    That was Nero's fault. He fiddled instead of calling the fire brigade.

    McKay is actually listed at 204cm.

    It's a significant difference and that's where I thought Tomlinson battled well even though he was beaten.

    I'd play him on Brody Mihocek.

    Mihocek is an aerobic beast fwd he works his [censored] off and Tomlinson can go with him better than May

    Let 2021 go mate. We're not going to dominate every week.

    That's the thing. Some people think the last three minutes of the third quarter of GF was how played for the entirety of 2021. Recall the loss to GWS. Their midfielders waltzed out of centre bounces and our forward line was anaemic (picture high kicks to Spargo matched against two tall defenders...). Re-read the postgame thread; midfield rubbish, Fritsch to be dropped, Goodwin to be sacked. 

    Form fluctuates. Sustained success is hard. Premierships are a possibility not a certainty.

    Lots of focus on our opposition not being amazing but our gold coast win at metricon looks really good to me, as they knocked off the doggies who are in great form.

    Such a tiresome stat that actually shows how we beat up on lowly teams and struggle against top 8 teams.

    Following your logic you must be thrilled with our scores of 76, 72 and 61 in the last three weeks, lol

    We have Coll, Cats at Geelong, Saints, Brisbane and Adelaide coming up, reality check time.

    Good posting

    Absolutely! See also the essendon win, hawthorn draw, loss to the bulldogs (stats were ok but we were really lacking connection), even the wins against West Coast and Adelaide at the end people were not very comfortable with. We played a lot of footy similar to last night in 2021.

    Same. Bar a couple of close losses this season is trending like 21.

    You would probably declare season over at three quarter time.

    Probably should be talking about Petracca's game more.

    32 possessions, 6 marks, 4 tackles, 7 clearances, 15 ground ball gets (next highest for either side was Walsh with 8), 9 score involvements but also 27 pressure acts, 11 of which were in the defensive half, all from 83% game time. Did it on offence and defence. Truly superb.

    He played with a chip on his shoulder last night, good to see

    100%
    The backline held the joint together for much of the middle part of the year.
    Front end of the ground didn't work much better than ours is now though Kozzie and Frittta were kicking a few.

    You understand this is blatant hypocrisy, right?

    We win ugly, you talk about how we played terrible football.

    Collingwood win ugly, you talk about their W-L record (i.e. suggesting the win is all that matters).

    Collingwood had one ugly game while we've had quite a few ugly games.

    Did you watch their win against North last week?

    Imagine your reaction if we only beat North by 35 points and allowed them to kick 6 goals in a quarter. 
    You’d be calling for a National inquiry

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
