hope the afl gets sued by in coming years with its tolerance of headhunting teams like hawthorn. sickens me how taking out playmakers is seen as a legitimate, manly trait of our game by MRP and rulemakers. ball players like johnson and chapman will be front of the queue.

    I agree - on another note watching this game reminds me how good footy can be. After watching our games week after week I forget what great footy looks like.

    nothing wrong with guerra's hit on pods. hit him in the chest, shouldn't even have been a free kick. umpire only called it because pods threw his head back.

    Can't stand Geelong.

    It's amazing to watch players work hard for each other.

    Can't stand Hawthorn anyone who was at the games in '87 & '88 knows exactly what I mean.

    Guerra will get three for hit on Chapman, will get off on bump to Podsiadly and Shiel will get three for elbow off the ball on Christensen. I think there was another but I can't remember.

    Great game though. Hawkins has really come of age. Took him a few years. I hope Cook gets a bit longer to see if he can make it.

    True. Those two days in the stands are burned in my memory as a young lad.

    I have forgotten a lot of things, but not that.

    who took out the geelong player in their second last goal? it was slightly off camera. a high shot.

    Glad that geelong won in the end, the love for hawthorn would have been nauseating

    Now that Hawthorn and Geelong have played off for Bronze, Melbourne and the Schoolies will go for Gold and Silver.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • 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.
