Umpires are [censored] atrocious 

It’s so bad it’s laughable… thankfully it’s match simulation

    Mark to Turner surely

    Loving the ferocity with which our key forwards aer attacking the ball aerially. If we keep it up all season, we can be a feared attacking club again

    How are all the newest Dees we got over the offseason going? 

    • langford - everywhere, get on him for the rising star; will be the best 1st year player we've had since oliver
    • linsday - smooth, almost goes unnoticed
    • sharp - busy and quick, runs to the right spot, impacts defensively
    • campbell - looks like an afl-ready ruckman, looks surprising that he's not played more senior footy

    I’ve been happy with all of them.

    Campbell- holding his own against Xerri and is fantastic back up to Max

    Sharp- has done some nice things and kicked a goal. Has been clean with ball in hand.

    Langford- smooth mover and knows how to find it

    Lindsay- similar to Langford without the marking prowess but a bit quicker 

    Johnson hasn’t played yet I don’t think

    Thanks mate. Sounds promising 👌

    I usually avoid match day threads (for reasons which don't need much imgaination to guess), but I'm following this one out of footy deprivation. 

    Are these established AFL umpires, or some newbies?

    I am expect to be shouted down for this but I feel like Billings has actually looked pretty good…

    Awful turnover early in the game but pretty good outside that

    Umps let play for a minute after the 3 minutes ended?

    Thanks pal. I like the sounds of that comment best player drafted since Oliver. And sounds like we may picked up some shrewd picks in Sharp and Campbell. Albeit small sample, but consistent with training reports over the summer.

    I felt like he was finding his feet a bit towards end of '24. Hopefully translate to a better and consistent season in '25.

    No sign of Brown dog

    He along with Johnson and Verrell were wearing the training tee-shirts in the pre game warmup which suggests he’ll either be playing in the second half or not at all.

    Anybody willing to give this ageing queen a rundown on how Oliver is going? I’m really wanting him to stick it far up some people this year

    Very nicely.  Old Clay is back…

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
