    Umps. free kicks count 11-23 to favour the Dogs 
     In 3 words 

    Were the difference  

    Totally fuc&&)$&(n inconsistent 

    Favoured The Dogs

    Throwing is illegal 

    Absolutely killed us 

    Crucified the Dees 

    finally … 

    Speak up Goodwin  (just say “thought we were a bit stiff on the night and have to review the rule book”)

    Be prepared to potentially take that back one the hit out to advantage stats are out.

    Ok but totally biased against Viney.  Hit up Brown for a goal. Hit up Kozzy for a goal.  Kicked super goal in the third. 
    Nine tackles. At the contest.  
    3 words. 
    “Very good game”.

    Oliver..... sensational

    Gawn had 16 (from 56, so 28.6%)

    English had 3 from 14 (21.4%).

    Jackson 3, McDonald 2.

    Going on about umpiring like Essendon fans ignores the fact that we still should have run over the top of them but froze and fell to bits against a side one player down on the bench.

    Gawn - Dominated hitouts department

    Pickett - Costly early miss

    Brown - Costly 2 behinds (and 1 on the full)

    Fritsch - Above the knee

    Viney - Better than r18

    Petracca - Clangers superseded brilliance

    McDonald - Lose more weight? (lol)

    Oliver - Possible 2 votes

    Hunt - 611 metres gained!

    Neal-Bullen - Stop getting smothered

    May - Some dumb FA's

    Salem - Losing his AA 

    Harmes - Didn't notice him

    Jackson - Rising star slider

    Lever - Our best defender

    Spargo - Pressuring has declined

    Brayshaw - Just a game

    Hibberd - Not our worst

    Langdon - Season low numbers

    Jordon - costly dropped mark

    Rivers - rookie soldiering on

    Petty - always seems unlucky

    Umpiring: A please explain

    Disagree with many

    trac was very good

    petty and Rivers solid

    hunt was good

    Browns first half was poor but he did show signs in the second. But the damage was done by then

    There’s no way the game has passed Viney, proved again what he will do for the club, was in and under all night.

    As I said during the week, the umpires will destroy our game chances, once again, through incorrect use of the whistle (in any way that they 'can get away with'). The attempt is made in every game the MFC plays.

    We were In it all night. Midfield matched the dogs, Gawn dominant. 

    We were wasteful in attack, again, they were not. 

    We missed several gettable shots, they did not.

    We failed to take our difficult chances, they did not. 

    We got a rough ride from the umpires, they did not. 

    Game over...

    What's most frustrating is not losing a game like that it's burning points against the crows, giants, pies and Hawks

    Agree - had our chances, can';t kick straight.  BBB first two "attempts" were actually pathetic.

    It is inconceivable that WBD could break the rules only 11 times in 350 contests.

    It really does feel like a syndicated, 'old boys' conspiratory against the Dees, that many amongst us cannot for some reason accept or acknowledge. It has pressed us, for years; it is still pressing us after we have - as a footy club - re-organised and re-structured against the odds and expectations of 'the rest of them'. We live in hope, as a consequence. Will our Board ever do something about it? Nearly all of the consequences of last night's footy match against the Doggies were in the hands of the umpires and were so delivered across the game without sanction, excepting of course those few that were too blatant to be ignored. However, the power of the whistle applied and re-applied to quell the eveness of the game that would lead to a different end result.

    Player A,B,C,D, etc:   didn't handle conditions.

    Lots of dumb kicks

    Kicking straight into an opponent who earned a 'smother' stat without even waving their arms around - when does that get fun?

    • 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.
