I know the side’s form is currently in a downturn, but does the collective intelligence of Demonland have to plummet with it? 

'Collective Intelligence': surely an oxymoron in this case...

    Clearly Butters has already won the Brownlow - he simply cannot buy a suspension. Corrupt AFL.

    Maybe there is better footage than what I saw.  But I’d like to know why Berry didn’t get fined for staging. From the grainy footage I saw it looked like Butters gave him a pretty soft tap with his non preferred left arm as he ran past.  From Berry’s reaction you would swear he had Mike Tyson give him a brutal kidney punch.

    While we are at it, why didn’t the Brisbane medicos cop it for not immediately sending Berry for scans at hospital.  He clearly could have had a ruptured kidney.

    If he didn't grab his head he would have been fine.

    I expect the media coverage will cause him the embarrassment & he won't be doing it again

    it also means that next time he is clocked high, the maggots will remember and not reward him with a free

    so one incorrect call will cause another

    It set an appalling example to all the other players, especially the junior ones. It was a disgraceful act, the fine should have been a hell of a lot more

    Our club needs to be better than this, little wonder that we are having the season that we are having, with players resorting to this kind of behavior. It is embarrassing.

    True, but so do the players from other clubs doing it and some of them are having quite a good season.  I can understand MFC supporters being [censored] off when it gets ignored until it's us in the sights.

    Steven May is lying on the ground - the ball is down around his knees.

    He's expecting players to pile on top of him to force a stoppage.

    So he brings his arm up to protect himself and his head.

    So he's getting fined for protecting his head? 

    AFL is rigged.

    And you my friend are living in Disneyland.

    May got what he deserved, but has more than enough credits in the bank for me not to worry about.

    Finally a serious question, why do so many supporters think there’s a conspiracy between the AFL& umpires against the MFC?

    Im not being a smartarse, just really interested

    Serious answer:  The conspiracy is not against the MFC per se (and some others), but in favour of where the AFL thinks the big $$$ are.  The overall effect may appear similar.

    Did May stage for a free kick, yes. Do other players stage for free kicks, yes.

    So why oh why do we always have to be front and centre for this type of media attention. 

    I am so sick and tired of media scum coming after our players and when other players do it it’s basically glossed over and forgotten about within 24 hrs. 

    The media do really pizz me off.  FFS FIND ANOTHER TEAM TO HOUND.

    If May didn't stage for this free, the Ump would have paid HtB without a shred of Prior

    Had a clear view and was watching the controlling Ump, it was obvious he was itching to pay HtB, clearly no prior, but was waiting the long slow theatrical wait, then I think got a call in the ear from another Ump

    They were egging on North by that stage

    So staging Yes, but better than alternative gift to North

    Yep. Mountain, molehill

    Wouldn't have been noticed had the media not worked themselves in to a lubed-up frenzy.

    Love the way Lethal smacked down Tom Morris last night. Morris talked like an excited child, Matthews talked with the wisdom of experience

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • 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?
