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 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • 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.
