Me too. Last time Riewoldt killed him, but that was before anyone really knew how good Riewoldt actually is. It's been a while since Frawley was beaten, I'd love to see him get one back.

Only going from memory here and I don't like making excuses for anyone once they cross that line. From what I recall reading on this forum at the time, wasn't Frawley in doubt or something back then due to illness ?

Perhaps someone else knows ? Jaded perhaps.... ?

    Oh yes, that is true (well, at least the general consensus is that he was ill that day). Still, I'm sure in the back of Chip's mind he remembers playing, and being beaten, by Riewoldt that day.

    He is getting better every week, a trend in all our players.

    A terrific season so far.

    No doubt.

    Chip will now doubt remember, I am sure he will be looking at tearing Leapim Jack a new one.....

    I'm a big fan of Jordie McKenzie to,,,i think he's a great player

    but how did a rookie manage to get number 13? i thought rookies generally get higher numbers like 48 etc..

    He wore 49 last year. Jordie was offered a spot on the senior list at the end of last year but volunteered to stay on the rookie list so we could draft another player. Presumably the club has shown that it clearly intends to keep him so gave him an appropriate "senior" number.

    Yep, at the time there were rumours circulating that one of our defenders were in doubt with the flu.

    I have little doubt it was Frawley because he definitely wasn't himself that day.

    Should be a very good matchup this weekend though.

    I rang SEN tonight and reminded them about Jordie as Finey and Pikey talked about Melbourne. They said nothing in response.

    Don't worry. Those guys don't have enough brain-cells to compute anything outside of the very thin margin in which they operate. Total idiots who are very lucky that SEN is as lacking in talent as it is. If it were of a little higher standard, those two [censored]-jockey's wouldn't be anywhere near any voice transmitter more powerful than a telephone.

    I heard you. About 7;25pm, yeah ? They gave Jordie doughnuts. Not surprised really.

    Did you also mention something about Miller to the Gold Coast ? ..Pike focussed on that. Like he said if B.Miller gets an offer from the Gold Coast, he should take it. Clearly he is struggling at Melbourne; languishing at Casey. Pike got the impression Miller has been stamped.

    It was around that time. Daniel from McKinnon. I mentioned Jordie, because the subject was going to be Melbourne. Finey is very excited about us, and was saying how we're going to be number 1. Pikey said "why?" Then went on to say that just because we have a lot of draft picks doesn't mean we'll be successful. That Carlton have stockpiled theirs. My call was to rebuff that, but by this stage they'd moved on to asking what KP forward MFC could look to snare.

    I mentioned that we had 3 CHFs playing in Watts, Dunn and Bate and that all were playing up the ground, and that we needed a FF more. Pikey went on to say that Watts is coming along slowly for a #1 pick, and that we need something between the ages of 18 and 21 for some of these kids. The last part I would have agreed with but by that stage they'd moved on, so I hung up.

    So the Miller part wasn't suggested by me, but yeah, they may have gone there.

    Pretty pissweak. I was looking forward to hearing what Finey had to say about the Dees. Pikey wriggled off the topic at every turn, unless it was reminiscing about his glory days watching ox kick 9, and himself kick 4 in a quarter.

    individual awards are nice for young players just as long as they have a mind set for the big picture a premiership together

    I think Pike does have a point in asking "why?" Just because we have stockpiled alot of early draft picks, doesn't necessarily equal a successful #1 side. It's up to the club to develop them to be able to play to their best as a team and take advantage of the talent intake.

    It may guarantee a competitive outfit, but it doesn't necessarily guarantee a flag. ie. St.Kilda.

    I can think of a few other #1's that came along slowly. What is positive is "he is coming along"..

    I thought Watts had the opportunity to kick goals himself in close range on Saturday night. One in particular he handballed to Green in the goal square, when he had time to snap himself. It will come.

    For sure. I wouldn't mind if he was more hungry, but I'm not going to complain if a guy tries to do the team thing. I imagine he might take on more responsibility - ie. finishing the job himself - as he gains more confidence.

    What I liked the most about Watts' game was his clean ball-handling - for a big guy he's very good when the ball's on or near the deck.

    • 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?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.
