Turner and Petty as the 1 and 2 in the forward line is my preference. Give a trial for the next month. JVR had his chance and I reckon needs to have a solid month in the 2โ€™s.

Fritta is on thin ice too. Should have had 4-5 goals tonight.

Milkshake, probably gets rubbed out because itโ€™s MFC.

If petty is concussed he'll be out as well as melky.

Might be a turner/aj or turner/roo fwd line next week.

Fritsch will keep his spot especially if melky gets rubbed out

Foxtel talking about Melksham, McGovern incident...

Jack Riewoldt doing his best to verbal a suspension for Melksham

[censored]!

I'm not saying this is actually the case but I swear it feels like it's always a Melbourne player that the media try to make an example of for a suspension. Melksham did an act that Riewoldt would've done hundreds of times in his career, he didn't shove him into a contest to hurt him, he tried to out body the guy.

I feel like people take Gawn for granted sometimes. I really don't think it's likely we're ever going to have a ruckman like him ever again.

It's crazy to think that he might have the same number of AA selections as Ablett Jnr and Buddy Franklin by the end of the year.

I'm obviously biased, but for me he's the GOAT. Cox barely did half the stuff Gawn does around the ground.

That Will Schofield is a peanut, apologies to peanuts.

Wants Melksham suspended, suggested several times Spargo gave a Weagle a cheap shot after the whistle was blown. Spargo put a tackle on half a second after the whistle was blown and he claims it a cheap shot. That guy is so infuriating I nearly needed a new

I've got no idea what we did to Jack Riewoldt but he absolutely hates us. The only thing I can think of he pretty much always played a stinker against us except for one game in 2017.

He's just a [censored]

Should also mention Daniel Turner. Iโ€™m not sure if he even counts as a young guy anymore and heโ€™s never going to be paid millions of dollars or get AA blazers, but a guy who play to a high level at either end of the ground AND KICK STRAIGHT is worth his weight in gold to this team, and any team going forward. Must be in the 23 for rest of the year.

I must say, I think May is near the end.

He's always panicked with frontal pressure and he's never been a good user, but he no longer really wins contests either.

It might be a big call, but I think if we're to get better this year, May will find himself on the fringe of the 22 by the end of 25.


It has to be said that making Viney a tagger has completely turned his form around. I feel like it took Goody too long to swing that move but now that he has done it Jack looks so much more like the player he is, it feeds on his competitive spirit and best of all Jack is good enough to hurt the player the other way if given the chance.

How good are Lindsay and Langford going, absolute Jets

Lindsay was quieter tonight but barely put a foot wrong.

Langford is a jet. That left boot of his is class.

Ashcroft aside, both are real chances for the Rising Star this year.

Think itโ€™s just the same thing with every footy personality or whatever you want to call themโ€”weโ€™re an easy target.

Relatively small club which means they wonโ€™t cop any major pushback like they would if they went after a big 4 club but still famous enough that people will pay attention to stories about us. Stereotype of rich/posh supporters and not considered a loveable โ€œsecond teamโ€ so nobody else wants to defend us like they might with St Kilda or Footscray.

Melksham also didnโ€™t shove him into the path of leading players, which has been the case in all of the other incidents. It would be absolutely crazy to suspend him.

May definitely looks to be reaching his cliff, I think it's important that we start to think of the next phase with him and whether that is him taking the number one defender. I like Petty and Disco as swing men, but I actually want them to both be defenders first with the swing there if needed. Ironically Petty seems to play better if he starts as a defender.

I disagree. The modern game suits him perfectly.

He is ultra athletic for a tall lad. Beautiful kick and mark. He has every opportunity to become a high value player. Just needs the experience and belief.

I really have high hopes for him.

It would be so Michael Christian for him to give Melk a one weeks suspension, I have no faith in him making the right call.

This is how I felt tonight. I think we just really need to cherish every game we see him in from now until boot hang up time. This is something seriously special.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fieryย interaction between Max Gawn and Steven Mayย at the end of the gameย was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourneโ€™s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on Kingโ€™s Birthday.
