AFL: Melbourne have continued their unbeaten run, defeating North Melbourne in an emphatic performance at Marvel Stadium.

Another week, another Melbourne win – but the rebuilding Kangaroos made things interesting for almost three quarters.

Footy legend Nick Riewoldt is not happy about the umpires paying a controversial free kick against North Melbourne in their Saturday clash with the Demons.

The Demons have suffered an injury blow with star wingman Ed Langdon subbed out of the match.

The Melbourne Football Club will rebrand as the Narrm Football Club for Sir Doug Nicholls Round, the AFL’s annual round devoted to celebrating Indigenous history and culture.

Melbourne Football Club will adopt its traditional Indigenous name for two rounds.

Melbourne Demons forward Tom McDonald has been accused of “unadulterated theft” after robbing teammate James Harmes of a certain goal during Saturday’s match against Hawthorn at the MCG.

Melbourne won last year’s premiership and is looking unstoppable again this season after a 6-0 start to its campaign.

The impending return of two premiership defenders won’t sway Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin from moving Angus Brayshaw after his emergence as an a “elite” defender.

Simon Goodwin is not concerned whether or not his side belts up on teams struggling for form or having difficulty putting their best line-ups on the park.
