The way Selwood, Dangerfield and now Ablett in the twilight of his career play for frees really is tiring. Umpires don't play into it anymore like they did in past years. Compare Oliver, Viney, Harmes, the way they play and just get it done. Dusty is similar, Mitchell at the Hawks. They just get on with it and win the ball. Selwood has made a career out of buckling his knees and throwing his head back. Nothing sweeter then seeing him flattened like that.

There is a changing of the guard not just at Melbourne but across the league. These stars of yesteryear are being found out. More cameras and eyes than ever before and they can't get away with it. These days you have to win the ball the old fashion way. And we are primed for it. I don't think I've seen Oliver carry on the way Selwood does and has his whole career. Hogan is probably the only player in the team that seems to expect a free ride from the umpires.

 

Oliver had 3 moments were he went in so [censored] hard and won the ball each time. I think all of them were against Joel aswell.

Now all the casual AFL fan's who think teams like Geelong are good just because of the names they have can see the new breed. Oliver, Brayshaw, Harmes, Viney, Trac, Vanders, Hannan and Weids all had moments tonight.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.
