Hey Surfa

Do you remember the news paper article from when Stinga was drafted/recruited? They had him in his school uniform from memory doing a jump for joy and he was just a wisp of a kid. He certainly did muscle it up.

    i had that in an exercise book cut out with all the guys lol great shot they put it in the paper when he retired to show the difference..

    we need better facilities and i was always worried about our sports fitness team when everyone keeps constantly breaking down look at last year for instance.. it is no suprise that when a club physician changes everything falls apart.. some are good our ex weightlifter trainer is a bit suss...

    Missed the game and as it is a media black spot have heard little, I was wondering how Valenti went in his first game?

    Looks a footballer to me.

    Thought his pressure was great, and I think he will play a lot of football for Melbourne.

    Don't wory about his height, midfielders don't all have to be 190cm

    The game is played on the ground also.

    I liked what i saw in him, best thing about the young blokes is that they are going to improve, How about Cale Morton that kid has potential champ written all over him
    Agree - they both look to have "it" - furthermore they both look to "want" it as well which is lacking in some of their more experienced peers..Let's hope they can be around for many years to come..

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
