Love these multi-calls.

I hope watching that over so many times in quick succession helps those moaning about BBB going up with one hand so often understand just how important it is to our team.  He stopped the oppisiiton marking it.  He stopped the oppisiiton punching it away to the pockets.  He brings it down to the place that the smalls are and the goal results.  It may not be pretty or classical but it is what needed.  If he is not in the position to mark it cleanly, his job is to stop the oppitision mark and keep the ball in the area.  Going up with one hand acheives that.

Would we like a few more marks and goals, sure but when he can't mark it's obvious he concentrates on bringing it to ground.

    Isn't it nice to have a call where the commentary team aren't openly barracking against us?

    Commentary nearly always leans towards the underdogs and teams on the rise.  We had our turn last year.  I'm hoping to not hear a another pro-Nelbourne call for many, many years.

    I think the ABC version is my favourite.

    Cheers to @The Mighty Demons for the edit!

    How does this bloke find the room for these kicks?

    Those blokes seemed remarkably relaxed compared to me at the time.

    I was hiding under the doona.

    I loved the footage on AFL360 last night showing Goody pumping up the guys in the briefing room after the game

    It was Melksham who got the ball out to Kossie. I thought that was possibly the key part of the play, as he could easily have tried to keep possession to ensure a ball up, but he kept his head and made a conscious effort to get the ball to Pickett instead.

    Having reviewed the footage several times, I now believe she was beseeching the Carlton recruiters to "Get Fritsch!"

    I thought she was suggesting the blues replace Voss as coach with Rutten.

    Good call.

    The other key was BB not allowing an intercept mark or clearing punch.

    a question:

    the goal that was disallowed and ball returned to half fwd / wing for throw-in

    was it because:

    1. ben brown marked over the line?

    2. ben brown played on from outside the line when he wasn't behind the mark?

  • Quote

    That was bloody awesome!

    Love how Kozzi gave it to his opponent rather than celebrate. No idea how he kicked straight after being ripped to the ground during the kick

    radio calls so much better than tv

    I think he marked it outside the line anyway but i think the actual free was because he played on outside the line which players do all the time.

    That was right I front of me and it was so confusing. 

    Also, Melk kicked a ripping goal as a result that was disallowed. It would have given him another goal, and it was a crying shame because his game was incredible and he deserved 5 goals. I really think he won us that game.

    Things that come to mind.

    Hunts explosivenesses.

    Kosi not flying for the mark and remaking front and centre.

    BBB could of marked it.

    Presence of mind from Melksham to hold it in until he saw Demon colours.

    The one hand pick up from Kosi.

    Sorry Mr. Bombay, but it's could HAVE not could OF.

    You'll have to forgive me picking you up on this oft-repeated grammatical howler.

    I suffer from CDO, you see.  It's like OCD but the letters are in alphabetical order as they should be.  :D

    • 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.
