While fans of 15 other clubs are delighted about tonight's result, Magpie supporters are not happy judging by some of the talkback tonight. Blaming everything from the prez to the coach to the altitude training in Arizona.

Do we invite MM to apply for the vacant coaching gig or do we wait until Eddie calls the press conference? :lol:

    Blame Foley, the guy was amazing with his centre clearances and his hard ball gets.

    Axel Foley plays football? :huh:

    Ahhhh, just imagine we had a player who goes in and under the packs with an unnerving desire to win the clearance....

    Foley has been on their club list since 2004 and this year he has finally hit his straps. By next year jones will be twice as good!

    No he won't, Foley is an absolute freak. Could be AA this year, leads the league in clearances.

    It's no laughing matter. Despite Collingwood's humiliation against Richmond last night, Malthouse seems to regard the melbournefc with contempt. Says he's going to rest Travis Cloke and possibly Dale Thomas - We need a midfield makeover: Malthouse. Bloke has a short memory. With Fraser and Swan appearing to be injured and Ben Johnson reported, we could derail their whole bloody season next week!

    Here's an oldie but a goodie and it's been around in a number of forms but this one's appropriate for this morning -

    Snow White has stayed at home to clean house and prepare lunch while the Seven Dwarfs have headed off to work at the mine. She takes their lunch down to them at the mine and upon getting there she sees there has been a cave in.

    Snow White is quite concerned that they could all be buried under the rubble and even worse could all have died so she calls down the mine shaft,

    "Are you all alright, is anyone hurt, are you all alive?"

    She hears a reply. "The magpies will be premiers in 2007!"

    With a big sigh of relief she says "at least Dopey's alive!"

    that makes us half a game from the bottom , and they have higher percentage

    Percentage makes no difference when it's 1/2 a game. Unnless we happen to draw a game.

    And wouldn't be very sweet if we did!!!

    Perhaps we should bring out the banner "Season Over" if we do beat them.

    I love it when Collingwood are the laughing stock of the AFL.

    If Melbourne and Carlton win today it would be the perfect weekend...

    • 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?
