    I think he is considered one of the best though isn't he?

    I really really really hate the AFL. This competition is becoming impossible to enjoy. It’s a good thing Melbourne is competitive right now or I would seriously consider walking away. It’s becoming increasingly more difficult to enjoy. 

    You and me both.

    if I didn’t love the MFC I mean Narm FC I could just about walk away from footy.

    Realistically though, what is stopping our boys from diving headfirst at the ball, taking a knee to the head, getting the free and getting a player out for the week. 

    Looking at our boys Vines could take 20 knees before a concussion, Sparrow around 10 I reckon just don't let Gus get involved.

    With injuries starting to mount, may I request that the boys have a week off from MRP activity into the Carlton game.

    Our players get suspended for contesting the footy tho, so I’m not sure what the alternative is. 
    I mean they could put on a Pies jumper and change their name to Daicos then they can punch opponents freely.

    We’d be pinned for taking the legs

    Given its only a week, I think we'll cop it on the chin. It's BS, but that's AFL

    The flipside is that if we believe we can successfully appeal then it will send the Tribunal a clear message to uphold future suspensions at its peril.

    Agree, also as Melbourne FC our supporter base should have better lawyers than our competitors providing a comparative advantage.

    No it’s not yours 

    You don’t even get a say in what your team is called these days 

    You don’t get consulted before your club board makes public statements about issues that are unrelated to football

    You are useful only for your membership $

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
