We win because we were in front at half time. So if Kossie had missed we would have lost and were 32 point in front.

Not the rule. If the game is past halfway, team in front as the scores are when called off are the winners.

    Absolutely. Thank WA government and their [censored]. Could have played yesterday but no, 7 days to quarantine 🙄 coz 6 is not enough but 14 is too much. Flogs. 

    Exactly. Political posturing masquerading as Pseudoscience.

    He has been amazing today. Would almost say today has been a more complete performance than last week. 

    Rising star surely. 

    Attacking the marks, brilliant at ground level!! Loved his work tonight.

    What I was told was the game would normally continue with lightning but the metal plate in McGovern’s head attracts the lighting so the players had to clear the ground.

    How big is Kozzies goal on the siren now?

    I think it is whoever in front when they stop the game not who is in front at half time.  You need to start the 3rd qtr for it to be a result

    I know that, you know that - why don't the commentators whose job it is to know this stuff and who p;layed the bloody game know that!

    Pretty sure they changed the rules after the Essendon/St.Kilda blackout game at Waverley in the early 90s

    Not liking the idea of sending our guys back out cold, sounds like soft tissue territory.

    100% - not feeling great about this.

    Current result stands at time of stoppage if after half time

    They don't wind it back

    That's good if correct

    Xavier Ellis reported the half time result would apply

    If it ends this way it's kind of a downer just in the sense we want to roll them.

    David King is saying if I'm Melbourne I'm saying nah that's it. He said why would you want your players cooling down then running back out there. If we lose any key players to hammys or groins I will be filthy

    Is the game clock still ticking. Might be a handle trivia question for years to come, The longest ever fourth quarter in an AFL game.

    No, the ruling is that if the game has reached half time, the team in the lead when it is called off, gets the four points.

    I would have thought so too. How would it be if West coast were in front at half time yet we were 6 goals up now. You wouldn't have to worry about the anti vaccine protesters, MFC members would be coming!

    Can we all just agree to disagree and award us the win.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
