There was also a little thing called WW2 in the midst of that!

To be fair, the MFC also had the most enrolled servicemen of all clubs in the league.

    They’re sitting on 10 wins for the season. They really are a bunch of soft, whiny bandwagon supporters. 

    You'd never see comments like that from Melbourne supporters if we'd won half our games *cough* 2020 *cough*

    Back when there was 6-8 teams and you could (in the early early days) have the right to challenge a GF winner to a rematch if you lost as the reigning premiere.

    There were 12 teams and we never won a premiership under the challenge rules - that changed in 1931 AFTER Collingwood's four-peat.

    10 flags in 25 years.

    If anything WW2 cost us more flags as we had the most amount of players join the armed services.

    Such a huge game.

    Win and its top four.

    Lose and I say we bring Secession on and leave those ferral $#@&$ to themselves.

    There were 12 teams and you had to make top 4, so taking the WW2 interruption into account, it’s an even more impressive record

    It's the time difference. That episode just aired for the first time.

    Gee the way they carry on after a few bad games and a premiership merely three years ago you'd think they hadn't won a flag in almost 60 years.

    There’s no other supporter base anything like them. They are full of self entitlement and believe the world is against them.

    A lot of their fans have absolutely no idea about the game. One thing I will give the Dockers fans is that generally they have an understanding of the game with so many of them coming from East and South Freo in the WAFL days

    Personally I am hoping 2018 PF still burns and that the club has had this one pencilled in all year. This is the one I want more than any other in the H+A season. This gets us 2nd or 3rd and the perfect drop into the finals. (Adelaide etc)

    Everything, as you'd expect.

    Dead set I reckon WCE fans are the dumbest in the league.  They could have a score review for Kennedy kick on goal, it could smash the post and go off at right angles and they'd still BOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

    One sook I found particularly amusing was extremely upset with the "lop sided" 5-8 free kick count in the 3rd quarter which cost them the game.

    I pointed out the 6-3 frees in the first to them, 8-3 in the second to them and 9-2 in the last to them, but they were "all there" and I am "obviously blind and know nothing about football"

    🤣 🤣🤣

    Sorry if I missed someone already explaining it, but does anyone know why the West Coast supporters were booing at the end of the game?

    Can't be umpiring - the final count was 28-17 and the string of frees after the reset helped enormously (cough... Melksham... cough... no finals for you)

    Can't be because the team disappointed them; they gave a good fight against the top team for most of the game and that post-reset surge was alarming.

    Are that just that sulky? Did they see a cloud that looked like it was asserting Indigenous pride?

    Ask them if they think maxy should have got a free late in the last quarter when i think Darling (maybe Kennedy?) shoved him full force in the back with two hands and marked it. 

    It drives me nuts how few frees maxy gets. Every game he is blocked, scragged, hit in the head, shoved in he back and yet barely gets any frees.

    And then my head explodes when they pull one out of their posterior agianst him. Like the free nick Nat got for too high in a ruck contest.  Technically there, but please, pay that and pay max 25 frees  a game for being wrestled out of ruck contests.

    The booing at the end of the game was classic Eagles supporters. Won the frees by a mile, even got a halt in play to reset and restructure (after they showed nothing in the first 5 minutes of the last quarter). Not enough for them.

    They was robbed! 😩

    My best guess was they were booing umpires for not giving them a 50 against Petty.

    I thought that was a pretty bad non-decision late in the game, but certainly didn't cost them the game.

    There was an incident where the ball was not returned on the full to a Melbourne player after a free had been paid - no fifty

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
