    Said it last week. Losing Petty will cost us a flag. We are not going to kick the scores we need against quality opposition without a decent power forward.

    We had our chances for a mark in that last minute, but ultimately it took a BS call to beat us.

     ROBBED.

    Looking forward to burying those mugs in the finals.

    Hell of a game.

    Carlton can win the flag.

    Score review sucks.

    We looked 100 times better once Jordon was off, Hibberd went back and Smith forward similar to what the smart ones here (me) proposed all week because the overall balance was so much better.

    Grundy isn’t a forward but he’s an excellent ruck and stemmed the centre clearance bleeding in the last quarter which ultimately lost us the game.

    We had top two within our grasp. 

    I still maintain Carlton aren’t that good but they won ugly and credit to them.

    Love you as ever Dees but you let that one slip.    Can't lose another one.  Lets just go for 5 straight.

    Really looking forward to see If Tommy McDonald can get into some form - need an experienced tall body up forward.

    Same goes for Frittata.

    Calm down. We didn’t play well and almost stole it. Long way to go.

    I sat behind the goals. IT WAS NOT TOUCHED 

     

    AFL loves to see this pack of wild animals make finals. Good for rating. Disgraceful.

    I have major issues with Salem running into an open goal, unpressured, and not making the distance from about 42 metres. I just don't get it. Furious with that.

    Great game of footy, but we were beaten at our own game and looked slow around the contest, especially at stoppages.

    Insufficient evidence.   But we didn't lose it in the last minute.  We lost it the first 2 minutes of the last qtr. Gutsy loss

    On paper, having Grundy in our best 22 is a dream.

    In reality, it’s just not a thing.

    Pretty poor last few minutes, we’re supposed to have plans for situations like that except the plan seemed to be bomb it to a pack of 20 players, have a couple of hail mary shots from 50 (ok Salem’s wasn’t that far and he should’ve kicked it, Trac was robbed but it wasn’t the right option imo) and repeat bombing it. Gotta be better than that. 

    Blues were good though, pressure was massive. Clarry not quite up to speed yet

    1. Bad umpiring ruins our great game. 
    2. Carlton are the best team in the AFL as of this moment. 
    Just a shame it was blighted by the umpiring. It’s the AFL’s greatest shame and embarrassment.

    No idea what you were looking at Dazzle. One angle showed the ball miss his hand by a fair way.

    Come on Dee supporters dont give them baggers any reason to gloat. JUst nod and say see you in September. There will be lots of nashing of teeth over the last touched call. But games are won over 100 minutes not just one. Both teams were good tonight, it was a great  warm up for the finals. 

    Move on to the Hawks next week

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
