Reckon the around the ground umpiring has been reasonable so far, but they have no clue when it comes to ruck contests. Grundy getting scragged hard in every contest, gets donuts, so does similar back and the whistle goes!

Yes Grundy being manhandled in the ball ups, before the ball is even bounced and for once decides to put an arm out to keep some distance to contest the ball and gets pinged for a “straight arm”  by the umpire. What are you supposed to do when you get no protection from the umps? And add in Petracca who is being obviously held at stoppages by his tagger, often in front of the umpire but gets nothing. Tracc is getting frustrated for obvious reasons.

    The scragging of our players at stoppages is incredible.

    ANBs kick into the f50 with a minute to go sums up our forward entries.

    We may win this because their defenders are dropping a lot of those bombs into our forwards. I can't get over why we don't lower our eyes. This has been going on for years now.

    Anyways, it's going to be a knock it forward at all costs game now and I hope we get up. We should take control but geez I'd like to see some forward connection

    Will Rowan get three weeks for careless high contact on Cameron?

    I know this is tongue-in-cheek but what is the difference? Both were contesting the ball. It just goes to show how stupid that rule is.

    We are now very much on top. The wet ground and the poor excuse for an AFL standard oval kept Geeling in it.

    Stop the 3-4 small in close handballs.

    We don't crumb packs well at all. Bruhn, Close and Miers are a cut above our crumbing players.

    Salem, Hibberd, Grundy, Smith and Rivers playing well.

    Please stop kicking it straight to Stewart and Guthrie.

    Before Kosi kicked that goal he was blatantly held in front of the umpire. Maybe we need 5 of them out there.

    Held? he got full on tackled without the ball

    Rohan should be looking at weeks for that hit on Cameron. Careless / High /  Severe Impact  = 3 matches.

    Tom Stewart dog act and Ralphy trying to talk it down to a fine.

    Dunstall  more honest said he saw Viney injured, moved over and pushed him over onto the sore shoulder side.

    Is that not foreseeable to cause injury.

    Watch the media argue against a suspension.

    Grundy comfortably playing much better than Gawn. You’d almost consider subbing him off if he does nothing in the 3rd and put Spargo on.

    Don't forget Grundy was getting hit in the head while the free kick was paid against him too. Yay

    We improved that quarter and upped the pressure. I expect us to step up a bit more this next quarter. 

    We will have to if we are to overcome the rubbish umpire's decisions.

    This quarter is ours.

    True but they dominated us first quarter for little result. It's a cold, wet night at a [censored] of a ground. It's a scrappy game, there will be little highlights tonight just a game to get the job done hopefully.

    I hate the scragging, you want to free the game up stop the scragging all over the ground. Trac was well within his rights to have a fit.

    • 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.

    • 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 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?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
