Be fine with AFL melee defying commentary (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ineffable

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'defying commentary' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'be fine with afl melee' is the wordplay.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'melee' is an anagram indicator.
'be'+'fine'='befine'
'befine' after 'afl' is 'aflbefine'.
'aflbefine' anagrammed gives 'INEFFABLE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ineffable that I've seen before include "Unable to be described in words" , "Defying description" , "Too great to be put into words" , "defying expression" , "impossible to describe" .)
