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”)

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

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

Gawn had 16 (from 56, so 28.6%)

English had 3 from 14 (21.4%).

Jackson 3, McDonald 2.

Thanks mate!

Where'd you find them btw?

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.

Agree with most but not with Viney or Hunt both tried extremely hard and and we’re in our best.

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Petracca - Clangers superseded brilliance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...

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

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?

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
