    AFL.com.au - Clayton Oliver records 30 disposals for the first time since Round 2. His match tonight included 31 disposals at 81 efficiency, four clearances, 17 contested possessions, eight score involvements, 32 pressure acts and four inside 50's.

    Epic 2nd half. Proved me wrong. We need him to do that to ale coaches rethink the Trac tag.

    What a wonderful wonderful night for the club. To all the naysayers last week, go gives yourselves a long hard look in the mirror. We're going deep into September this year.

    I apologise for the doom and gloom in the match thread, I just can't help it. Everything about this game pointed to another heartbreaking, self inflicted loss.

    Thank god it wasn't.

    Petty the MVP.

    What happens in the match thread, stays in the match thread.

    How good is Fritter’s body work. Very few in the league with his smarts as to where to be, but also how to use his body which is particularly significant given he’s not a big guy. Amazing forward. Given credit for sure, but largely unheralded.

    The boys apart from some goal kicking executed a great game plan to beat the cats. Kudos to the boys and Goody 

    Great win. Goal kicking, needs finishing attention now, as at least four resultant behinds were due to the kick being taken too close to the man-on-the-mark. Deliver a little further back boys, kicking through the ball with a well-balanced run-up prior to delivery - otherwise, you will (and do) miss certainties.

    How bloody good!!!

    That Fritsch goal was insane. One of the best I’ve seen to seal a match in years!

    But we still need to improve the kicking, it was the reason we lost against Collingwood and Carlton in the finals.

    But overall a great performance.

    Big pump up.

    Been a while since I enjoyed a win that much.

    Was sitting with a mate in GA M2 and gave it to the usual Geelong peanuts who stir the pot behind there.

    Enormously entertaining.

    Had a couple frothing at the mouth.  Anyone else there?

    When the moment might have calls for letting the ball go out of bounds, great players step up and do the amazing.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
