    Our favorite player that is well known for shirt fronting James Hird has joined his mob.

    Loved the Wrecker he was one of my all time favorite players!

    All the best to him.

    wow, that means hird's future must be numbered for sure

    i wonder if little hired him to speed things up?

    Good on him, he is still playing footy for Nth Ringwood Veterans in the Eastern Football Leauge a over 32's competition.

    We beat them in the GF, he still hits hard though!!!

    For the record his son is a gun for Nth Ringwood seniors won the comp B&F.

    Why do the indigenous boys go to fat once they finish their active sporting days, Rioli and Lionel Rose are two other examples.

    Toned fit athletes one minute, over weight the next.

    Mind you Long is an extreme porker.

    We got any decent ex-players working within our club, except for Viney?

    Seems they all go elsewhere.

    I think finally we have "decent" people working for the club. Whether they are ex players or not is immaterial to me. I just want the best people.

    I must walk to the beat of a different drum, I personally think it's important for an ex-player to do some coaching at a different club.

    Sorry mate but his son is no older than 6.

    No I haven't to be honest, living in Qld for the past 28 years hasn't helped I guess.

    Perhaps you could give me several examples from 'half' the ex non-indigenous Demon players you refer to ?

    I could watch that all day.

    Maybe they have employed him to take the cheating narcissist out permanently ??

    Ahhhhh HA HA HA HA!

    Essendon are that desperate to find a way to quickly remove James Hird from the contest, of course they bring in Matthew Whelan.

    The board is just playing the tape of the hit, over and over, and hoping now everything will be ok.

    maybe they have plans for hird.... getting him to shift out! he's nestled in like a new york Rat,,,, so the pest controller removalist is moving in?

    That hit, would have got "wheels" a serious holiday in today's world!

    thats the trouble with the game today, its run by lawyers. its been bled dry of any real character of yesteryear.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
