This is laughable!!

While we all want more holidays, all it does is increase the cost of business, especially small business who will have to pay staff penalty rates so a few thousand people can go to a parade!! Outside Swanston St it is business-as-usual but at much higher the cost. Andrews has no idea!! Unbellievable!!

    I don't like the Andrew's Government but I think they've nailed this.

    Public Holidays don't have the same crippling effect they had on the economy 20 years ago. The dynamics have changed. People work longer hours, work from home, are connected to email and their mobiles 24/7. Industries that would suffer due to loss of output like manufacturing are dead.

    Melbourne wants to be the sporting capital of the world well lets cement it with a festival revolving around the Grand Final. I went for a walk through Yarra Park this morning and it looks awesome with rides and activities for the kids. The Grand Final can only fit 100,000 but the Grand Final festival can attract 100's of thousands more. All the train lines head there. I'd rather take the kids their than the Royal Melbourne Show. i can only see this getting bigger.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
