How was that a free to WCE right on the siren? Luckily one of the brain dead umpires stopped it.

    Jackson, Gawn, Brown, Lever, May, Petty, all been very good.

    Talls standing up in the wet is very good to see.

    Kelly is a bit too dangerous for my liking - I'd want to see Harmes go to him.

    Bowey still as clean as you'd hope to see from a 1st year player.

    2 goals outside 50 what can you do.

    Kennedy's kick for goal though, complete miss kick.

    Not pretty but I’ll take a 14pt lead in Perth a quarter time any day. A bit more clinical finishing and we could be further in front. 


    Interesting quarter.  We looked good to start but then the umpires started to exert a bit more control on the game and swung it the home team's way. 

    Bowey has been excellent. Playing in that cesspool listening to the Booers in the wet, and he’s looked very clean

    Yeo and Kelly got off the leash that last 5 minutes. Some lazy efforts by Petracca in not standing next to Yeo at the stoppage.


    They are at it again.Time differential to kick from stoppage.Blocking off the ball.

    Some one tell the umpires it’s wet weather footy. An arm in the wrong place that does not impede a WC player should not be a free.

    Good stuff so far. They started to get the initiative back late, but what I’ve liked is our forward fifty use. Eyes down and in quickly. If no mark is taken, then we are keeping our heads when the ball hits the deck.

    Their goals also have been earned. No softies.

    Let’s get this done!


    Deadset has there ever been a worse sports commentator than BT?

    Has a CLOSE UP of Hunt getting treated on the sideline. Zoomed in on his face: “Langdon getting treated here”.

    Petty just about has his jumper ripped off him: “Call against Petty here I reckon. Oh it’s going the other way!”

    Just quit you oaf. Quit today and never return.

    Is Darling even playing? Wearing a Lever blanket to keep him warm

    I've seen too many games where he's made us pay. Really enjoying this so far

    • NON-MFC: Round 15

      As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
