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

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
