I like Cripps.  He's everything you'd want in a mid fielder.  He tackles, he doesn't fumble, he can take a decent over head mark and he can kick goals.  He played a great game last night and it's not his fault he was out there.  I'm pleased we beat them with him in the team.

    And another one with virtually no publicity - I believe Jack Martin was “medical subbed off” last week. I maybe wrong but I thought  that meant a weeks rest? He shouldn’t have been playing either?

    Yeah, this rule needs an overhaul.

    Perhaps we should just do away with it, and instead have a system where clubs are granted extra interchanges for losing players to injury (dependent on when in the game it occurs). Keeps the available players fresher, and can’t be tampered with so obviously.

    You can’t have fresh players available to come into a game late. It’s asking to be corrupted.

    Ah Chee is set to miss another week due to the concussion he received, but my main concern is that the Blues / Pies game is a sellout.

    AFL got what they wanted.

    Patrick Cripps getting off last week was the real sellout.

    Carlton collingwood at MCG  listed as a sellout on tiketek.  its only Tuesday ffs.

    presumably only MCC seats + standing room available.

    could they give 100k a nudge.

    Is it because of the 12 day rule  Aug 7 to 19 or his concussion is serious. AFL is a joke. Cripps misses no games. All about ticket sales. Corruption.

    It really was, he could have refused to appeal and take his rightful whack...he could have done the right thing.

    ...but I'm also happy we beat them with him in.

    You know something? You're dead right. He could have made a massive statement by respecting the decision and supporting the narrative that head high contact like that is not on.

    At the end of the day though finals was at stake, they were going to throw everything at it.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
