Can't agree with that RJay (although I detect underlying sarcasm)

Bernie's (quite legal) shirtfront on Daisy is something to behold and something you'd never see our Dom do.

Hogan, Look closer please

Hogan underrated by most, or they just don’t see, he was involved in many of the goals, he’s a gun.......

Agreed he played a better than serviceable game today, but I wish he would stop playing for free kicks. Just suck it up princess and beat them next time, it's one flaw in his game that makes me cringe.

Just having a bit of a go at 'joeboy' 'small'...

He needs new a whipping boy.


Max Gawn

What did he do to cause the 50 metre penalty? Watched it several times on replay and I am none the wiser. What did I miss?

Watching replay and reckon Hogan handpassed and passed to goalkickers at least 8 times, he played beautifully

He has been much improved with this and his body language this season, however, on 2 occasions he went back to his old ways.

The first was when he didn't get the free kick and stopped playing to complain to the umpires. It was a clear free kick but you have to play to the whistle.

The second was when Simpson was 1 on 2 or 1 on 3 and Hogan went to ground way too easily.

Hard to fault any players performance on a day like this. Very satisfying win.

Haven't seen it but on the radio broadcast (SEN) they thought the umpire had believed Gawn had stepped over the mark. The commentators talked about how Gawn took a couple of steps back and then came forward the same number of steps when McKay took the kick. However, they didn't confirm whether Gawn actually stepped over the mark or not. 

PS: The SEN early Sunday game commentary team is not bad. Gerard Whately and Peter Donegan calling the action with Adam Cooney adding interesting comments from the boundary. They also have Danny Frawley but I don't see that he adds much value. My favourite Frawley-ism of the day was when he claimed during the game that all the Melbourne  forwards had kicked at least one goal. At that time Hogan, Smith and Spargo hadn't.

he didn't step forward, but he did jump forward just as mckay kicked. was about a foot or so. there is one video sequence (side on) that clearly shows this.

if he hadn't gone over mckay would still have kicked into him but

I actually think the 50 worked in our favour as it triggered a scuflle. And we came out at the start of tbe 2nd Q fired up.

I still think he was within the actual mark..his action made it look otherwise perhaps...ie.he moved forward....but for me it was from behind the mark.

All moot now.

 

Max was right . Umpire wrong.

McKay judged to kick where Max stood...NOT allowing where the mark was.

Max a little clever was denied by umpire error.

Add to the revelations this year that he is one of the best field kicks in the side.

  • 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.
