Ridiculous umpiring so far....Rioli tripped into the defender for the first free kick and goal.

Then Rozee was tackled to the ground after running 15 metres and was NOT penalised for holding the ball!

    The Power went forward to JHF and took a kick that we’ve been programmed not to take. Kicking to 40-50 metres out towards the middle. We go to the pocket every time because it’s easier to defend from that position.

    Our inaccuracy isn’t an accident.

    you'd worry about the home town umpiring if your were a Giant. Greene was nearly choked in that tackle. obvious head high. free all day long. not given

    Under what rule was that a free to Rioli?

    The home town umpiring is embarrassing 

    as usual the fools on the mic say nothing

    I'm going to sound like a broken record. This is also a rhetorical question. Why didn't we pick up Jesse Hogan when Freo wanted to ditch him? He's exactly what we need!

    Jesse Hogan looks on tonight. a couple of excellent contested marks and slotted his set shot well

    Good god I wish we still had Jesse. Like yearning for an ex girlfriend...

    Nah, that never works.

    Toby Greene is my favourite non-mfc player

    The way Daisy explained his reading of the play hit the nail on the head.

    Such creative forward craft... unpredictable for defenders...and something that Melbourne never seems capable of is that his teammates read his movements.

    I wish we still had Jesse but we probably don't win in 2021 without Steven May in defence. 

    Sliding doors.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      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.
