  1. Laid a late-ish combined tackle/bump on McIntosh and looks to have hurt his ribs.
  2. https://www.afl.com.au/news/1074841/2024-afl-rule-changes-the-brayden-maynard-rule-confirmed-run-down-tackles-in-focus-no-mid-season-trade-period I know there have been other threads but now we have the full list. I wanted to point out a big one that people may miss that is huge for our club - that is that straight arm blocks are once again permitted at a ruck contest. We all know how Max used to use this to his advantage, and how regularly he'd get free kicks against him when they changed the rule, despite him attempting to modify his technique. Now that it's back, I expect to see a quite a bit of Max dominance through the ruck yet again.
  3. Is this 'draft night' just an open bar for a bunch of 18 year olds and their mates?
  4. How do you fail to put someone in the ruck at a defensive stoppage 20m out?
  5. Christian Petracca swearing wasn't on my bingo card.
  6. Yep, 2015, 2017, 2019 & 2023.
  7. Congrats Trac! Now for Trac to kick some more goals next year and rightly show he's the best player in the comp!
  8. Despite coming second in the BnF surely this was Viney's best ever year for us.
  9. Gawn not top 5. Put the house on Viney 2nd, Trac 1st.
  10. [censored] I love Steven May.
  11. Considering that nothing has been made official there's not much that they could say.
  12. Highlights of our last 5 rounds is brutal for what could have been. Petty and Melksham winning us games, then didn't feature. Pain.
  13. Can Hibbo be our runner next year?
  14. Can we re-sign Deakyn Smith as a rookie?
  15. West Australians sweeping the awards, maybe we should just move to Perth.
  16. McVee & Roo share the best young player award.
  17. All premiership players & senior coaches will now be given lifetime membership, regardless of whether they play 100+ games. Includes AFLW.
  18. He said he wouldn't be at the BnF if he wasn't doing okay so take from that what you will.
  19. Gus stating that he's doing OK, great to see.
  20. 100% fine on my end. Try viewing on the website. https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/1447355/live-stream-best-and-fairest
  21. Just looked at the stats and we had 7 players who didn't have a single tackle recorded. Blues had 1. Their main ruckman.
  22. At least ANB chases and puts pressure on the opposition. Langdon zero tackles.
  23. FWIW I am not a lawyer but from everything I've read it feels like they probably could have a pushed a little harder if they were serious about getting a result. Gleeson mentioning that Maynard may miss "a couple of important games" depending on their decision just seems like planting a seed of doubt in the tribunal member's minds, almost as if you're sabotaging your own case. What prosecutor says to a jury "but consider the hurt incurred if the guilty person has to go to jail"
  24. So not only did the Collingwood lawyer go down the victim blaming path, the tribunal did as well? FMD what a joke.
  25. "I make absolutely no apologies for the fact that this has taken nearly three hours. A footballer was concussed and stretchered from the MCG in a final, another footballer has got a couple of pretty important games he’ll either play in or miss depending in part on what we decide tonight."
