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.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
