    very interested to see how we go against the aints in a few weeks

    they seem to be able to get a man - usually 'missy' higgins - out the back on a regular basis, and max king's height + mobility might actually be a tough match-up for may; i wonder whether petty might be a better match-up

    They look like we should be able to do our usual thing - strangle them and prevent too many clean I 50s to King in particular

    Agreed he has improved.  We'll have to wait until we play them to see how it pans out!

    As above - strangle them.

    First-world problems, but are the Giants' official 'orange and charcoal' colours a con-job? They look orange and blue to me.

    He said it hit the ground and he was correct. 

    So now you can’t even say something which happened?

    That sort of decision is only going to decrease respect, not improve it. 
    Absolute rubbish.

    He could tell the umpire he is short and ugly too.

    It's not a defence.

    I love BT’s attention to detail:

    Mentioned this is the first AFL game in Canberra for 2 years, since before COVID.

    Pretty sure GWS played Dogs in Canberra on a Friday night in round 6 last year. A game which  BT himself would’ve commentated,  being a Friday night game.

    I'm waiting for the AFL directive to broadcasters not to replay contentious free kicks.

    How was what he did dissent tho? He wasn’t rude. He wasn’t demonstrative. He wasn’t argumentative. He stated a fact and he was correct. 
    The rule is now “don’t talk to umpires”? If it is fine, but last week it was don’t put arms out, and I’ve seen 3 already go unpunished. 

    The dissent rule is impossible to umpire consistently.

    Yes I was there with the advantage of not having to listen to BT

    Needs to urgently replaced with abuse.  Disrespect is just so subjective. Is rolling the eyes allowed?

    Don't complain about umpiring decisions. It doesn't matter how justified you think you are in telling the umpire that he is wrong, just don't do it. 

    Simple.

    • 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.
