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.

Absolute Crucifiction!!

And we still win by 5 Goals

That was a great 2nd half from the boys 

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

3. P.Seedsman (ADE)

2. B.Keays (ADE)

1. B.Fritsch (MEL)

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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
