Viney talking to the umpires. Stop it. It’s not helping your cause. 

It would be frustrating. They have been very inconsistent.

    Good to turn it around there but we had two turnover goals (Viney & Sparrow). 
     

    Our pressure game is on - but so is GC. The team that maintains that will win the game. We switched off after Q1 against the Hawks-- this game is looking very similar to that so far. 

    Maggots at it again short kicks illegal disposal and Viney's genuine effort to get rid of it, and the maggot paid against him.They are a disgrace to fair play worldwide.

    Need to work out why we give away so many frees, i dont believe every umpire hates us, we need to change

    Absolutely.

    You can’t just 100% blame the umpires when they’re just doing their job.

    Second to the ball too often.

    Good quarter, still think we are lairising too much with ball in hand.

    Trac needs to take the first option and get others involved

    Nice to play on a dry/fast deck for once

     

    So far, so good.

    Delivery into forward is more intelligent this week compared to other weeks. We aren’t always getting clean looks, but we are taking the percentage options more. If it’s not going to a one on one, it’s going to a genuine contest at least.

    We are being sucked up to clearances a bit much for mine though.

    Same here. Just close th app and restart it helps with me some times if it’s playing up.

    What is wrong with Kayo?

    It's owned by a moribund [censored]?

    Bowey looks good.

    Love how we have looked to play the Brayshaw wing instead of always the Langdon wing. 
    hunts disposal is a massive liability. 
    Viney must take first option.

    Jackson and Brown look good


    How the hell did that happen? Lucky play hasn’t started. Hot mess. 

    Oliver set shot on an angle....hmmmmm

     

    Whoa.

    Well if Olivers kicking goals from a set shot we are a lock...no ifs and or buts.

    I like the look of Bowey. Showed composure and used the ball well. Exactly the type of player we need.

     

    Oliver kicked a set shot.

    Dees by 100.

    • 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.
