I would rather it was a legitimate shirtfront that took him out. 

No because we're better than that.

    There's no karma in footy. The only way it'd be equal karma is if m*****d was one on one in the backline and we were 3 points down with 10 seconds left and he did his knee and we kicked the winning goal by running past him helpless on the ground. In the grand final. Then I'd believe karma exists in footy again.

    Not Karma but just because of his nature.

    He'll do something again and someone will simply do it back.

    Giants out of defence....

    Use the entire ground✅️

    Take space by foot whenever presented✅️

    Run and spread quickly linking up with precision kicks much of the time.

    Contrast this with our 'Run out of the square and bomb it long to Max' about 70%-80% of the time

    I used to attend Dees v GWS at the MCG to boo Tom Scully. I hated GWS. It feels strange to admit how much I like watching them play now Kingsley is coaching them.

    Yeah same & I hated Toby especially when he was getting in trouble.  Thought he was an [censored].  

    But now I really like them. They are good to watch.

    On another note big mouth mason has only had the 2 disposals

    Leon Cameron had pretty much the same list fighting for 12th spot every year, what a new coach can do...

    We fugged up royally with Toby Bedford. 

    Pressure, pressure and more pressure.

    Plus his pure pace the ultimate pressure forward.

    They are so good by foot like we were the 1st year with Chocco on board.

    Hogan had to leave our club to become the player he has become.

    Never happening at the Dees.

    Nope karma would have been them losing the gf last year even by a few points. He's got his premiership.  He wouldn't care if he did a knee or got knocked

    Disagree respectfully, he's good at that, but nowhere near Pickett in terms of scoreboard

    Conversely, Buckley trying to make Collingwood a defensive team then Mccrae comes in and uses the players abilities to their advantage

    • 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.
