Ā West was won.

We went up against a side which was playing for a spot in the 8.Ā  We were belting them, until the weather intervened.Ā  Once again, the umpiring was atrocious.Ā  I'll take a win the West anytime.

Fritsch - Did Bugger All

VDB - Worse than Fritsch

Umps - Played for Eagles

Absolutely nailed itĀ 

How does Vandenburg get chance after chance. Was slow and dumb and missed two definite shots that should have been kickedĀ

I think this is your best work Joeboy, that said, a touch understated on Bowey & Petty who I thought wereĀ outstanding.

James Harmes! A bit more humble pie as a late night snack for several Demonlanders, who wanted him banished. You know who you are.

Ā Bit harsh imo , guy got hurt in the first ten minutes.Ā 
Speedy recovery Hunty.


Hunt - Taylor calls Langdon

...and the camera is right on his face as he's getting his ankle checked by the physio on the boundary line.

To be fair he couldn't see his number.

Also says gawn will struggle withĀ tbe distance from 45 metres.Ā 

The bloke is just about theĀ longest kick in tbe team!

Petty doesnt do much wrong. Very good player as is Bowser whoĀ will be the most inexperienced player to play in a Demon premiership in at least 60 years.

Ā 

Enjoy the next 6 weeks fellas.Ā

TV commentators are dckheads mate. Amateurs.Ā  One of the clowns was going on about how Melk cracks in week in week out.Ā  I mean do some research. Every part of that sentence is wrong.

Ā 

Sidenote: Melksham always plays well after a spell and then fades after a month or so.

Ā 

Double sidenote: VDB is pretty ordinary and Sparrow is solid, iĀ like him.

I agree on Gawn but Rivers can kick it post high from 50m out and go 20m into the stands. I'd back him to be the longest kick at the club.

Umps hate Melbourne

Thid state of affairs has become so very obvious. What can we do about it? It may not be hatred from the umpires, but it is condoned, approved, never questioned by the AFL and its glorious myth of an equal playing field - highighted by an abnormal free kick differential between sides playing the one game of football, week in and week out.

In the Dees' case, any progressive movement of the ball is interrupted and directly interfered with in a very arbitrary manner where the consistent application of 'rules' and 'interpretations' is grossly prejudicial and arbitrary to their continuing disadvantage.

It is time for Pert to directly question the AFL itself with mounting evidence of such flagrant abuse. There is a template for the detriment of the MFC in the approaching finals - well rehearsed and grossly invalid - but no-one seems to care.

Fritta to rest / be managed due to all the head bashing he received from the Eagles. Replace with JSmith.Ā

Gawn swings his foot and leg in an arc to the left when kicking for goal. He should lead his kicking action from the knee with a bent leg and smoothly extend the knee joint when making contact with the ball.Ā

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
