Sure hope so, minus the Eagles bit (can't stand that team)

Me too, I really hate the Weagles. My 8 year old grandson barracks for the Dockers (like his dad) but tells me time and time again that Melbourne is his favourite VICTORIAN team. He too is not an Eagles fan.

I get to! Yay for night shift.

Doubt there'll be much happening around here by about 3am though :P

I'm staying up to watch the 3.30am replay on Fox Footy. Can't wait.

haha so am I. This win is crazy, I can't stop randomly shaking my head and fist pumping. I knew there was a reason I supported through all those hard times, cause winning is an amazing feeling.

My son's in the same boat... he's just truned 12 and hasn't seen a lot of success. It was certainly a lift for him though after his team, the Newtown Swans, were suffered a 38 point loss to the ladder leaders earlier in the day.

Mine's similar: 14. Luckily for me/him, we live overseas, and has only seen about 3 matches his whole life. Luckily for him/us, we've somehow managed to win all of them, which has somewhat skewed his perception of the team - a perception I haven't been in a hurry to correct. Go Dees.

Reading the bomber forums is so good it should be illegal.

My favourite comment: "WHO THE **** IS DEAN KENT!!!!!!!!!"

He certainly knows who he is now. :)

I used to go to games in the post-Northey era appalled at not recalling one smother.

Today we had 7, 8, 9?

Young Salem smother = Watts goal; and then the composure with 34,000 ferals shouting at you.

here, here.

daniel cross definitely needs to be given an extra year. He has been fantastic this season,.

could you fit 2 Daniel Cross's into this side?

A Friend out on a farm has Foxtel... do you know if the game is replayed later today, or this week some time?

Carlton, Richmond, Essondon. Just plain wonderful.

Norf?

About Vince, Gerard Healy was spot on about him OTC last Monday.

I'm more of a Cross man myself.

Don't watch the show, what did he say about Bernie?

McKenzie's run on the wing was brilliant but for me the highlight was Pedersen's duck which set the whole play up.

Seems ironic that Pederson won the game for a duck considering his first game last year!

Posted

Not to be confused with Michael Hurley.

Geez he is a bloody average footballer

As I recall he was a top 5 pick, taken couple of spots after Jack Watts in the same draft, and not long ago he signed a 5 year 500k per season deal

Deserves a lot of media scrutiny, they love to talk trash on Watts lack of physicality well Hurley has 12 kg;'s on him and never does anything physical and never imposes himself on a contest

1.30pm EST is the next replay.

If you look at the image plus 2 hours, its in Perth time.

That he (Bernie) is comfortable with being a B grader when he could become an A grader.

I found it a dumb comment. If it were that easy everyone would be an A grader.

Putting Kent's running goal in my top 3 in between the wiz at Waverley and TJ at subiaco.

My favourite was Woewodens running goal from the back pocket. Can't remember the year or opposition but it was an all time great..

Also saw Wells do similar against Geelong way back when.

"Of all teams, OF ALL FKN TEAMS we embarass ourselves against this 2 bob, pissant club AGAIN.

See 2011, see 2012 FKN GROUNDHOG DAY against this shite. Absolute fkn livid.

Hurley should have gone forward in the last quarter IMO, too stubborn bombre"

Just lifted this off Bomberblitz (good reading). Gracious aren't they? BTW who is bombre? Dumb ..ucks!!

I just coughed my toast up in laughter when reading that.

Gold.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
