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we have replaced defenders in last 5 years, Hunt, OMac, Frost, Hibbered, Lovett, Tomlinson when he did his knee, have been replaced by Petty, Bowey, McVee, Rivers, Gus for a period, (Howe, Hore off a very small sample size), and it hasn’t missed a beat.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.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
