Do we have to listen to that Andrew Maher though ? :(

 

I like bedtime stories.

I take it you're now taking aim at Bailey now ? Miller ain't enough hey ?

Could be worth a phone call to Andy Maher. He deserves a caning.


I don't mind listening to 1116 while drifting off to sleep but as soon as I wake up in the morning I have to turn it over to 927 STRAIGHT AWAY. Maher and Watson are two of the biggest tools in the media. Their show is just so fake / contrived and Maher's voice is just so........what's the word? Ocker, blokey?.....god I just can't put into words how much I dislike listening to him speak.

Have you ever heard of ANYONE who likes the way he speaks? It might be ok if he ever said ANYTHING of substance. I remember about 3-4 years ago Richo does a Hammy and he gets on the line from the boundary and claims it's career ending, and he's been doing it ever since.

I can deal with an ex-footballer perhaps being a bit on the rough side speech-wise, but when a guy's ONLY job is to say relevant things and sound good, I just don't understand why he's employed at all. I can't find a criterion he excels in.

And who's next in line? Underwood.

 

Andy Maher is the male version of the steretypical hysterical woman (Before the lynch mob descends, please read the use of the key word....stereotypical - as in not real).

He is all about drama - empty vacouous drama, with the veneer of sociability.

Urrrggh.

I heard him say the other morning that he had no problem with the Ju$$/ Visy deal, and was quite shocked at how other people continue to react..Enough said..he must be silenced soon.

you're absolutely right. everything is exaggerated. and biased. every mediocre carlton player is underated. and everyone he speaks about is the best at something in the afl. best contested mark in the afl. best leap in the afl. best this best that in the afl. it might be partially bearable if he wasn't talking absolute rubbish the whole time about players who are clearly not.

... I remember about 3-4 years ago Richo does a Hammy and he gets on the line from the boundary and claims it's career ending..

What ended Richo's career??? Just because he was years early doesn't mean he wasn't correct. :P

my recollection of interview

Asked DB what he thought of the first two games

first game was not how we play the game

second game was playing more attacking footy

started to move the ball more

need to get more games into the young ones, once

we get 40 to 60 games into the players

then we will see the recruiting efforts pay off

expects to see the recruits of three years ago

make an impact on the game

like jack grimes, maric, cheney

big loss in mortan as he is one

of those players to show improvement

and have an impact this year wont

play until round 7 to 8

sam blease coming on nicely chance

Spot on. I find it disturbing that we may be relying on Jamar and Martin up forward. Jamar should be in the ruck and martin in my opinion is not capable. I really wish we drafted some key tall forwards in the last couple of years so we would have some depth in this area. Looks like Garland will be playing back.

sam blease coming on nicely chance

Is that correct ?

I'd thought their definitive goal would be to surpass the ~31,500 they achieved last year. :(

The herald sun article states we're looking to break 30,000 by round one

sorry about that

I could be wrong he might have said over 30,000 not around 30,000 if so my mistake

At the end of the day it is what it is.

Hope to see some good footy before round one just to help

Cheers

Thanks for the post dino

I tend too agree they have tried the whole Martin Forward and it does not work he is NOT a good set shot and is suited better in the back half, I am a fan of Jamar as a CHF but the problem with that is we don't have 3 of him. They have too play Jammar as our Number 1 Ruckman and Spencer Number 2 they could swap @ CHF and Martin can Ruck in the Back Line?? And to think many would have been happy to trade Jammar for a draft pick last year.... IMO This bloke is one of the most important players in our side as we don't have any ruck options

Is that correct ?

I think Dean meant to crack into the seniors by the 2nd half of the season. Sure he'll be playing for Casey well before that.

sorry about that

No worries. Appreciate the update.

45HG16 - cheers too.

Thought it was pretty disappointing overall, though hardly unexpected - responses (or more correctly non-responses) to the questions about our set-up for kick-ins, and the lack of a recruitment strategy regarding key forwards was evasive, as usual.

I'm sorry but .... :blink:

maybe he doesnt want to blab his tactics for the oppositions to hear

they have already told us they are focused on a killer midfield and that they didn't rate any of the talls available at pick 11 or 18. End of story.

I don't know why people expect such transparency, and it seems entertainment, from a coaches interview

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

  • FEATURE: 1925

    A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

  • NON-MFC: Round 08

    Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREGAME: West Coast

    The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.
