Show some pride MFC and have a dip. This is a pathetic display. Next season’s membership renewal is looking pretty grim if they are going to dish up more of this slop in the 2nd half🤮

 

I love that we are trying some new positions as you learn things. I have already seen enough of the Bowey at half forward. Can we please get him back at half back off the back of the stoppages.

Please put Viney to half forward (preferably to pressure and not get the ball) and move Rivers into the middle.

Better quarter effort wise and once we put Howes to Gunston but we are just being shown up by a slick outfit with something to play for.

    Should’ve paid 50 m as well. That would’ve shut them up.

    At the game. There are 4 umpires. 2 are miles away and none of them stand on the skinny side of the ground so they can throw it all you like and nobody sees it. Whoever runs the umpires needs to go.

    Better umpiring in the o&m

    It was just on the siren. But the umpire should have given the ball straight to petty, not hold onto it & wait for the hawks players to get back. I know he didn't get the distance but give him a chance

    I’m thinking of leaving to get home in time to watch the women play. At least they seem to care.

    This margin really flatters us. They missed some gettable shots. Should be 10 goals down.

    Would be lovely to see something different in the middle because if we can’t get on top in clearances we will get slaughtered. Giving Hawks first use so they can run and carry and hit targets with precision is not going to work.

    Our best ball user at centre half forward is hard to watch

    On this performance we may not get a single applicant for the coaching job.

    Perhaps we will then become known as the Melbourne Diabolicals.

    If the free is paid and they're wrestling with the kicker - shouldn't that be 50m?

    Wouldn’t be a bad idea to swap Turner forward and JVR back.

    Also, this is the perfect match where they should have had 4 substitute umpires on the bench. At least three of them should’ve been dragged by now. Have an umpires coach on the bench and take them through the vision to see the error of their ways.

    Look are we surprised? Look at what the hawks did to the pies last week.

    This side is hungry for finals & they can also finish top 4.

    We are thinking about 6 months off

    Ah ok, thanks I didn’t see that

    We used to get the contested possessions which covered a lot of deficiencies in system and skill. Once we can’t win the ball we look like an under age team playing against a senior team. The Hawks know all they have to do in a contest is handball/throw the ball to the outside and they have guys waiting to receive and run.

    Mark Howard is the most biased commentator in have ever heard. Granted the dees are awful but he is absolutely just barracking on the microphone. It couldn't be more one sided if it was a pro Hawks special. Really giving me the [censored]

    Pickett, Langford, Rivers and Bowey would make this game interesting at centre bounces. We are going to lose, but seeing something different makes this game more interesting.

    Yep & luke bruest was also on the field meaning the hawks had an extra player. If the interchange stewards were alert they should have paid 50

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
