This read really makes me emotional. I hope that Jimmy will pull through this, and I know that he is most likely to, and he is the man that will lead this club to its greatest glories since the '60s, and no sentement will be forgotten on this great ruckman that grabbed the club by the scruff of its neck and dragged it out of its darkest era and in to its new era of greatness. We will love you forever Jimmy.

    At times I've probably taken for granted that The Age has devoted a journalist to the Melbourne Football Club this year. It's been terrific to have a yearful of positive media directed at the Dees. Can you imagine the uproar on here if Flanagan had been posted to Collingwood this year? We'd be using the paper as fish and chip wrappers. In an era where we've found it difficult to get our 'brand' out there, it has got to be a huge plus. Who knows exactly what this translates to in terms of supporters gained or public perception, but it's certainly a positive and I'm thankful to The Age for it.

    For a dual wooden spoon winner our club has been getting a lot of positive press lately. If there are people at the club pulling these strings they deserve a pat on the back.

    I agree.

    I also think it would be nice if he was embedded with us again next year to write about what we hope will be vastly different seasons.

    Martin was with us in our dark days, he should stay to see us emerge into the light that we can now see at the end of the tunnel.

    Well summed-up AD. Great article.

    I hope we can keep Martin Flanagan involved within the club. A Fine Writer. He paints pictures the way older generation journalists did before Television.

    We must keep him....

    He writes about our (hopefully! ;)) positive future, without forgetting our rich history. It's what the Melbourne Football Club is about.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
