Good read.

It says a great deal about the person that Bails was.

    Flanagan first, Daylight second and then another 24 timezones before you get another journo who writes with the pathos of Martin.

    All class is Flanners, and I've never met anybody more passionate about the game as a reflection of the people within it. His love of the totality of our game, particularly it's history, gives his natural writing gifts a lyricism and emotional weight that has no equal in sports writing in this country.

    He is able to make the game so relatable and humanly when in todays game the players are seen as celebrities. He is truly a journalistic gem.

    I agree. The subject of the story was my mate Tom, one of the best blokes you could meet. I regularly have a beer at the footy with his dad Dave, another demon tragic.

    Very sad story, but I absolutely loved what the club did for Tom that day.

    If you're interested, here is more of Tom's story. Dave and his family have since raised in excess of $100k for cancer research.

    No doubt it's already being considered somewhere down at MFC, but could the annual clash between Melbourne and Adelaide become for the Dean Bailey trophy? Would duly recognise his impact was beyond state borders, and I'm sure the players, especially guys like Trengove, would feel it an honour to be part of.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons are back at the MCG for the second week in a row. They face the Suns off a 15 day break without their prized recruit and former Demon champion Christian Petracca. This will be a massive test for the Demons who will be facing a genuine Premiership contender. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.
