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

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
