Brilliant win - lack of accuracy stopped it bring an 8 or 9 goal win.

Just want to shine a light on Sam Weideman - what an effort today.

Abysmal umpiring

    It was a good warm up for the avalanche of free against next week at skinny stadium.

    The Weid did his bit today. Was always going to be tough for him

    Agree Sam did his job

    I’m really enjoying the salty tears of Adelaide fans crying that Lever is soft for going down when hit in the guts. Yet Foggerty ran away like a little scared cat the moment Viney stepped in.

    Sam did good but we miss a ruck. Not just in the contest but around the ground. O’Brien was influential in the air. Weideman needs to find his own niche - what he excels in, and really hone in on it. It’s it’s tackling pressure then so be it try lay 10 plus tackles. Each tackle creates a potential spillage for our mids to mop up. Good effort by us. Up against it and came through with a win. Those games up there are always like this for us.

    Today was the type of win I’d expect. 

    Keep them at arms length, but pull away when required.

    The problem for them was Taylor Walker’s corky. He was the only bloke who could have won the game for them. After his cameo in the first half, he was barely sighted.

    On its day, no one beats our mids. Lots of trios have a mixture of grunt and class. Our three best engine room mids are some of the physically strongest I’ve seen. The Lions of the early ‘00s are the only midfielders who could not get physically pummeled by our blokes.

    Off to Mordor now. Geez I want us to knock them off. The media suckholes are champing at the bit to designate Geelong some type of premiership frontrunner and I don’t want us to give them a reason to.

    Can’t believe not a word from Foxtel commentators on what was probably the worst umpiring performances this season. 
     

    Really happy for Mitch Brown to bag 2 goals, tried hard in the ruck, but way undersized.. Has been a great team man for Melbourne and deserved a bit of reward.

    Clarry just the lazy 13 tackles tonight (on top of his usual ridiculous stats).

    Things you love to see from players AFTER signing a contract.

    I think an official complaint has more merit/power after a win.

    Does anyone know how many of their frees resulted in goals or scoring shots.

    One of the most appalling displays of umpiring I have ever seen and I've been around for a while.  The AFL have tried to make the umps some sort of footy celebrities for TV purposes, but their feel for the game and judgement is just so bad.  In fact, it currently is a blight on the game.  This win tonight is bigger for us than the score would suggest.  We had to beat incredible odds, which were solely down to atrocious umpiring, on Adelaide's turf and we did it with grit and determination.

    That's the Demon spirit, which nobody can deny.  Not even the umpires.   Go you mighty Demons.

    It may be also worth remembering the return game last year, when we beat Adelaide by 41 points

    MELBOURNE 104 def ADELAIDE 63

    Beggars belief really.

    I care, had a gut full of biased interstate umpiring for the last 30+ years. For a multi million dollar industry it's F'n amateur hour

    23 to 9 frees. That is as corrupt an umpiring exhibition as you will ever see. 

    Adelaide is a hole of town. Their supporters are feral. 

    They can farkl off

    ‘the roar of affirmation’ is real.  Umpires inevitably get sucked in to appeasing the crowd.  It is amazing to witness

    Even the clearly biased commentators were saying how incredible he is. 
    His hands are the best I’ve ever seen.

    Happy with the 4 points so lets move on to next week. I must say it was one of the worst umpiring exhibitions any one is likely to witness. They were a disgrace.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • 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?
