Mind blowing that Petty is not playing VFL, dude can’t read ball drop, slow, weak, blames others when caught out of position. Drop and trade him while he’s got any trade capital in him.

    This doesn’t make sense nor does dropping him against Fremantle

    Feel for the bloke. It must be hard to stay on an AFL list when your surname is Culley

    Hi name is Culley - not with an "S"

    Goodwin backs his program, the problem is we are 0-5 with a totally DELUSIONAL coach that has overt grandios opinions of his ability that he has a master plan! Sorry his time has come and gone with 1 lousy flag to show for it! Nup not buying!

    “1 lousy flag” has to make it into the Demonland “hot takes” Hall of Fame.

    I’m having a good chuckle to myself imagining demons supporters crying tears of joy after waiting a lifetime to see the Dees make it to the pinnacle of the sport and you’re just like “who cares it’s one lousy flag!”

    It wouldn’t be his only entry in the hot takes, in similar fashion to Jeremy Howe regularly featuring in mark of the week. Every week he provides comedy gold

    Fritsch is gone, who to blame for this loss?

    Relax, Sparrow is still there

    Actually I wouldn’t have minded if they gave Sestan a game this week - omit Melksham. Sestan needs to be given a chance.

    Actually I wouldn’t have minded if they gave Kynan Brown a game this week - omit Spargo. (Spargo had 1 tackle and 4 missed tackles last week ). Kynan Brown knows how to tackle and needs to be given a chance.

    Both or either of these changes would have been okay by me

    You could have dropped plenty of other players. Perhaps it is a little too late. Freo to win , Goody to get sacked surely !!!!

    He probably means one “lousy” flag because most of us didn’t get to see that one flag, and won’t have the opportunity to see one anytime soon.

    It’s not always about who replaces them. Viney doesn’t warrant a game atm, that’s the statement I’d make. Give Culley a run.

    100% agree, and that was my underlying point.

    I just don't understand how after all the outrage about certain players getting a game, there is now even more discontent about who replaces them when they are dropped

    We have to field 22 players. If we are going to drop guys like Fritsch, JVR, Petty, Viney, Sparrow, Rivers or Spargo it shouldn't be a surprise that inexperienced players from the 2's will be coming in.

    I read this a lot.

    First of all, if you think the flag was "lousy", I can't help you - that's on you. It was, for me and I dare say the majority of Melbourne supporters, the complete opposite.

    But out of interest, how many of us do you think would have actually got a ticket to the G on Grand Final day?

    I personally didn’t find the flag to be “lousy” but it’s lousy to think many of us missed the flag live and at the same time cannot see any prospect of seeing one in the short to medium term.

    In answer to your question, I would say 22,000 MCC members (there is purported to be about 24,000 MFC supporters in the MCC), 1,000 AFL members, 16,000 club members and a number of supporters that would’ve scored via the corporate allocation.

    Plenty.

    I reckon he probably had just on half a match tops Roost.

    He did a few very good things but it wasn't a serious hit out and he was off and on a fair bit also.

    He needs more time imv both for his own sake and i would guess for the FD to take a good look and asses where he's at physically and in a form sense etc.

    Really hope he comes on quickly also. Could be a beauty

    What a silly call from this poster calling Fritsch a 0% chance of getting dropped this week.

    Of course he’s going to get dropped after his best game of the year and kicking a goal that electrified the side for a few rare minutes.

    Who do you put in to the midfield instead..? There’s nothing there..

    A statement was made, on players that we all acknowledge were out of form. At least the midfield will have something new to kick to, maybe it’s the spark.

    If you can't mark the ball when the midfielders do get the ball to you, then you should be dropped.

    • 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.
