Is apparent bravery a way to now get away with obvious front on contact?  Happened numerous times against Frittata on Thursday and Tarrant just then got away with one. 

I've also noticed players getting pushed in the back in marking contests and not being paid. It's more than holding one's ground, the aim is to take the opponent out of the contest. I thought Neale's mark on the boundary Punt Rd end was a clear push out. I think Petty got a good shove in another 1:1 contest

Happy for players to hold ground, but not if it clearly takes the opponent out of the contest

    Is a fair comment, I just don't mind as we do it as much as any team.

    Great game, not enough zooming in on Scott though.

    It seems that MFCSS has mutated and there is now a strain called MFCVM (Melbourne Football Club Victim Mentality) which manifests itself by sooking about the umpires being against us, the AFL working to bring us down, the media having a vendetta against us and the MRP handing down decisions which are not in our favour.

    There is no chance of Tom Stewart receiving any less than two weeks for that hit.  

    Two weeks would be pitiful! Should be a minimum of four.

    It's quite dangerous and players are getting injured from it.

    May injured by A Hawkins push in the back last year and then again by a gold coast player this year when pushed into a contest and concussed by Lever.

    It goes against one of the main rules in the game. You should never be able to push people in the back.

    Just crazy

    Or some have mutated it into Must Defend The AFL Whenever syndrome. Most of the comments are about the corruption of AFL operations regardless of our club.  And if you don’t think the AFL has history in this I’m staggered. 

    Never let it be said that I'm an apologist for the AFL, sue.

    I'm talking about that whiny element of our supporter base who tell themselves (and us) that Melbourne get picked on and treated more unfairly than other clubs.

    I appreciate this forum is a place to vent for some people, and what really riles me, is that there is often vitriol towards umpires from certain posters.

    Personal attacks wouldn't be accepted against any other group. So why these individuals? It wouldn't be tolerated in my house against anyone, I'd send my 6yo to his room, and if I spoke like that, I'd send myself to the room and give myself a good long talking to about respect, compassion and common decency.

    So it's been bugging me that this forum perhaps doesn't sanction that sort of commentary (perhaps it does and I am not aware of it).

    We can do better Demonlanders. #notallDemonlanders

    What about the vitriol directed towards MFC players and Football department personal by quite a few posters, shouldn't that have been mentioned as well.

    I said he wouldn't receive LESS than two weeks in response to those sooks who posted he'll only get a week and be back for our game because everything's stacked against us.  Four sounds right to me.

    For Geelong it would be scarring to lose this with so much in their favour. Let's hope (even though I tipped them)

    Safe to say you wouldn’t like this then…

     Not saying you are one at all DStone but there are some posters who delight in boasting how superior they are by claiming to be super objective and rational unlike everyone else. They often go too far. There will always be over emotional supporters who go too far the other way

    This looks like the 2019 prelim and 2020 GF between these two.

    It's not over, but just a little excerpt from Geelong Big Footy:

    'This game is enough evidence again that we aren’t getting close to the flag. Pressure goes up and the same players just s**t the bed again and again without fail. It’s in the clubs DNA, poo your pants footy.'

    A beautiful thing.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
