So we respected the integrity of the sub rule last year but Geelong don’t.

Why word you? It's there to be rorted.

    Life is too short to waste time hating other clubs and their supporters. Sadly, we just have to admit that the Cats are worthy premiers for 2022. But at least Melbourne still have more VFL/AFL premierships than Scott's mob.

    Warner sensational in a losing side. The rest of the Swans team embarrassingly bad.

    Honest question about where AFL football is at. Why can seemingly no players kick with their non preferred foot any more? Or are they advised not to because of some analysis of the likely outcome of using it?

    So many times players are breaking in a certain direction and have to stop and double back to get on their preferred foot.

    Why has this skill fallen away so much over the last 20 to 30 years? These guys are now full time footballers...

    Sad way to hand the reign over

    Fast track development means the talent is matched against equal talent at quite a young age.

    In the old days a coach would tell a very good player that for a season  (say under 16) play using the non preferred only.

    Just doesn't happen anymore

    And just like that, geelong now become the hunted, everyone will dissect their game plan and will play their granny against them every week, they have the weight of expectation. 

    They might be able to handle it fine but I'm glad our boys can have somewhat of a break from the overwhelming expectation we had every week.

    You could see the moment on the siren when Hawkins looked over and saw Gary Rohan, and he clearly thought to himself….

    ’I still reckon you’re an average bloke who can’t play finals, and shouldn’t have left his wife when she was pregnant with your child to shack up with our team Physio’.

    It was a nice moment.

    We did that 2 weeks ago. Straight Sets

    Totally unacceptable 

    Spot on, we could not beat the lions or Swans and we see how well they did the following couple of weeks. We can commence 2022 without that swans disaster hanging round out necks.

    What a damp squib

    Swans won't be a factor next year. Not after this shellacking.  I'm not convinced by the pies or Lions

    It's us v the cats in 2023. I'm looking forward to it already

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • 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.
