    Pretty moving article by the Ox. glad he is back at the club and I hope they open the doors up for him more oftern! Glad he has turned his life around too.

    Ps Great to see he doesn't beat around the bush still and says it like he see's it lol

    Yes on all counts. I hope the club continues to takes steps to build on the history and legacies left by past players. Can't help but feel we are lagging significantly on this front. We have a great history & tradition which needs to be understood & recognised by all - indeed, they should be excited by it.

    Welcome back Ox, don't be a stranger.

    Quite apart from all his punting etc... he is a small step below Robbie Flower as my favourite player of all time. He had it all. Superstar.

    Unfortunately, his kind of intuitive, mercurial brilliance cannot always be taught or coached. Some like the Red Fox Norm Smith, Leigh Matthews, even Robert Walls could. But the mercurial players like Skilton, Carey, Bartlett, Ablett could not. I don't reckon Schwartz has the attention to detail needed for coaching. And his addictive personality could mean coaching senss him nuts.

    But to come alongside Dawes, Clark, Hogan etc... in some one-on-one coaching advice - YES PLEASE!!!

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • 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.
