I was wondering that myself, it was only Nibbler wearing it am I right?

It was for the loss of his grandfather I believe.

    Thanks, I noticed he kissed the armband after his last goal.

    How about a gloat-free moment. 

    Re Max going over the mark, I didn't quite catch it, but I thought he just jumped leaning forward and his feet did not go over the mark even when he landed.   If that is right I'm surprised that the rule prohibits that. It must happen all the time when a player just waves his arms about.

    Nah, return to gloating.

    Tbh id have to look at a replay. It didn't look like he'd transgressed.  I just thought the idiot had kicked too close.

    Nah he was over by a foot.

    Waiting for Joeboy. Befuddled by Tyson's absence?

    Great Win. Huge scores back to back. Percentage is red hot. Momentum on our side. Everyone lined up for a goal or 4.

    Go Dee's!

    Hawks have to win by 6 goals+ to knock us back to 4th.

    I was sitting in line and it did look like it. The the kick wss low trajectory anyway so made it lookcworse.

    Lever was superb with the intercept marking today.

     

    The Max Gawn 50m incident after the first qtr and Viney going in and fighting 10 carlton blokes at once was inspiring.

     

    Petracca needs to play as a forward more. If he was a decent set shot he'd avg 2 goals a game as a medium forward which is close to All Australian form.

     

    Neal-Bullen, Harmes, T. Smith and Hannan all superb. Spargo was chasing Carlton players relentlessly when the game was over, it's something we haven't done when in these situations.

     

    We are basically playing Richmonds manic pressure with 4 talls. Says something about the athleticism and endurance our big boys have.

    Oliver had an operation during the week on his finger - which was fractured apparently. Pretty impressive that he could get up for today’s game and still be as clean as ever!

    We are so well balanced now and have so many options up forward and in the middle that guys like Hogan and Petracca and such don’t have to have match winning performances.

    The additions of Lever down back and the form of TMac and Melksham make us very hard to match up on , and Brayshaw is almost our best mid right now.

    That was the win we have been working toward for a while. We have definitely announced ourselves to the football world. We may finally get a mention from the media, that would be weird!

    I am so looking forward to next week and measuring ourselves against a top 4 side. Viney will be better for having blown out the cobwebs and will hopefully be back to his bollocking best. 

    Lever! Really starting to click now and our defence is starting to look really solid. I just didn't know what to do with myself at the ground, my body wanted to be nervous and stressed but there was nothing to get stressed about, it was the strangest feeling. I want more!

    Go Dees!

    Yep, and quite demonstrative about it.  Clearly meant a great deal to him

    HA HA get Fücked Carscum!

    Well you are going to love how Brisbane are going against the Hawks then. If this keeps up Carlton will find themselves dead set last on the ladder!

    His feet didn’t move - he leant forward.

    What a delight! Such a joy to watch. The dam wall burst last week and now I think we see a side that wants to get the most out of every game. Milkshake was brilliant, T-Mac clinical, ANB has the radar back. Super impressed with Lever, every time he gets a fist on it he removes the danger. Brayshaw playing with more confidence. An amazing team effort, these guys are all playing for each other right now.

    Got a big boy team next week, hopefully we take this momentum into it.

    In all seriousness, watched on TV and haven't seen that kind of massacre on a footy field since the Neeldy days (wrong side) and Daniher days (right side).

    We should wear the royal blue every week. I made a deal with myself, if we win this week I buy one and get it shipped overseas. Looking forward to its arrival.

    And Bailey days! (Roos Swans)

    • 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.
