Bar the last ten minutes I think that’s the best we have played all year. Centre square clearances became an issue that needs to be addressed or we will struggle to hang on. Rivers has been terrific, I really hope dropped marks don’t cost us the game.

I think you’re being pretty generous suggesting that five dropped marks is a good thing.

Finals are won by ruthless teams who go at 100 for the whole game. 10-15 minutes of dropping off can and has cost teams finals and premierships. 
Gotta get better at choking up oppositions. 
But I acknowledge the Dogs are very good at Marvel and they are one of the few sides who can punish you severely in the space of minutes. 

Yep, that’s exactly it Jaded. Need to frustrate this half.


Good half . My Worst fear was being blown away early, my second worst is leading by 5 goals and letting it slip. Just have that feeling dogs have a lot of improvement in them and we can’t put sides away.

-talls dropping marks they should take 

- picket needs to stay low and and go hard at the ball he’s falling over too much 

- the umpiring grinds my gears

Both have been terrible calls, the last one in particular, Chamberlin is a xxxx.

Yes if call those you have to call the doggies wild shot at goal that went out of bounds surely that quarter. Yes he was going for goal but got it wrong just as we were looking for someone but got it wrong. 

Max gets in everyone’s way when he’s going up for marks 

 

Wasn't that a great half from Rivers!  Common boys.  Max, LJ, Weid, Melk & Hunt really need to lift here to win this.  Cant carry that many on a downer against this mob


Pickett held and taken high ... play on FFS

    No way we will run away with this. the dogs are a seriously good team. I still reckon it will be less than a kick in it in the end.

    3 plays and 3 free kicks not payed. Unbelievably bad umpiring.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
