Only in AFL with AFL commentators could a player not get a free for either the initial tackle or the pile on just because he had said something 'insulting' during the week.  What a circus.

Cannot understand why there is not a bigger outcry over this incident.

Blatant animal thuggery by a bunch of sooky under instruction cowards.

    With the narrative the media have it is no surprise. It's more entertainment than sport these days. They don't want us winning 2 straight and there's not many Dees supporters in the media.

    Imagine if Langdon got concussion. He hit his head the ground quite hard and was lucky he was not hurt. The media like to [censored] the horse from both ends. They would have screamed outrage at the targeted irresponsible tackle and the brutality of it all as well as the lax umpiring and inaction to prevent these kind of incidents from the AFL.

    I can imagine how Langdon's family felt about him having an "attempted burial" during a game. It was a disgrace and a terrible look for a potential team of thugs.

    See my new rule of the week thread. He had at least 3 frees in that incident without one being paid. I thought it was disgusting.

    The commentators are now confirmed garbage as their comments were not about any free missed but that the violence showed the Pies had come to play.

    What about the pile drive of his head into the ground by Maynard? MRO will be a nothing to see hear from ex Pie Christian.

    Did you notice Pendles come in late, as Langdon was lying on the ground with 2 fists resting/pushing into his face, with a forearm to the jaw? Yes the clean Pies Captain, who then whinges to the umpires for the whole game, like he does every week.

    They will be letting this go at their own peril.

    I mean this rag tag club has got form for discrimination and all sorts of other baggage, and from what I hear two of the perpetrators were people that were very interested in dropping away from there for big financial gain.WTF

    Multiple combinations but I suppose we are hoping for Carlton to beat Brisbane but not by  so much that they get say a 5 point percentage boost.

    Life would be so much easier had we beaten the Dogs and the Pies

    Swans looking good to move into top 4

    Only early but right at the moment fails would be Coll Vs Melb  and Cats Vs Swans.  Now I would not want to play the Swans at the MCG first up.

    North will probably fade away late and let the Swans get us on percent

    Need 46 points at the moment to catch us. Still would be equal on points so even if both teams won their last two game would come down to who won be the most.  There are so many ways this can work out even with only two game to go. Swan might beat the Pies and end up 3rd, we play them at the G or beat the Pies by 24 points and end up 2nd we play the in Sydney. Of course we win one and play the Cats at the G or miss the top 4 all together. Some one get me a headache tablet, make it two.

    I feel like Brisbane are the anti-Demons. They feel like they could explode, go bang and kick 25 goals, but they also feel like they don’t have any team defensive structure.

    We're going to be 5th by the end of today.

    But their best is not good!

    The AFL draw definitely shaped the look of the eight this year. Geelong and Swans  got Norf twice + % boost. Geelong also got two bites at the eagles . 

    Geelong are laughing at the moment. Too easy for them. Everyone in the 8 has to fight for their lives except Geelong. 

    Hope they go out in straight sets.  Too many soft  H & AW games.

    I am dead set ready to throw my Foxtel box out the window. Stupid box takes forever to work & when it does come on it just randomly changes channels and is running to its own brain

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
