That takes Jones to about $12000 in dinky fines since taking over as captain. Anyone know where this money goes?

I hope there is a brown  paper bag lying around for him to step on.

    The word 'thuggery' I had hoped would come across as tongue in cheek, I have posted more than once that i love how hard they are playing. We're on the same page.

    It's great to see.

    Yes i was quite impressed with Newton. He was quietly productive. Deserves another game

    First look at Newton this year, he looks a completely different player and a solid man unit.  All hail Football department!

    Newton certainly showed that he has begun to improve his tank and his disposal by foot is good too....

    For Newton it means that he knows he is right on the cusp of selection, and with others also breathing down his neck (Salem, VDB, Trengove, Grimes etc) it means that he needs to keep up this terrific form so he is first pick the next time someone loses form or goes down with injury.

    It's a great spot for us, as a club, to be in.

    Watching a replay and noticed how good Ben Newton was. Looks to be a different player - leaner, more composed and seems to have gained a yard. Would be very unlucky to be dropped.

    As I said in the early game day thread, you will be surprised at what Newton and ANB bring to this game. Glad to see Newton was able to deliver the surprises.

    Coaches votes.  Can someone do a breakdown so we can work out if Leppa give Daniel Rich three votes.

    Melbourne vs Brisbane Lions
    8 Jesse Hogan (Melb)
    8 Billy Stretch (Melb)
    5 Tom Bugg (Melb)
    3 Jeff Garlett (Melb)
    3 Daniel Rich (BL)
    2 Christian Petracca (Melb)
    1 Clayton Oliver (Melb) 

    Can I just say, how exciting is that? Outside of Garlett, there are four MFC newbies who have played less than 50 games in the top 7. What an exciting future we have if we can keep them all together.

    I would be surprised if Newton lost his spot after his effort this week and Roosy did indicate in his Presser that there would be a number of changes this week against the Power due to the six day turn around and travel time, etc. could be interesting. We have to get Max some relief and also shore up the back line - Go Dees

    One of Garlett of Rich got a three and the other a 2 and a 1. No way of knowing which was which. 

    It goes like this. 

    Hogan and Stretch have a 4 and 4 and a 5 and 3. Bugg has the other 5 and oliver has a 1 and track a 2. What is left is a 1 a 2 and a 3.

    By my reckoning Rich received votes from both coaches.  Billy Stretch and Jesse Hogan could be the other way round ie 5/3 and 4/4 respectively.  Interesting that Bugg got 5 from one coach and zip from the other...of course my reckoning could be wrong. 

      Coach 1   Coach 2
    1  Clayton Oliver   Daniel Rich
    2    Daniel Rich   Christian Petracca
    3   Jeff Garlett   Jesse Hogan
    4    Billy Stretch   Billy Stretch
    5    Jesse Hogan   Tom Bugg

    5 Tom Bugg (Melb) 5

    I reckon he does it to gee everybody else up. I'd hope the club pays it back for him out the back door...

    That's why I mentioned the figure since taking over as captain. Post-siren specialists as well - g' the boys up before the huddle. Noticed JV also got in on the act on the weekend with a big shove after the bell.

    If it goes to the afl revenue and the players get that percentage of revenue they want, would that mean that in the future they essentually start paying for themselves?

    Aside from the kindness and happiness the Fox Commentators had for Melbourne after they kicked their first four goals i think Newton will hold his spot and we will

     go in with both Spence and Gawn.

    I've said it before on here. When Jones gets into a scrap, we win. It fires the boys up and instills belief for them they can win. He did it a few times last year too, most memorably against Collingwood where he picked a fight with Pendles, and we won. 

    Hopefully the club helps him with the fines as it means we won!

    I wonder if the club is allowed to help?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
