We all know that the umpiring last night was disgraceful.

The next question I guess is whether it was misconduct, or simple incompetence?

If it’s the “noise of affirmation”, can we put some noise cancelling headphones on these guys, or give them some training on not being easily influenced?

They need to find some cantankerous bastards like me to umpire. If I heard the crowd roar for a free kick my immediate reaction would be do to the exact opposite.

    The umps were bad as was the Dogs goal kicking BUT how interesting from a Demons perspective that neither team could stop the other from scoring.

    It actually gave me hope that we could beat the Dogs if we can continue to improve ball movement and maintain some defensive structure.

    Always disappointed when Geelong wins, BUT

    Melbourne are now outright best results over the last five games.

    On a five-game basis we are top of the ladder, and we just beat the reigning premiers!

    Can you caveat a woot woot?

    Three of the takeaways from that match and the pies are also doing is limiting the easy kick outs from the opposition and not all forward line players pushing up the ground to be in the contest and players not being sucked into the contest when they don't have to, we did something similar in the last quarter last week and I hope that continues.

    How they'd be winning if he was coaching.

    May they wallow in the bottom end of the ladder forever.

    Tigers half back line to Bummers half back line playing kick to kick. Some serious poor work through half forward from both teams. I think my Kindle is calling me.

    And after last night’s golden run Chris Scott had the audacity to complain about the edge technology & the decision that went against Dempsey

    Hugo Ralphsmith is a very good player these days. Rhyan Mansell is too.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
