Just Great. FFS Can’t these players read and understand situations??

You mean like isolating for 14 days, oh no, it didn't actually say that did it

Never made a mistake in your life right Mr Infallible

Kozzy and Spargo just learnt a lesson the hard way

    Breach??? 
    16 Crows players all breached the rules as well as the coaches. Their excuse? None, “we got it wrong”.  And their punishment?? Be more careful next time.  It’s ridiculous 

    Hahaha this..

    You know Vic bias and all.. ?‍♂️

    GO AWAY. 

     

    Your answers are the same, regardless of what people leave on here

    Players would have been given strict guidelines to adhere to  

    Don’t Visit Friends  That is it...

    Not difficult is it?

    It has nothing to do with me

    BUT DON’T YOU GO ANYWHERE NEAR THEM....

    Aside from covid issues, I hope the fags were just curiosity or temporary lapse. I bought a pack for the first time in 5 years last night after too many beers. Had a few predictably digusting puffs and then through the packet in the bin. Bloody waste of money.

    Spargo being a regular smoker might explain why he doesn't have the energy to kick it 30m!

    Sorry mate, I thought it would be obvious that I was taking the pi$$....although his growth appears to have been stunted doesn’t it.

    Having said that, I’m glad you made that decision. A wise one indeed...

    Smoking is now solely the domain of the super-wealthy.

     

    Which is Fantastic. However if you're in a European country where it's unfortunately dirt cheap, the smoking is ubiquitous and just dirty to have to walk through!

    Gotta hand it to Spargo.

    Puts in a round 1 performance at a level not seen since Isaac Weetra circa 2008.

    Then coerced our premier albeit young small forward into attending a house party via an Uber during pandemic -  hence robbing us a key piece of the puzzle in somehow jagging our first win in 11 months.

    I don’t think we’ll be seeing young Charles for a number of weeks.

    So you're saying multimillion dollar industries are somehow more important than me when it comes to making laws to protect the citizens from Covid 19!

    Absolutely true.

    We'll have to call him 009 if he's conspiring to undermine and usurp Kozi for his position. ?

    I would put Lockhart or Sparrow in as replacement.

    Unfortunately you’re not a multimillion $$$ industry/game (lol) supporting thousands of people ww.

    So it follows that Rio Tinto's detonation of ancient caves is acceptable because they're a multimillion $$$ industry and the laws that protect them are not to be confused with the laws that protect individuals from desecration of their spiritual sites.

    Pickett should serve another club week’s suspension in the practice match format, teach him from a young age not following proper AFL protocol is unacceptable.

    Is the whole Geelong team going to be suspended because the they broke social distances rules after their first two goals against the Hawks tonight?

    It has to be done. Given no social distancing at training or games is possible, all it takes is one positive test to shut down the entire competition. 
     

    Say Pickett gets infected by the friend he visited. He tests positive and therefore everyone at the club and the opposition side we played have to be tested and quarantine. That means two teams at a minimum are out of the competition for up to two weeks, which means virtually the entire AFL has to close for two weeks. It’s a disastrous situation and I agree with the AFL’s hard line. 

    The outrage on here from my fellow Dees supporters is outrageous. The protocols have been put in place to keep all of us safe for all of society’s good, and we have hugely benefited from this having one of the lowest infection rates in the world. 
     

    This goes way beyond our parochial AFL interests, this is for the benefit of our whole society and we should be all immensely grateful that our governments have stepped up to the mark in a way the governments of the US and UK have not. 
     

    The self interest of our football team is minuscule by comparison, but we should all be proud that our club has done the responsible thing and self reported, in spite of several moronic comments on here along the lines “here we go again the MFC being insipid compared to the hard heads of the competition”. 
     

    Social media is so incredibly stupid sometimes. Our supporters should be proud of our values, but sadly some are not.

    What a mess, a really young team selected (which is a risk) and then players being silly can derail all the work the coaching staff have put into the planning for the first game.

    I’m even madder now that because of Kosi’s stupidity I now have to watch ANB stink it up. Bloody hell!

    They are paid a huge salary that we contribute to so follow the simple f k n rules that have been put in place for you to continue to work.

    The worst part is when we lose, by a goal when ANB misses a set shot after the siren everyone will blame Kossi.

    I understand but i think it’s ridiculous. 

    The players aren’t even allowed to take their kids to the park.

    Many people throwing barbs when I dare say most would have been the first to whinge about being in isolation

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
