In fact maybe he should have been made to miss this game & the penny may drop on what his poor discipline costs him.

And more importantly the side.

100% spot on. Well said.

Who will ruck for the all stars?

Probably Finlayson.
I’ve seen Impey ruck before, and I wasn’t really convinced. 🤔

In the end, anyone, as long as it’s not Kozzie.

My only interest is that neither of our players get injured. 

Yes, hopefully no one is hurt from any team.
But at least we are 16x less likely than Freo.

Absolutely. mfc should stand up on this

What if a player got suspended in one of these games... would his suspension affect his next game - whether that be either another indigenous game, or merely a knee in the back home and away game?


No free to air broadcast.

A free kick to the NRL Indigenous/Maori game on channel 9.

Why are the AFL pandering to the division in society, of the haves and the nots, and the bars selling that drug.

 

If you haven’t signed up for Kayo previously, there’s currently a week free (if you’re dying to watch the game).

There is the marketing, and why they pay for the rights to broadcast it.

Would be an interesting game if they played a multi-cultural team (parent, grand parent born overseas).

As a start their tall backs look ok with Alir Alir, Mac Andrew, and Leek Alir.

Any other suggestions?

I'm sure a heavy Irish contingent would give it plenty of run!

I guess we can now say Livingstone, I presume?

He’s going alright, for a 199cm ruck. 🤔


No FTA when AFL made a few points of declining Indigenous players in AFL.

A real missed opportunity for exposure given it's been 10 years since the last Indigenous All Stars game, and who knows it could be another generation when the next game is played.

I assume this is a joke. Right??

It mostly is but there were two tackles laid by Kozzie that could’ve easily ended in concussion.

Kozzie had some great moments while May finally had a win over Freo’s forward line.

Yeah I’m not 💯 sure but I could swear there was a lunging bump in the 3 quarter. It is a bit reckless.

Otherwise I thought Kozzy played ok in his hybrid MF/forward role.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
