    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.

    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

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0ā€“4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demonsā€”but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players."Ā This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday nightā€™s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes.Ā He wasnā€™t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this weekā€™s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals.Ā But donā€™t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- ā€œThey canā€™t run. If you canā€™t run at speed and get out of the contest then youā€™re in trouble.
