    Why was Charlie Cameron put on an angle there after marking in the goal square? Don't the umpires know the rules?

    Don’t we all know that?

    We need to finish 4th to meet cats in QF which is highly unlikely. 2nd or 3rd only. With cats on top.

    96 point loss for Marc Murphy in his final game.

    Poor guy. He's been a warrior for the Blues in the same way Jones has been for us. 

    Hey DJ . . . I love you  . . . . . but . . . . . .

    Jones is in another football universe compared to Murphy. For a number one draft pick, Murphy has been 'good ordinary' at best.

    So. Assuming we win tomorrow (I know, I know), if we lose next week and Port beat Doggies, we’re off to Adelaide. Fate in our hands and all that. Unless Dogs beat Port, which they will….maybe…..not….probably….aaaaah, who the [censored] knows. 🤯

    Dogs need to be careful. If Brisbane win big tonight, there is a chance Dogs could end up 5th if they lose to Port

    To win tomorrow and sew up top 3 would be mint. I’m guess dogs beat port week after so even if we lose to port we finish 2nd at worst to Geelong and I think play dogs week 1? Dogs are gettable now as are Geelong. Port looking dangerous over there but it was Carlton. Halcyon days ahead friends !

    The Jones vs Murphy comparison is a reminder that no matter how bad you have it, someone has it worse.

    As bad as it has been, no way Jones swaps his career for Murphy's.

    What about the staging? Any word on Hawkins?

    Both will get off under the “Innocent Cat veteran” rule.

    Lol Dangerfield could get reported for striking and the end result would be the other guy gets weeks for head-butting his fist.

    As for the Cats and Carlton (the time of my last post), if something is too good to be true then usually it is. Carlton stopped dead.

    Both arms pinned in the tackle and slams his head into the ground causing concussion. He was unable to protect himself as he fell and therefore Hawkins had duty of care not to cause head injury. Would be 2 weeks if named Neal-Bullen

    Can someone with a better understanding of the rules explain to me how this play by Hawkins isn't a free kick for taking his eyes off the ball in a marking contest?

    This is a genuine question.

    Thought the same at the time. Almost an old fashioned shirt front isn't it?

    Not going for the ball at all. How he gets away with it is beyond comprehension

    Didn't Steven May give away a free kick doing exactly this?

    mmmmm

    could Brisbane unseat the Bulldogs (now that is doing a melbourne)

    percentage is a difficult thing because it requires a calculation  of for and aginst but it strikes me that a win by more than 60 sets up a fascinating last round

    And what's his first reaction? Throw arms up, fall backwards to try and win a free himself. He's a deadset germ, how the players have voted for him as their rep is beyond me.

    I don't think they are the GMHBA rules Mazer.

    Maybe the ump was blindsided while standing 3m away from the incident?

    • 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.
