To me the Barry Manilow would be a gun to the head, but Adam like that your radar is on and your not afraid to speak up in a mature way.

On the light hearted note, I am amazed at how often father son selections seem to come good, I too hope that Hogan and other get some Barry White tunes happening.

If Barry's singing a Jim Steinman song, he goes alright. Otherwise I'm with you, mate. :)

Chris Johnson was a pretty ordinary one, but outside of that disaster, I'd say the last decade has seen some champion father/sons. Only have to look at all of Geelong's champions (I'd be putting Hawkins in that category too).

Sign Watts and Gawn up for 3 years ASAP

Extend Hogans contract to 5 years and big money

Sylvia for 2 years, might have to pay overs a little but its worth it as we have hardly any good senior players

You pay overs for a player like Mitch, Dawes got his worth. Sylvia cab take what he is given , pay him what he is worth, nothing more. Many will laugh but Flash should be given a year.

Terlich has shown more this year than Col has his whole career. I'm not saying get rid of him, just pay what he is worth. He's coming off his big contract. Throw any so called overs at future stars, players who put in every week.

Ha ha you're funny. Simply no.

Col' best games namely Hawthorn 09(?) is the best game I've seen from a Melbourne player since before Bailey's time at least.

So Col had a blinder in 09, must of slipped my mind. Whilst he has improved this year , on the whole his career has been disappointing. Terlich lacks a bit of polish but that will come. He has guts, determination and puts in consistently every week. I live in Sydney(it's only temporary) but have seen him at the G three times this year, the last being Sunday. He is getting better every game and his confidence and willingness to back himself and take the game on stands out. I just read on another that he wants to stay, that great news, but you can't help but think what if. Before we blame the previous coach/coaches other players seem to be doing alright.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
