What was the deal with the Fitzroy run through WCW? Particularly the back side. It looked like a 5 year old kids school project. 

LOL. Their backing looks like faded plastic picnic tablecloths glued together, and the graphic… I don’t know what the hell that was, but close up it was tiny and unclear so I can only imagine how bad it looked from afar.

    I have a lot of time for Caroline Wilson. She is a proper journalist.

    She had a niche - the politics of football, and is still the best at reporting on the back room stuff.

    Unfortunately her niche has become the template and has metastasised into the gutter gossip peanuts like to Tom Morris trade in. 

    Click bait chasing ****knuckles

    Respect your  opinion but somehow I feel she is the "mouthpiece" of the AFL when they want certain stories "out there".

    Only 39k but at the ground the dees fans were brilliant and super loud in the last quarter.

    I have zero doubt it was a big factor.

    Good work dees fans. 

    I concur. Especially in the last few minutes of the 4th qtr. After Viney's gutsy and gobsmackingly inspirational effort and goal when he literally ripped the ball from Oscar McInernay's hands, spun, got clear and kicked truly on his right foot, the deafening chanting of "Melbourne (clap clap clap)" either side of me was a stereophonic head-spin that saw bolts unriveting from the support poles on level 2 the Olympic Stand  The volume further surpassed WH&S limits when Melksham marked and goaled to put us in front. And then, to top things off, when we'd won, the Demon faithful singing the song so loud that it drowned out the version coming from loudspeakers will be something I NEVER forget. What a win. What a way to introduce a mate to the footy and entice him to become a MFC supporter. What a memory to treasure. Onwards and upwards, go the mighty Dees!

    Anybody still around that remembers a bloke called Tassie Johnson.

    Well he was there for a few minutes in spirit in that last Qtr.

    Ah. That brylcreem hair style. Had many chats to him after matches way back when.

    I feel like we rarely win games like that so it was such a nice change to be the one who stole it as opposed to being stolen against. When I woke up this morning had to check again that it wasn’t a dream and we really did come back and win it.

    The Rnd 23 2021 win will always be my favourite come from behind win but last night is right up there. Reminiscent of the 2000 QF victory.

    The 3AW call on Viney is just so so good!

    (They call Melksham JVR in the call of the Melksham grab though 😂)

    Prefer the MMM call as they turn the crowd noise up for a better reaction.

    How good was Rivers play to rebound off HB to make that forward play that resulted in the Milkshakes mark and goal. 

    Kid will be a recognised star of the competition soon enough 

    Lucky you. An early dinner after work and settling down for an early match. Early enough for the kids want to watch if there "Dee's".

    I just shake my head with some of that Underwood women's comments. Brian Taylor is looking not too bad against her.

    My only gripe was JVR got a massive shove directly in front which wasn’t paid and then Daniher got his later on.

    Both were free kicks but only one was paid. 
     

    Overall, the umpiring we have had this has been good, the Richmond game was by far the worst.

    Even though our instincts can often only see one way, we need to see the other side of the ledger as well.  Therefore, the Lions supporters would have also expected more free kicks.  They are no different to us

    The disecting of the actual game in a tactical sense is way way more interesting

    Last night's game was a beauty and of high standard.  Umpired well although there were a few errors (the players made more errors)

    In my view if the umps can get it right 8 out of 10 times they're doing well.  In other sports the expectation might be 9 out of 10

    It's daylight to the next hardest game to officiate.  Nothing comes close

    I was at the lights outside the Gabba last week, Zorko and Rayner and some others were waiting at the lights right next to me, I put the passenger side window down and said “Hey Zorko, keep Pettys mothers name out your [censored] mouth” he told to jam it but the other boys loved it.

    I thought I couldn’t possibly despise him any more than I already do. But, here we are.

    This is why Andy keeps paying those server bills - to highlight heroic efforts like this.

    That had nothing to do with the game - he had his Roaming Brian mic on in the toilet.

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.
