Played a very good game today full of precision kicking, courageous efforts, ferocity at the ball and the man.

I am not one who wishes injury upon anyone from any team, however,

That hit on Luke Russell in the last quarter by Tappy was tremendous for all the right reasons and has seen Russell taken to hospital.

I wish Russell a speedy recovery.

We have become whipping boys of recent times. And on the receiving end of such instances too often.

Today many stood up and hit back, I just thought Tappy's effort was significant.

    That bump from Tappy was honestly the highlight of the game for me. It probably was the only time my heartbeat went over 35 beats per minute, I was that bored.

    But Tappy was blowing hard today, and is clearly not fit. Would love to see him with a proper pre-season finally.

    Also thought Strauss did some good things. His kicking is still awesome.

    Full of precise kicking? Not sure which game you were watching. Yeah, Tappy played a lot better today. His marking in particular. Some of his kicking hit the target, but there were a number that were end-over-end atrocious. Good to see him getting fired up though when he kicked that goal. His marking was fantastic today though. As usual though, his courage and ferocity at the ball was never in question.

    Strauss reminds me of a young Andrew Mackie. He's ordinary one-on-one (and must get better), but is a sublime kick of the footy.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
