Foxtel mate. But pretty sure the AFL website has replays you can watch or try the channel 7 app?

AFL website works perfectly, especially as l watch it through my APPLE TV device using my ipad. Great trick!

    One bad mistake. The goal to English just before half time, only occurred  because, first, Petty was blocked, and then Gawn was . Quite obviously really!

    Those 'blocks' were very obvious yet not picked up by the snot goblins in the contest. Was it a case of score-evening by the umpires? (Yet again.)

    Courtesy of Stephen Anderson off FB... the bias against the Demons continues.  Razor or no Razor.  T-Mac shirt fronted no eyes for the ball no free...

    Then May ... inflicts a perfect spoil.  Zero chopping zero holding and be unlucky to get called in basketball but wait... somehow it was "Arm interference".  There is vision of this if you scroll down in the comments section of the linked video above

    What about Cordy mouthing off at him after obviously getting him high.

    Fritsch just went back, curled the goal around, and got on with it.

    That should have been 50m, just get back and stand on the mark you muppet.

    Good to see Weid come in to help him, but how about Razor just telling Weid to walk away and saying nothing about the bloke who kept bumping someone while he was trying to get up. 

    Exactly. Interference with a possible injured player is reportable and the ump should have been in his face getting him away from fritta.

    yeah i saw that too. my first instinct is i wanted weid to be a bit stronger. it made me miss viney tbh. one of these days, and it may well be against the lions, a side is going to try physically intimidate us ..and i don’t mean at or around the ball. weid, jackson, tmac, lever are all wonderful players but they wouldn’t strike physical fear into a mouse. 

    Tbh I loved what Weid did, blocked him, told him to [censored] off but did it without any chance of a reversal being paid. Viney probably clobbers him and Razor reverses the free.

    So if you watched the Sunday Footy Show there was a 2 minute snippet of how the Demons go from attack to defence so well which confused and mucked the Doggies on Friday night.

    Every other match was covered with a full review & highlights package, including votes , except ours.

    This included extensive coverage of what was, apparently, the greatest win in recent history by Essendrug over the Eagles with player interview and similar coverage of the Cats win over the Pies with Issac Smith interviewed.

    Apparently our win/top of the table block buster match was an aberration that only warranted a 2 minute analysis from Browny at the start.

    This conspiracy theory is getting tiresome. And as for Razor Ray, if anything, he has treated us very well over the past couple of seasons.

    Yep - and I watched it all to see them cover the dees. Waste of a couple of hours - could have watched the game again

    You think there's a bias against us?  Every team has supporters that like to think that. 

    There's an old saying that given a choice between a conspiracy and a stuff-up, always go for the stuff-up (umpiring error in this particular case).

    Or, as Hanlon's Razor would have it, "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity".

    This notion of the umpires or the AFL being biased against us is as nonsensical as the supposed curse afflicting us and is a symptom of a pathetic, self-pitying victim mentality.

    We are better than that, as evidenced by Goodwin's refusal to blame the umpiring at the end of the Crows game.

    And the stats would say that we do ok relative to other clubs (this was at Round 8)...

    You are both watching different games to me then  fellas.  There's alot of hate out there for the Demons and it ripples through the AFL community like a cancer. 

    If you want to hide under a blanket that's your choice.  Last week's two non-decisions toward the end effectively cost us the match.  But let's pretend it never happened.  All will be well if we just close our eyes and pray!

    In which case, as we have a differential of +15, Richmond must be absolutely despised, with a differential of -50!

    Genuinely curious... I just assumed there was apathy...

    What's the hate about Rusty?

    How is it evidenced throughout the AFL community?

    Maybe so, but the point I was making is that the umpires stuffed up and it's not a symptom of some giant conspiracy or bias against MFC.  Stop being a sook.

    Just one example EO.  That's not apathy that's a deliberate decision by the producers/those running the show.

    The last one wasn't a stuff up...the umpire in question admitted the free kick was there and he decided not to pay it.

    A link to the quote from said umpire would be nice... are you sure he wasn’t saying that upon watching a replay of the incident, that the free probably was there?

    It’s funny you say that. I’m positive a read a poster (can’t remember who it was) but before the Adelaide game they wouldnt be surprised if Adelaide won, if it meant that we’d beat the bulldogs the week after, or something along those lines. I thought at the time, yeah I’d have to agree. Who was that?

    It might have been me who wrote that.

    I said I’d take a loss to Adelaide if it meant we’d beat the Dogs. I certainly didn’t expect to lose to Adelaide though.

    The conspiracy theory argument is your concoction DS.

    I'm just saying the hate/loathing is there and there's alot if it about.  That it manifests in various forms, including bias by some umpires, commentators (eg BT) etc along the way

    No one other than yourself is claiming it's a conspiracy where everyone is in on the act.

    Example of your OOT accusation...I did not say the whole of Chanel 9... i referred to one football show.

    The Friday night match rarely gets much of a mention. No matter who played in it. I guess they figure it's had a whole day of coverage already

    He swapped a high 5 with Gus in 2018! after NOT paying a clear deliberate out of bounds by Gus. In front of members stand too.

    • 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.
