I hope the whole lot arrives before tomorrow arvo.

It's a Melbourne-Collingwood game I fear I'm going to be preferring to watch.

Mind you, wouldn't a 2025 'Froggy' Crompton be nice tomorrow!😁

    Did the 9 news say it was the full copy found or only the 2nd half?

    Drop kick goals on the run, Wow who would have thought

    And no surprise how many times a Melbourne footballer is downed after he kicks the ball. Hassa Mann absolutely dominating such a great footballer

    How heavenly ironic, finding it in Perth, where we found our 13th premiership.

    So who won the Norm Smith Medal that day ??

    I thought John Townsend (16) played really well. Ran like Robbie. What a pity he did his knee. Came back but not as good.

    Actually XL runs like him today, fast , light on his feet, balanced and has sgility

    Thst was a fishing comment,

    But who then in Norm Smiths eyes was bog. It was not Neil Crompton cos he was out of position. But he did (apparently) follow his man down the field.

    Not sure I was not there. Melbourne were always in finals and I was a bit blase about it.

    Even if I did not know it st the time

    Go Dee’s. Win it again today. It is our Granny.

    Neil Compton BOG in dying stages of the match. Kicks match winning goal, big contested interception mark in final minute to push Demons forward and strong tackle in dying seconds to thwart desperate final charge by Collingwood. Stuff of heroics. A couple of irrelevant observations of the game were ticker tape to celebrate goals, smoking on the coaches bench.

    Not sure BOG But a definite hero, and he did win the match for us. Absolutely no doubt

    Hassa Mann. Played well but John Townsend. Brian Kennealy and Ken Emselle Were my favourites

    wouldn’t it be good for history to repeat

    Looked like either Hassan Mann or Brian Dixon as bog? Dixon was said to have had a great 1st half.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
