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.

    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 .

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
