliberate out of bounds,10 seconds to go

 

Umpire [censored] Himself!!!

From the umpires, many obvious and a few criticals as far as the 'crowd pleasers' were concerned. Kept the Crows in the game. Cost us dearly all through the game. Oliver, Tracca and Langdon superb. Harmes much better, as well. Missed Salem's cleaning-up when the ball came to the ground. Jackson is a gun and plays better each week. Great exhibition in the ruck and around the ground tonight. 

 

Kinda conflicted. Know it was a loss we had to had, but would much rather it have been against a top team like Bulldogs, than a dud team like Adelaide.  I hope this is a serious wake up call to not get too confident. Maybe they’ll take the next game more seriously. I’m worried that we had a pretty good team even though Salem wasn’t playing.

Sad ?

Just to many passengers today, the forward line was terrible.  We just panicked fumbled and we're out worked.

 


Not too fussed if Sam W leaves our club. He played with little intensity today when we really needed him to contribute.

I guess they had to role the dice but sadly Bbb would have been the better option.

Melksham is not a goid pkayer either.

Crows defence was excellent tonight.

I argued our middield srocjs were low with Jack V out but I got howled down.

Its always two weeks out with Viney which always turns into six.

Hunt is back to his old self. Tommy had a shocker and Jwtta isnt up to it anymore.

We looked tired as well.

It was always going to be tough but made worst by the shocking non decisuons at the end.

Take a bow umps you won a game for the crows or at keast caused a draw.

So unprofessional. Its exactly what was discussed last week in umpires being swayed by home crowds.

Spineless boofheads.

 

 

 

There is no integrity in the AFL. For those umps to not pay those 2 frees near the end really makes you question the professionalism of this competition. If that was a final.. It would be catastrophic. It makes it really hard to unconditionally love our game. 

I hope the ladder position of the crows isn't dwelled on... 16th or not, they played a great brand on the day. It's just unfortunate they did it against us (noting full well they would have pumped themselves up to "take it the top of the ladder Dees")

Face it, relying on a free kick in the last seconds to beat a bottom side is not good enough.

Fact is that was right on front of the umpire and he squibbed the decision. Bet if it had of happened down the other end the result would have been different

 

BTW the umps are ducking blind. Last quarter 2 decisions costs us big time. barstards. 

We lost because too many went against exactly what we've brought all year - selflessness and sacrificing your game for the good of the team.

Too many trying to be the hero. Too many trying to get the easy kick. Fritta's non-goal just summed up a [censored] day at the office.


Salem sorely missed.  In for Jetta next week.  BBB in for Weids.  Viney in for JJ.

Bombing it into fwd 50 didn't let TMac, BF and Weids to get into the game at all.

Well played Adelaide.  Hungrier when it counted.  

Umpiring late in the game was deplorable.

Also just in advance, can we also have a moratorium on being told to ‘lighten up’ or ‘we’re 9-1 you’d think someone died round here’ or any other cool thing that some freedom fighter wants to say? Most of us will see the light eventually but give us 1 hr at least.

Thank you! I couldn’t agree more. I’m literally gutted. So your suggestion is a great one. But personally I’m gonna need a little more than an hour. ?

I wish I could be angry. Being disappointed is so much harder.

Yes, but you're not addressing what I said

Our connection to the forward line is pretty bad still and also impacts our ability to maintain pressure once the ball hits the deck. Although I think our effort level was poor for 60% of the game which compounded our poor delivery.

A few blokes won’t enjoy the loss review during the week.


Some reasons we lost: 

Gawn dropping regulation marks and palming it into open goals 

May getting done over by a big eared inbred bogan

Trac and Harmes playing like millionaires 

Jetta is done.

Hunt is only good when Salem is covering his [censored]. 

Weideman and Fritsch actual liabilities 

JJ nervous with ball in hand 

Poor defensive effort all over the ground in the first half. Lazy, unaccountable football allowing Adelaide to run down the corridor unaccounted and kick easy goals from clearances 

Turnovers. Cannot hit the side of a barn. 
 

 

Reasons why we didn’t lose by more:

Oliver 
Lever 
Langdon
Jackson in the ruck

Umpiring was appalling 

Blatant HtB

Blatant deliberate 

Neither paid due to noise of affirmation 

...you can get away with Htb but not the deliberate.

Simply because if that wasnt deliberate then there never has been. Ever.

open and shut case.

Don't forget Jordon. Everytime he touched it he turned it over.

Our skills remain poor

The one thing Goodwin hasn't managed to change

Bulldust

Lots of frustrating cameos tonight.

If only Jackson could mark. He gets to so many contests, and his hands are first to the ball. But he just can't clunk them...yet.

Jordon's kicking is becoming a real worry. For a bloke who is playing so well he consistently produces howlers.

Fritsch and his kicking... 

Max in many dumb moments.

And our basic skills - marking, handballing, kicking, and general ball handling was torturous to watch.

But our main problem  is our midfield. The number of times they waltzed through the corridor in numbers, especially with one running ahead of the play, was infuriating.

  • 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.

    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.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
