A pyrrhic victory. Hard to get excited. Forward line is still a big problem especially Fritsch who let a youngster in Archer wipe the floor with him.

    The rules must have been changed again but nobody told us if you move on the mark when the player feigns a handball it is 50. That is bull dust! Cost us another goal. Putrid call.

    I was just at the ground. When the siren went I just got up and walked out.

    The 50 metres to Windsor was right in front of me: to the letter of the law that’s a 50. THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED TO TMAC 2 MINUTES LATER - AND NO 50. 

    The players were going berserk. The standard of umpiring can’t even be consistent for 3 minutes.

    The AFL is losing me. The umpiring is so inconsistent. Everyone waffles on about ‘the game is so hard to umpire’. It’s not an accident. It’s happening too often, and making them too much money.

    I can only imagine the Collingwood fans last week. reigning premiers and only won by 1 point

    Assume they didn’t celebrate or sing the song?

    I am gobsmacked by that. Scoreless in the last quarter. Holding the ball whenever we had it on the wing and letting them flood.

    We have zero confidence. Zero synergy. No structure. 

    We are poorly coached and playing like huge plodders. We are bottom 4 the way we are playing.

    Surely no one could defend Simon on that call…. It was embarrassing

    A relaxing evening spent watching our boys establish their premiership credentials on the hallowed turf. Can only assume positive comments in game day thread and this one. I hope Steven May’s head is ok too. That looked very nasty.

    Did you watch that last quarter? That definitely wasn’t the worst possible result.

    I think they are saying at least if they came over the top of us we’d be looking at getting rid of a coach who has obviously lost the players

    We’re in such a hole, how is our forward line getting worse.

     

    Clarry gave away 5 free kicks tonight, $1 million a year he is being paid by us, what an absolute joke.

     

    estatic I’m going to the game next week…..

    34 points up in the 3rd and we serve that shy te up in the last.

    Happy for the young lads tonight.

    We are a diabolical football team. 15 scoring shots against a bunch of kids. Overrun by a team we have huge amounts of experience over.

    This club is quickly sending us back to the depths.

    Like it or not, it is very simple. We are the softest football club in the land. We have been for a long time. We had an aberration for about 15 months a few years ago but normal service is resumed...we are always gettable because we have soft players on every line, and as a club we've never demanded anything else.

    Don't know what was worse, England's performance after Kane's goal or us after half time.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
