    The best thing a Melbourne supporter can do now is import covid (Or another communicable disease) to Perth so we can play WC in Geelong. They have been smacked twice there this year

    LOL Ump paid a free against Roughead, who immediately starts to remonstrate asking the ump all the whys and wherefores. Fan in the front row screams out to the ump, “ANSWER HIM!” Certainly not what an ump would expect to hear. ?

    What’s the bet that fan is a schoolteacher or at the very least a dad?

    Most polite Collingwood fan I’ve ever heard. ?

    Seriously the Doggies are a good outfit. Their forward connection and ball use is just something to marvel at. 
     

    And they have forwards that can actually kick straight.

    Ump: "Here's your answer. Jordan, under law 22.2.2 (k), I am reporting you for disputing an umpire's decision."

    We should have given BB back to Norf....at least that way he could help them beat Doggies and keep us up the ladder.

    Don't care what people say on here regarding our ladder position, but the Western Bulldogs are CLEARLY the best team in the comp.

    They are ahead on us so many levels. Their midfield to forward connection is light years ahead of us and they have forwards who actually impact and kick goals. 

    Their mids just do their role so simple. None of this Hollywood crap that Petracca, Oliver or Harmes have dished out the past couple of weeks. 

    Their midfield depth is scary.

    A well drilled and coached outfit. Individually though they are not any better so I have some hope that we can build to that but agree they are the best in the comp.

    Sure.

    Doesn't mean we can't beat them.

    We already have.

    This almost becomes irrelevant when we lose to sides like Adelaide, Collingwood and GWS.

    They're top team because they get it done against these teams when we simply don't.

    This is very strange logic Dazzle.

    Last year Richmond lost to Hawthorn and Sydney. Does that devalue their premiership?

    Its about putting together the best body of work you can to give yourself the best opportunity in September.

    We beat grand finalists in Adelaide on their home deck in 2017 and also beat eventual premiers in West Coast back in 2018. 

    We are one loss from dropping from top 4 next week. The fact we've put ourselves in that position by dropping games to bottom 8 side just shows that we still cannot be trusted once again, and that we are still mentally fragile.

    There are significant improvement needed over the next coming weeks because right now our destiny is in our hands if we are to seriously contend 

    History will tell you that you'll never win a flag from outside the 4. Doggies did it in a once in a million back in 2016, but it's a rarity.

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
