It's a shame that the GWS game is next week and not in a few weeks, they would've been the perfect opposition to roll him out to for the first game. Perhaps the last round, bring him in similar fashion to what we did with Grimes a few years back. Just give him (and the supporters) a taste of what's to come.

Sounds like he's raring to go, not surprising, must feel like a caged animal!

Glad to hear Toumpas is back healthy again, I really want him to do well, and he's shown glimpses but nothing concrete yet.

Thanks for the report Saty.

Any sign of, or word of Salem??

Unbelievable that Pedersen has to miss a few weeks and have Surgery but Merrett gets off free!

Disgusting MRP!!

Disgusting...or corrupt?

Certainly bloody inconsistent.

Hogan playing a game is probably the only thing that could raise my care factor from negative ten to two, maybe three, hurry up and kill the season.

Hey Saty, is the Toump back on the track yet?

I hope Toumpas returns to the seniors before the end of the year.

Would be good to see the Toump, Salem and Hogan get a run before the end of the year, would much rather the kids play than blokes like Tapscott

I'd be surprised to see the Toump on the play again in the senior team this year. You can lose a lot of conditioning after a surgery like that. Best thing for him would be to look towards the pre season and start fresh. Maybe get in the last 2 games at Casey

Cheers for the update report. Can't believe Merrett didn't cop a suspension.

You must be naïve and / or have not been watching MRP rulings, if you believed that there would ever be any consistency or honour in their rulings.

I am not sure whether I should be more concerned were they proven corrupt or merely inept

Disgusting MRP!!

His Coach joined the long line of commentators who were stunned he wasn't given at least 2 weeks.

We have to learn, as someone already said on here," the head is sacrosant, unless it is a Melbourne player." Sylvia says "Hi" to Eagle Josh Kennedy.

That was part of my weighting.. It just flies in the face of what everyone ( nearly ) thought would be the outcome. He ( Leppa) is like the cat that got the cream, cant believe Merrett is still selectable.

The MRP isnt even a joke.....theyre funny...the panel isnt

It's funny because after last week's game I was as disenchanted as I have ever been, but now with another game closing I have it back.

I think it's the feeling (or desperate hope) that the boys will be intent on making up for what was their absolute worst effort of the year.

I want to see what they can give us the next few weeks, and I will be seriously p$#@ed off if we don't win at least the GWS game.

We can say farewell to Strauss, Nicholson, Blease and McKenzie without a backward look. There might still be more to learn.

Apparently you can do whatever you like against a Melbourne player and not get suspended, but God forbid a Melbourne player do something that has a whiff of controversy - just check out the Jack Viney and Jack Trengove results - still can't believe Trenners copped 3 weeks for something no one else has ever been cited for!!

That stills hold the record for me. Suspended for an attempt, which the other player avoided and fell to the ground hurting himself slightly.

That could only happen to a Melbourne player.

I could imagine what the Scott brothers would have said if he played for them.

    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

    PODCAST: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits. I apologize for skipping our annual season review show at the end of last season. After a disapponting season filled with off-field antics and a heated trade week, I needed a break. Thankfully, the offseason has recharged me, and I’m back—ready t

    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. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
