I hope any spoil that goes high against us on the weekend, that Melbourne supporters kick and scream for a report.

Bypass the appeals board, they’re on the afl take and take it straight to the Supreme Court. Then sue the AFL for gross incompetence.

Spare a quick thought for the kid. A handful of games, now walks away from the tribunal thinking he’s done something wrong. They obviously didn’t believe a word he said otherwise he’d be playing this week. 
I hope this doesn’t change the way JVR plays. 
A very disappointing decision.

This won’t change the game forever   Just using jvr as an example  to show how concerned the corporation is. No one else will get pinger for such a spoil. 

 

[censored] disgusted.

If it were another player from another team he would have got off. 

Absolute joke. 

We should appeal further again. 

Gleeson states they believe his intention is to spoil the ball.

Then he's allowed to contest the ball as per their rules, how is this not a massive contradiction. Surely we appeal again.

Club needs to come out right now and say “This is a [censored] farce and we are [censored] appealing this”

Unfortunately we are still on AFL welfare. Suspect we will get told to wear it or there could be ramifications. 
 

As soon as the Geelong guy went down I thought the Van was in trouble. Suspect the tribunal has been worded up to back the MRO after a succession of tribunal hearings overturning the MRO. 


The club must surely appeal again. Van Rooyen's only intent, as clearly shown in the video evidence, was to execute a spoil.  To suggest he committed a reportable offence is laughable. Even for the ever-inconsistent tribunal, this must surely be one of the most bizarre decisions ever made.

I am completely shocked at this - I really thought JVR had nothing to answer for let alone be rubbed out for two weeks

Concerning because it could absolutely change the way he played.

Remember Brad Miller? Was never the same player that showed showed so much promise as an aggressive CHF after he got rubbed out a few times.

 

This is where we say as a club enough is enough..

Yes...go Ballistic.  Throw everything and the sink back at this joke of an organisation.. An organisation by the way that is there to do our bidding not the other way around. Time to pull on the big pants and remind these clowns just who the F we are...and who they are.....our employees!!

Time to wake up this comp .

  • 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.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

  • 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.
