I wouldn’t play him in the middle. Not a great contested ball player. 

Hope they persist with him in the middle for next week against Carlton, the Blues aren't known for contested ball footy 😁

    WTF is rough conduct?

     Every contest Cox is in could be described as that. 

    Thought he said ruck conduct 😂.

    Cox does that often doesn’t he?

    Is there a softer player in the league than Nick Daicos?

    No defensive pressure from either side yet. Some great foot skills, great running handball chains, and clutch finishing, but so few stoppages, tackles or team defensive pressure. Refreshing in a way. Except that it is the Filth v Bummers.

    Imagine the odds you could have received on Collingwood and Brisbane not making the finals.

    $50 would possibly by you a yacht.

    I would love for both of these sides to lose!

    what would I prefer,   Mason to accidentally collect Stringer or Maynard, why can’t I have both.

    McRae game plan

    go down by 35 points

    get the players fired up

    get the crowd behind them

    win by 2 points

    How is that a free kick? Both looking at the ball,  body impact at the same time as the ball. There was no interference.

    They relied on that method in 2022 and it ended up biting them on the backside in the prelim vs Sydney.

    Hipwood? Considering he’s probably 5+ inches taller and 10+ kg heavier?

    Brayshaw: "Daicos walks through about five"

    What I saw: Takes possession, wheels past one and disposes poorly.

    Was wondering the same thing. Both eyes on the ball. Why is front on contact always paid to the “forward” running player?

    • 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.
