Bowey takes the odd kick in and usually gets it right.

He does, but it's not a regular occurrence. 

I would like to see the kick out duties split more evenly between Salem and Bowey, with May only kicking it out when we need to clear a lot of space.

    And yet week after week the likes of BT tend to mention that our supporters don't show up.

    That’s a narrative they create purely because they don’t like us. 
    We are on track for record average attendees (43210, 1100+ per game on our previous best, even in spite of playing Essendon in Adelaide) and home attendance (52367). We are 6th in the league for average attendance and 3rd for home attendance (although a few teams are a game behind). Our membership is closest to 9th in the league so in terms of our fans turning up we punch well above our weight, but according to the football media and some on here we “never rock up”. Never let the truth get in the way of a good beat up!

    Can’t see why not, right? 😁

    We’ve won four of the last five years.

    We may not be as loud as some of the others but we certainly look the best. 🥇

    The Crows. (That’s way better than Essendon or Collingwood winning it though, amirite!) Every year The AFL Fans Association calls for nominations and then votes on it.

    Johnson has been anti-Melbourne since we embarrassed the Dogs in the ‘21 GF.

    Certainly am noticing a lot of Doggies supporters’ aggressive dislike for all things Melbourne nowadays… if only their players could’ve channeled that aggression at about the 20-min mark of the 3rd quarter of the 2021 Grand Final

    I know it's tempting fate even to mention it, but if we do play them in the GF I hope some enterprising lad or lass (paging @WalkingCivilWar@) creates a giant "7-1" banner to unfurl once the game is iced. IYKYK.

    Oh I get it now. Would most definitely be something we’d do, only this time we wouldn’t go early like we did on Monday. Learned a lesson that day. Phew.

    We all know they were sick and really had no excuses not to beat them. They looked tired - could be season / loading / illness.

    Should have won by 6+ goals because that’s what it looked like. 

    Got the 4 points move on to next game. Get the 4 pts at the Cattery and remove any doubt on our contention, form and serious threat. 

    The only thing that annoys me is that we get within 7 pts at PA and we don’t get the credit coming off a ridiculous travel schedule, 6 day breaks and Oliver playing on one leg.

    He was sighted alright.  The MRP saw it.  Thankfully, just a fine for Salo.

    Also cited.  By the way, was this “incident” mentioned on TV broadcast?  Or did Christian go through the whole game in slomo determined to find something?

    I don't watch or listen to too many broadcasts.

    Gee, that type of action happens all the time. Ball was in the vicinity, a tackle looked possible, but the ball may come loose, and we had been pinned for continuing the tackle earlier in the game. Sharp hit and ready to collect the loose ball. Crucial period and Salem cannot give a free (no intention). Unlucky it got him on a soft spot, probably on the end of the sternum or a rib.

    MFC players often cop those hits to our heads. Given the concussion litigation, isn't that one the one they need to get out of the game?

    I’m watching the replay. When they kicked 3 goals Hamish Mclachlan had the nerve to yell ‘bang, bang, bang’. Yuck. Let’s not tarnish the greatest moment in sports history.

    Also, is BT on the payroll at Collingwood? Did he realise 2 teams were playing?

    I feel sorry for people who can’t get to the G.

    Was also enraged by Hamish, who has made a living by being unoriginal and bland.

    With 1:00 remaining in the 2nd quarter Jack Viney kicked a clear point, that was called out on the full and wasn’t reviewed. It was definitely a point, and Ryan in our cheer squad knew it because he went ballistic at the goal umpire.

    It was a howler of an error.

    • 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?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
