    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.

    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: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.Ā

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more Ā consecutive defeats.Ā
