Watching GWS v Essendon.

Hogan is really annoying. MFC put up with his petulant behaviour for too long.

Hate both sides, but probably Essendon slighty more.

 

 

At last, some joy this weekend! Watching those whingeing cheats lose!

Just saw on the news Franklin elbowing an opponent with a wild backward swing - “may get a week if unlucky”.  
Imagine if one of ours did that - “4-6 weeks”!

Corruption reigns??

Yeah but Sydney plays the bummers next week & he always cuts them up. I don't want him to miss even though it was dumb


You beauty! Bombers [censored] the bed when 20 points up is just what I needed. No excuses this time cheats!

Essendon are very rapidly gaining us list wise....

Why didn't you just come out and say what you wanted to say, that they've "gone past us"?

Pity they ended up losing and making your argument sound even dumber.

Hopefully the Giants can hang on, I love watching Whitfield play. 

Would love more seeing him in rednblue 

what happened?.......merrett (20) and parish (15) combined for only 35 disposals. neither of them have had figures that low all year 


Going into a hub was always going to affect the Bombers. How many times can you get a vaccine shot before it starts to look suss? Obviously had to wind things back a bit.

Not quite sure where to post this - Buddy a pretty hard elbow to the (usually) sacrosanct head =1 week.

How many would, say, May or McDonald get for that?  2-3 would be my guess. 
 

But there is no corruption or even just bias in the MRO rulings, I am sure. 

Not at all shocked that Buddy got off. Appears to get a better run at it than most.

Example number 94123 of the MRP system being broken.

An elbow to the head deemed serious enough to be a reportable offence is worthy of a fine, but a perfectly executed run-down tackle results in a two week ban, whilst contesting the football has the AFL sending you directly to the Tribunal.

Utterly, completely, farcically, broken.

I’ve got to admit TA, it’s become a total lottery. 
And on a separate note, what happened to kicking in danger? It appears to no longer be called.

Why Bother to even have a MRP or Tribunal. That Franklin elbow was intensional. 
That is just corrupt 

Franklin has been given the Red Carpet ever since he had to leave Victoria

  • 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?
