I rarely start a topic, but watching Cox, Maynard and Zorko last weekend got me thinking.
Who are the AFL villains by club? And who would supporters of other clubs say is their Melbourne villain?

So I’ve nominated Cox and Maynard for Collingwood and Zorko for Brisbane.
Let’s share our opinions for all 18 clubs.

    Cripps anti-hero more than a villain. He did not deserve the Brownlow.

    T Greene from GWS.

    Tex Walker Adelaide.

    I’ve really grown to like Toby Greene. He’s grown up and quite frankly he’s a superstar. If he played for a team someone cared about he’d be winning Brownlows.


    Dane Zorko for mine. I hate him with the fire of a thousand suns. 

    I won’t name all the Pies players I despise because the list is very long. Moore and the Daicos boys are about the only 3 I don’t want to see suffer long miserable unsuccessful careers.

    Tom Papley only because of that stupid face he makes when he kicks a goal.

    Hawkins for sure - ask May how he managed to get a broken jaw from a "loose" handball.

    I would have put Powell-Pepper for a long time, but I think I have to learned to respect him a bit.

    17 clubs. We don’t have one. 
     

    Edit - Jesus what was I thinking. Angus brayshaw. That thug living a thug life is a stone cold killah who disguises his sniper hits on oppo players with footy acts like kicking only to try and head butt defenceless players (airborne frisbees ) in their shoulders. What a pr1ck!

    I always think about this, and struggle because I really think they're a good bunch. I can imagine people think Clarry's a bit of a punk, and maybe Viney because he's hard at it. Very far from villains though. Weirdly a couple of people I know can't stand Fritta, who to me has always been the most quiet of achievers. Only one that annoys me is old conspiracy Tom, but as a friend of mine once commented, "He's our  [censored]head".

    Of course he is not a villain, but I think that's who opposition supporters probably would choose from our list.

    I hate Hawkins the footballer, but he’s actually a genuinely beautiful human off the field. Much like May actually. 

    He went above and beyond for my friend’s little boy when he was diagnosed with cancer (he’s a Geelong supporter). I’ll always be really grateful for how wonderful he was with him all the way thru his battle.

    It’s because a lot of opposition supporters are balding middle aged men with self esteem issues

    He is a dumb [censored], he’s also an eye gouger, talks rubbish and openly cheats on his partner. 0 stars.

    I saw on one of the “What they’re saying at…” posts, that someone said our Fritter had a punchable head. 😖

    Because Clarry has many times before taken a dive. I get it, it’s annoyed me at times too.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
