    Good to see Mitch White back amongst the disposals. Still young, could be useful going forward.

    shattered to read about Gus. So disappointing for him and the club. Hit behind the play?? what kind of moron does that to someone with known concussion injuries. If its true take the year off. And think about retiring.

    Bugg impressive. Not sure why he was dropped. Far too good for VFL FOOTY

    Ferreira is one to watch... rookie chance.

    Maynard will give it a shake very soon. Quite an athlete

    Brayshaw is now a big concern... the curse of our 1st rd draft picks

    Trengove in the bests with only 20 touches? What role did he play?

    But if after 15 years Lewis is happy to play on I don't see why Angus would be overly concerned if the docs aren't. 

    And Daniel Bell after 60 odd games had what appears to be permanent brain damage... don't put your desire to see him succeed as a player, ahead of Brayshaw's best interests. The doctors don't always get it right.

    And/or have we made a terrible mistake? 

    On the contrary, I would say we have done him (Bugg) a big favour. His dropping has obviously woken him up and he has responded in the best way possible.

    Hmm, I hope you're right hardtack. 

    But it's the great hypothetical conundrum- might he have played a similar out-of-his-skin type game on Monday night if he was given the chance?

    Get some therapy, DD36.  It ain't about Melksham.  It still isn't about Melksham, and it wont be the next 20 times you post about him being selected for Monday. 

    Good on TB for answering the selectors in the most powerful way.  There are several others that should be doing the same - make yourself impossible to leave out.

    On Melksham - Lets see some of the other young backs that play a comparable role play the house down and demand to be picked in his place.

    Jesus.. it was tongue in cheek mate. If you took offence to that then maybe its you that needs therapy.

    On Melksham he is very lucky this weekend. But il still back him in to hopefully play a role for us. With Hibberd in maybe Vince or Melksham pushes up to a wing.

    Unless you intended to play bugg in the back half it's not a like for like swap.

    I think kid we weren't playing tigers this week with their brigade of smalls he may have been dropped.

    I would have kept Bugg in the side and given him a tagging role on Cotchin or Martin personally.

    I'm not using the past as an example. I'm using Lewis as of right now. If there was cumulative effect or any worry re brain injury surely he would not play on. 

    Too much hysteria re concussion imo. We've gone from not caring at all to way over the top

    Sad for Gus. Great talent, courage but vulnerable.  Needs a very long time out if this latest concussion confirmed.

    Sorry but I do not agree IMO you cannot be over the top with concussion injuries (no pun intended)

    • 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.
