    So far we've dropped 3.4%. Drop another 2% and we'll go below the Dawks.

    Hawks deserve to be ahead of us. Been sensational for weeks now.

    When May and Lever are bad, they are just horrific. 

    It feels like we've spent the entire game taking 5 steps too many and running into trouble, or just banging the ball long to the Freo defenders. 

    Pickett not looking too interested today.

    Walters in the protected zone behind the man on the mark, moving sideways.

    Not only is no 50m paid, but he's not even told to get out

    Just wondering when genius mode kicks in for Goodwin 🤷‍♂️

    How are they constantly running unmanned? And finding multiple free players inside 50?

    Is everyone dead in the coaches box? 


    CAN OUR DEFNDERS ACTUALLY DEFEND AN OPPONENT FOR ONCE!

    Walters must love playing us. Perfectly suits his game of not wanting a tough contest & waiting for a loose ball

    I wasn't never going to believe that. Coming as it was from his mum 😀 

    Freo are everywhere, headcount please lol

    Why are they all unmanned so often in their forward 50?

    Ok we are down in the ruck but why so poor in defensive effort today??

    What was our plan going into this match? If you look at the disaster of the previous match what did we plan to do differently to counter this?

    The inability to create solutions has cost us finals and potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars.

    How is it that you can turn over the ball at half forward, and they get an uncontested mark inside 50 without anyone getting within 10m of their players?

    This is unacceptably bad. Makes Goodwin look silly when he said that they haven’t seen the real us. [censored]. But don’t worry Billing’s will save us.

    Hard when he's being double teamed at every opportunity.

    We're not a contender this year so may as well just play kids and try for be best draft pick possible. Give the kids time around the ball. It's not like the senior players can handle it.

    No more list cloggers like Billings, Hunter, Laurie etc

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
