So happy for Melksham. 
When he finishes up playing, I hope we keep him on in a coaching role (maybe forward coach)

We are so Dr Jekyll and Mr Hide with our goal kicking, we either can't miss or we miss the easy ones 😅😅


god there are some miserable [censored] on the game day thread... would you take a 50 point win? Yeah... but, I'll [censored] whinge about it not being enough, and some players haven't done enough.

nah nah, I just expect a lot from my team and want to see consistent improvement.

Anyway

Youngsters keep doing well.

We don't seem to be toooo predicitable as per the earlier thread this week.

Battened down the hatches in the 4th.. but you can spin that narrative that because we're not in the 8, you need to continue and put the 'foot on the throat' to be deemed to be worthy by some supporters vs being in the 8, and it was a day at the office and responsible.

Good win especially when the youngsters were the better players. Still big question marks over Oliver and Sparrow, as well as our backline.

Bring on the Injectors next week.

Edited by Heart Beats True

the boys did amazingly, especially the kids. Second halves could use some tidying up still but super proud of them.

Standouts in rivers, windsor, kolt and JVR and theyre all 22 or under!

Bring on the Dons, we've got this.

 

Nice win and some great improvement in structure.

Windsor's game was enormous and bodes well for the future.

Next few weeks will be telling

Back in the hunt ...

Delusional 


Loved what I saw from the young kids. Kolt, Windsor and Roo fantastic. 

Last quarter without Max was always going to be a battle. Anyone know what’s wrong with him?

They mentioned he tweaked his ankle. Nothing serious, more precautionary.

We were never going to replicate the 1st quarter for the whole game. Happy with the win and form of our younger players especially. Tholstrup looking like he belongs and Windsor's best game for a while if not the year.

Hope Gawny sub was just precautionary. Hard to see any changes for next week unless Petty is ready. Woewodin maybe the only one under consideration after 1 touch as the sub but would be a touch unfair probably.

Has there ever been a backline that cracks the sheets and points at others more than this mob.

Still historically they're very good

We win those close games against lions and blues and we would be second.

What a bizarrely close season.

I liked the fact we look to move the ball quicker and at times through the corridor. The fwd line seemed less congested and we delivered it a hell of a lot better than we normally do. 
 

TMac should be offered a one year contract for next year.

Iced the ankle, didn’t look to distraught, would think with 6 day turn around precaution. Wouldn’t be surprised to see crutches/moon boot for a few days and light week for him

Ankle was being iced when he came off.

JVR’s post-game interview. What a sweetheart. 

Did you see his interview this week in the MFC social? (YouTube) 

Looks like a very mature and down to earth bloke.

I think we're gonna have a lot of youngsters in the B&F top 10!

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
