Too far. We can’t take a [censored] trick. 

Haven’t seen a step count replay yet. Any other big club would’ve had replay after replay and the commentators saying “we don’t want that in our game”

    Has Windsor hit a target by foot or hand in the past 6 weeks? 

    He’s running on fumes, but there’s no one to come in for him.

    He called it for high contact. I hit rewind and watched it again. There was no head high contact. 100% paid for the reason you stated.

    Umpires are getting under my skin. You know what town you're in. Stevic you rat. Thirteen steps is too many?

    I know we've always been a low skill-level team, but damn this year it is so incredibly painful watching us try to move the ball up the field.  Every possession is a 50% chance of morphing into a turnover.

    Was that the one where the umpire took forever to blow this whistle, but the crowd were booing so he thought he better do something

    i think the pressure just builds as the season goes on. i don't think he is running on fumes. he'll be better for the run.

    Rivers took 13 steps.

    After 4 howlers against us for goals last week now 6-1 frees and a goal taken off us AGAIN.

    When I think of Charlie Cameron I think of a motorbike revving then I think of John Denver then I think of a plane crashing into a mountain then I feel better.

    Good to see all of JVR, Turner and Petty clunk a mark or two early.

    Effort  and energy is good as are  the attempts to move the ball. I just need some composure and a touch of luck (Rivers robbed). Hopefully we dont drop our bundle and go again.

    At least we are playing like we give a s—t . But the end of the day one goal a quarter ain’t going to cut it. Umpires playing to home ground crowds makes me puke.

    As soon as you see umpire 22 on the field you just know the game is cooked

    I really feel that they paid the free kick to Lohman because everybody stopped and looked guilty. Looked like just a normal body spoil on the smaller player.

    Just re-watched the Rivers non goal 9 -10 steps max. Ridiculous 

    I counted roughly 15 but that's fair also.

    Nick would be allowed another 5 meters!

    It was also paid by the umpire 50 metres away, not the guy right there.

    1 free kick in a quarter of football, several missed.

    The numbers do not lie:

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
