He's certainly toeing the competitive line. It's a shame that there aren't any decent synonyms for "competitive", the word is starting to grate a bit.

    This is a suggestion I made at the Youth Summit (I'm sure I'm not the only one), but I can't help but feel quite a bit is lost by the club instigating this...

    As I said on the day, Gilbert Arenas is famous for writing a blog almost as much as for being a superstar in the NBA, obviously though he wouldn't have the former without the latter.

    The thing that makes Gil's blog so interesting and entertaining is that he doesn't hold back or get censored -- it is an unadulterated insight into his personality, which he has in spades, and his everyday life & random thoughts.

    From this he's drawn a lot of publicity & attention towards his team to great effect.

    The point is: with the club having control & censorship over a player's blog on the club website, I doubt it will be even half as entertaining as it could be.

    I was envisaging a player that is a bit of clown, not too concerned about what other ppl think and who loves the sound of their own voice.

    Bate, to me, seems more of the sensible, reserved type.

    Good to see the club listening though (Jamar seemed fairly enthusiastic about the idea).

    And it'd be hard for a player to come out doing their own blog, ignoring the club's desire for censorship of anything & everything, unless you were a Judd or Ablett.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
