...ever.

When you combine the anticipation of seeing our new recruits in action both mature and first year, the anticipation of seeing the progress that has been made by some of the established players with another Neeld pre-season under the belt, the anticipation of whether this is the year Colin Sylvia puts us out of our misery and shows his wares as a #3 pick (admittedly a yearly event), the anticipation of the roles of Dawes, Byrnes and Pederson in our new look forward structure, the anticipation of a fit and firing Aaron Davey whose possibly on the comeback trail, the anticipation of the return of Mitch Clark....the list goes on and the anticipation alone could do your head in.

But we have then combined all that with an unprecedented number of "scandals" that have occupied the footy press, not least of which has been one that has revolved entirely around our own club. Indeed the only thing that's been missing has been a scandal involving St Kilda, and that would likely be considered as lightweight compared to the current scandal that has struck at the heart of Essendon and swept the Australian sporting landscape.

As a footy tragic, the wait has tested the patience to its limits. As a Melbourne footy tragic, the wait has been damn near torturous.

Never before have I said this with as much gusto...but....bring on the NAB Cup!

Go you mighty Dees. A new season awaits.

    Oddly enough, It has flown by for me. It dragged leading up to trade week, but once we knew what was happening I was happy and everything else has been a blur. I can't believe it's NAB time already. Looking forward to next week and our first hitout, even if it will be an understrength side.

    It's been an eternity, mate. But today it felt like footy's back, as I started filling in my DreamTeam and realising all the Melb talent we've got to choose from. Jack Viney's a must-have in your DT. Can't wait...

    Damn, the dream is over.

    I have just experienced 5 months without a loss.

    I hope I don't get hit by a Reality Bus.

    Feel like we haven't had any let up so in a way it's been too much talk. I want real footy now . AFL need to watch out for offseason overkill. It is a long season Vlad

    The longest off-seasons will begin after this one.

    Waiting to find out just how good Taylor's recruits are and how much of an immediate impact they will make.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
