I really miss Gawn. 

I was against getting Grundy but he was very influential tonight  I am very bloody happy to have him

    If that Fritta shot went through it would have been 20 goals in a game two weeks in a row. Not bad for a team that has no forward line and can't score.

    I reckon it did go through if the only angle they showed was the one they used to say it didn’t. Shocking quick and wrong call.  A review of the review should be called for by the AFL Iif it had any spine.

    Is Bailey Fritsch the most clutch player inside forward 50?

    He is easily the most underrated forward in the game.

    Clean ball user in scruffy situations thats for sure. Hes very consistent.

    ...and just a superb kick for goal.

    To my eye, Tom Sparrow was excellent too.

    The young guys really stepping up. Sparrow, Rivers and McVee. Don't you love good drafting and development? 👌

    Didn't love our fumbling, but loved our defensive intent and our slingshot the other way.

    Happy to bank that win and move on.

    And I love it how the commentators played it down by saying how it was a nice quick call! Surely that goes in the same bucket of nump commentary when someone fumbles mark of the year over the goal line and they want it paid.

    The young players know the competition for spots is on and they’re all delivering. 
    Sparrow was very very good. He played on Gaff who did nothing. McVee is some sort of revelation. Rivers has really taken his game to another level and Chandler makes me happy. Has been sensational.

    When Max comes back, do we start him forward/back and give Grundy starting ruck?

    Yes Max is the #1 ruck in the game, but Grundy provides some uncertainty for opposition and Max’s body could really benefit from not being #1 ruck the longer the season goes, then come in really fresh.

    Memo to AFL

    If you're going to do goal line reviews get a camera and a replay that inserts the goal line

    that shot on the final score was atrocious

    Yep. There was another yesterday which a couple of us highlighted on the non-MFC thread. Unacceptable.

    Need a line like the ones they draw for VAR offsides in the EPL/SPL. System needs to be [censored]-proof because it’s currently administered by idiots. Fritta’s was a goal.

    On a side note, I know footy is a tough game, but gees it really broke my heart to see Hunt so sad after the game. He was a real favourite of mine at Melbourne. Always tried his hardest and clearly didn’t want to leave. 
    I wish him all the best. Thought he was very good today!

    That moment when McVee took the mark at half back and took off through the middle. It was just natural instincts and going with your gut. He made the decision that split second quicker than most and it helps he can deliver a kick too.

    It's funny because the line they draw down in VAR would actually be much better suited for the goal line in AFL.

    I never get happy when old players goal against us. I was happy when he did  I don't think he would have been that happy to be playing against us at all.

    In order to get the best out of Grundy I’d imagine he’ll be our number 1 ruck even when Gawn returns. Say 75/25 ruckwork.

    As we’ve seen the last fortnight, he’s a magnificent ruckman, and ruck only.

    An absolute killer.

    The true tragedy of his career is that he will never have the joy of receiving a pass from himself into the 50.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
