Someone getting their money's worth out of their MCC membership it seems.

That guy is my hero. I love it was caught on TV. I stood and applauded with him. 

 

Early days but loving the fact they have traded out their first round pick to freo and won't get a consolation prize if their season goes completely belly up.

Pies got crucified by the umps.
Free kicks were Saints 30 Pies 15.

Higgins goal from the 3rd row was a nail into the pies hearts.
 Umps were shocking.  

Pies were massacred by the umps.

It was beautiful to watch

🤣🤣😊😊🤣🤣😊😊

 

I'm not the guy in the pic but I was also at game in my Melbourne gear, cheering the Saints on.

Collingwood fans are hilarious and I'm convinced half have no idea what they are watching.

Also particularly enjoyed when they went the early crow not once but twice with their stupid chant, only for half on them to be on their way out the door a few Saints goals later.

Re Higgins' goal... looks in to me!  😎

Freo on the Pies death ride … oh my, the irony. 

Pies tanking for draft picks?

Lol what?! Please tell me you’re joking!

He was presenting an analogy (I think). 🤷‍♀️  It made no sense at all. I’m sure even he would be puzzled if he watched his presser back.

As they fall, any pickings from the carcass? Apart from the Daicos brothers who will have to wither on the vine, who would you take, I used to like McStay, but feeling ho hum about him, Moore would never leave, Hill I rate, Quaynor also, but that is about it, everyone else is looking like a dollar special due to age. 

Yep not much bait there. Maybe Murphy if healthy?

Pity it has to be Brisbane.

Both 0-4 would be good to see...

...but I guess you can't have everything.

nil all draw anyone?

 

Considering the last 3 flag winners, we've still been the most consistent one.

I thought about this but he doesn’t replace May, and I like our guys more. There will be an article about how well we have replaced defenders in last 5 years, Hunt, OMac, Frost, Hibbered, Lovett, Tomlinson when he did his knee, have been replaced by Petty, Bowey, McVee, Rivers, Gus for a period, (Howe, Hore off a very small sample size), and it hasn’t missed a beat. You play in the Men’s department for Melbourne, you are a very serious player, anywhere…Me thinks we could do with more praise for Troy on this fora.

Egregious spelling

Pies will miss finals.

They remind me of Leicester a few years ago when they won the EPL (2016 i think it was). For a season and a half they couldn't lose even though everyone expected the wheels to come off at any moment. The season after their miraculous win they crashed and burned finishing 12th. 

 

 

A crows win over the cats tonight would set the weekend up perfectly.

Putrid umpiring.

Good result.

Nup you definitely want Brisbane to win next week.  The pies can have their easter ruined & go 0-4.

How far St Kilda this year?

Prelim final?

You would be a fool to underestimate them. Some great talent coming through and well coached.

Agreed. They’re definitely underrated and are well in the top 8 mix this year.

If only the Pies could get relegated..

This just in from AFL Headquarters:

If Collingwood lose to Brisbane next week and to a Jack Ginnivan-led Hawthorn the week after in Gather Round, they will be granted exclusive draft access to Nathan Fyfe's twin boys as compensation.

If that happens, expect to hear a lot about Collingwood, Owen Fyfe and Norton Fyfe.

Carlton lost six (seven?) in a row early last season. Everyone wrote them off, said they wouldn’t make finals. Nek minnit…

Collingwood are so far off it that I’m not sure beating them right now is necessarily a sign that St Kilda are any good.

 

Every year st kilda are talked up. they never deliver. they've got some good players in King and Marshall and they are well drilled by Lyon but they are a 6-8 team at best.

  • 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.
